Purpose of this role

The purpose of this role is creation of cost-effective sensor application solutions, validation test rigs and product demonstrators – with emphasis on mechanical and fluidic integration – that

1. Clearly demonstrate the value proposition of Flusso-based solutions;
2. Lead to customer adoption of Flusso products (against competing solutions).

Responsibilities

Flusso product demonstrators and validation

• Develop a thorough understanding of customer requirements for sensing solutions to meet their application needs;
• Create application demonstrators for Flusso sensor products and solutions: 1) Proof of concept sensor integrations into representative system applications (e.g. HVAC, medical, consumer products etc.); 2) Correlation of computational fluid dynamics models to real-world sensor applications; 3) Design and assembly of custom mechanical components; 4) Implementation of PC software (Windows) to run the system; 5) System integration: electro-mechanics, fluidics, electronics and software;
• Validate Flusso-based solutions for target applications with lab testing, with focus on cost-effective mechanical integration and fluidic performance;
• Produce associated product sales training material and application notes;

Customer evaluation and design-In support

• Acquire comprehensive understanding of customers’ specific application / use case requirements.
• Analyse application / use case requirements using computational fluid dynamics and map them to customer fluidic design requirements, to ensure Flusso-based solutions can be easily designed-in and will meet or exceed customer system requirements;
• Assist customers during their evaluation of Flusso solutions; diagnose the root causes of any problems that arise and find practical solutions.
• Work with customers’ engineering teams to devise end-product integration solutions that meet or exceed their specific application requirements.
• Train distributor field application engineers (FAE’s) and provide design-in support to them when necessary.
• Create technical notes to guide customers’ mechanical and fluidic integration of Flusso products.

Post-sales support

• Assist customers with the investigation of any issues that arise with Flusso-based solutions and help them move forward.

General

• Design and assemble custom fixtures for the Test Engineering group.
• Contribute to program, project and sprint planning.
• Contribute to the creation of Flusso IP.
• Maintain personal tasks on a team JIRA board and schedule work in line with project plans, coordinated with the activity of colleagues.
• Report personal task status and results in project team meetings

Requirements

Qualifications, knowledge, skills & experience

Bachelor’s degree in a relevant Engineering or Science subject – such as Mechanical Engineering – with study of fluidics.

Must be skilled and experienced in:

• Fluidic system analysis, design, simulation (using tools such as Solidworks Flow, ANSYS or COMSOL), physical implementation and testing;
• Electro-mechanical-fluidic system design;
• Mechanical design using Solidworks or a similar tool;
• Rapid prototyping using 3D printing, machining and other methods;
• Handling electronic hardware when integrating application solutions and validation test systems;

• Inspires confidence in colleagues, partners and customers by virtue of domain knowledge, expertise and experience;
• Well-developed practical skills for system building and testing.
• Thorough and accurate in pursuit of cost-effective engineering solutions.
• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, start-up environment.

Benefits

• Base salary
• Bonus (% of base salary) based on company and personal performance
• Workplace pension contribution 3% of full base salary (we can trade with salary level for higher)
• Bupa Cash Plan Level 3 (employee only)
• Private Medical insurance with cover for spouse/partner and dependent children
• Group Life Insurance covers up to 4 x salary
• 25 days holiday plus bank holidays (adjusted for part time roles)
• Support for relocation (loan discharged over two years service)
