Apply your engineering skills to cutting edge scientific research:
Instrumentation Engineer (Specialist Technician)
The University of Southampton hosts one of a few research groups in the world that collect marine electromagnetic data in the deep ocean.

This equipment is operated globally from research vessels, usually as part of international research collaborations.

The engineer will work alongside a small team of engineers working with related equipment. You will be responsible for mobilising the equipment for use at sea, leading a small team of engineers and scientists operating it at sea, and refurbishing it following use. This post offers global travel and working at sea, providing the key datasets required by scientists working at the forefront to better understand how our planet works. The post is fixed-term in the first instance but with extension anticipated if further project funding is secured.
To be successful you will have skill level equivalent to the achievement of HND, Degree, NVQ4 or basic professional qualification in technical, engineering or science and/or equivalent technical experience along with knowledge/experience of power electronics, analogue circuit skills and micro-controller embedded systems.
