Reporting to the Director of Engineering
We are seeking a motivated Controls and Software Validation Lead to join our in-house Engineering Team.
In this role, you will lead the capture and delivery of software requirements for our control systems across multiple marine and industrial projects, working with the Innovation and Workshop teams to code and test (via SIL, HIL and Flow-rig) all functionality prior to deployment onto customer applications. You will also support certification/approval activities related to our control system hardware and safety-related software features.
The ideal candidate will have a demonstrated background in mechanical or electrical engineering, software development, control systems or a related discipline (any risk analysis or safety-critical function experience is desirable, as is experience with Azure DevOps). It will be critical to be able to effectively liaise between multidisciplinary engineering/project teams and ensure requirements are clearly defined, implemented, tested, and verified.
This is an exciting opportunity for a candidate who thrives on innovation, problem solving and “closing the loop”. Over the past decade, the company has built a reputation for designing, manufacturing, and testing several world-first alternative fuel and propulsion systems, and continues to be at the forefront of low-carbon technology development. As part of our team, you will play a key role in delivering pioneering engineering solutions and fuel systems that help shape the future of sustainable transport and energy.
