• Must have a bachelor’s degree in science or engineering (5+ years of experience in technical area). A postgraduate degree is preferred.
• Background in electro/mechanical devices and/or automation.
• Strong technical background and experience within Systems Engineering – Requirements Management, Hazards Analysis, System Architectural Development, Functional Modeling, Systems Integration, Statistical Test Design, Verification and Validation, Reliability Engineering, and Failure Modes Effects Analysis.
• Proven track record developing complex experiments independently, performing statistical analysis, interpreting experimental results, and making informed recommendations.
• Apply creative problem‑solving skills to novel or complex applications.
• Ability to self‑direct and manage own work.
• Ability to collaborate in multi‑disciplinary team settings, influence decision making, and build group consensus.
