Socode are excited to be partnering with a globally recongnised sensor technology company developing next-generation solutions for flow and gas sensing across global markets – from high-performance consumer devices to advanced healthcare and industrial systems.

What will I be doing?
You’ll lead the design and execution of test systems for complex sensor products – building the hardware, developing the software, and delivering reliable, actionable results that directly influence development and commercial success.
Key responsibilities include:

• Architect, build and validate custom test setups, integrating electronics, fluidics, mechanical fixtures, and environmental control
• Develop LabVIEW-based automated test software with intuitive interfaces, scalable architecture, and robust data handling
• Design and fabricate (or outsource) custom mechanical and electronic test hardware including fixtures, PCBs, and gas/fluid setups

• Create detailed test specifications, plans and scripts to characterise sensor performance and validate compliance
• Execute verification, qualification and correlation tests across development and early production stages
• Build data pipelines and analysis tools in Python or MATLAB to extract, visualise and interpret key performance insights

• Work closely with hardware, software, firmware and applications teams to define test criteria and refine results
• Contribute to lab infrastructure development and help mentor junior engineers
• Support root-cause analysis for anomalies and product investigations with methodical, hands-on testing

What do I need to be successful?
This is a highly technical and hands-on role requiring experience across electronic systems, software, fluidic systems, and data. You'll need strong attention to detail, a collaborative mindset, and the drive to build scalable, high-quality test processes that power product success.
We’re looking for:

• A degree in Engineering or Physical Sciences
• Proven experience in test development – ideally involving sensors, flow, or gas sensing technologies
• Strong Labview OR Python experience - Willingness to learn Labview is essential!
• Good understanding of fluid mechanics and gas laws
• Skilled in designing and integrating test setups using electronics, mechanical fixtures, and standard lab equipment
• Familiarity with test jigs, CAD tools (SolidWorks preferred), and ISO 9001 environments
• Comfortable in a multidisciplinary R&D setting with evolving requirements and high standards
