Software Engineer / Labview Engineer / Signal Processing

As a Software Engineer, you’ll be part of a team that is responsible for developing applications based on high speed data analysis for an exciting R&D project in the Energy and Power sector. Your skills must include a knowledge of Waveform analysis and understand the concepts of cross correlation, Fourier Analysis, Spectral analysis and other similar signal processing items.

You will act as the main programmer on the development and technical levels of the system and will be working with two other CLA engineers in the production of the Architecture and R&D project.

The role would suite a PHD or MENG graduate with impressive LabVIEW skills and a CLA or possibly CLD qualification with the ability to reach CLA.

The duties and responsibilities of this position may also include, but are not limited to, interacting directly with customers to program, train, inform, advise and consult in the design of their applications using the best test and measurement hardware and software by:

Programming memory and speed efficient applications using LabVIEW using Object Oriented Programming and Event-based architectures.
Understanding of the data acquisition side of the system and previous experience using National Instruments hardware and DAQmx
Knowledge of Power engineering, Volts, Amps, Real Power, Apparent Power, Reactive Power, Power Factor etc.
Providing timely, accurate and effective solutions to technical problems.
Providing guidance on the installation and working functionality of both software and hardware, including explanation of configuration settings.
Reproducing and troubleshooting problems and incompatibilities.
Delivering technical presentations and demonstrations to customers, colleagues and partners.
