An experienced self-sufficient Senior Engineer, needing very little supervision. A quick starter, that can function well in their new role from the outset. To interpret design drawings and be competent in using CAD software to draw test hardware. Someone from a design engineering background, looking for more hands-on will find this an ideal role. Comfortable doing and understanding relevant Mechanical Engineering calculations. Good technical knowledge especially within the Marine industry is desirable. Particularly working with classification societies and IMO compliance standards. Demonstrate ability to use test monitoring software tools such as LabVIEW, Tetrascience, and enVigil. Well experienced in setting up instrumentation and data capture equipment, such as thermocouples, LVDT sensors, and tachometers. A good communicator who can work with project leads to develop test requirements. Good experience in report writing, with a high attention to detail. Able to do some occasional travelling.
