Lead validation and integration activity — validate application software using HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) rigs and laboratory test drives; integrate control software into larger systems and verify end-to-end functionality.
Interface and collaborate across disciplines — write application software that interfaces with peripheral equipment, and work closely with cross-functional teams including hardware, systems, and commissioning engineers.
Support commissioning in the field — travel to customer sites to support equipment commissioning and validation, typically a few times per year for durations of a few days up to two weeks.
Advance engineering practice — apply and develop best engineering standards and design practices, ensuring compliance with relevant health and safety regulations and international standards throughout your work.
About You
