We are seeking a highly motivated technologist to join our Advanced Technology team in Edinburgh. This role focuses on exploring, developing and demonstrating novel technology and system architecture concepts for future product differentiation in a fast-moving, exploratory environment.
Working in close collaboration with senior technical leaders, you will take early-stage ideas through feasibility assessment, modelling, prototyping, experimentation and demonstration. You will evaluate the practicality of new approaches, identify key risks and trade-offs, and find pragmatic ways to combine mathematics, sensors, electronics, data analysis and algorithms to address complex problems.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop and advance new technology concepts from early-stage ideas through to demonstrated feasibility
- Assess the feasibility and practicality of novel approaches, identifying key risks, trade-offs and fundamental limitations
- Develop prototypes, experimental platforms and proof-of-concept demonstrators to evaluate new technologies and solutions and showcase their value to customers
- Define and execute experiments, analyse data, and drive lab-based validation to characterise performance, validate hypotheses, and guide technical direction
- Develop models, algorithms and analysis techniques to investigate new concepts and address complex problems
- Iterate quickly when results do not meet expectations, refining concepts, prototypes and methodologies to converge on viable solutions
- Present findings clearly and contribute to technical reviews through effective communication and documentation
- Directly contribute to product competitiveness by establishing that new features and solutions are feasible, advantageous and robust for product use, while identifying high-value opportunities for future innovation
Required Skills and Qualifications:
- Degree in Electrical / Electronic Engineering, Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science or related discipline (preferably 2:1 or better); advanced degree (MSc/PhD) advantageous
- Strong analytical and mathematical skills, with the ability to understand new concepts quickly, ask the right questions and fill gaps in incomplete problem definitions
- Ability to work across disciplines, combining electronics, algorithms, modelling and system-level thinking
- Proven experience developing prototypes and experimental systems to evaluate new ideas and technologies
- Hands-on lab experience, including development of measurement methodologies and systems, test automation, experimental characterisation, and data analysis
- Experience with MATLAB, Python or similar tools for modelling, data analysis, prototyping and automation
- Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to expose both conceptual and implementation issues quickly and iterate toward solutions
- Pragmatic approach to engineering, making appropriate trade-offs to prove concepts efficiently without getting lost in unnecessary detail
- Strong communication skills, with the ability to present findings clearly, support technical discussions and influence direction across the team
Preferred Skills and Qualifications:
- Experience working with sensors, signal processing, or data-driven algorithms
- Experience developing novel measurement techniques or methodologies for characterising emerging technologies
- Experience applying statistical analysis, data visualisation, or advanced data-processing techniques to experimental data
- Experience developing customer demonstrations to showcase the value of new concepts and technologies
- Demonstrated ability to rapidly learn and apply new tools, technologies, and techniques to solve unfamiliar problems
