Sensor Specialist
Up to £70,000 | Dagenham + Hybrid Work from Home | Permanent
Are you a hands-on sensing specialist with a genuine passion for sensor technology and the science behind it? We're working with an innovative technology business in Dagenham to find a talented Sensor or Chemical Sensing Engineer to join their engineering team as an individual contributor, embedded within a close-knit group of mechanical and electrical engineers.
About the Role
This is a focused specialist position for someone who has spent the last 5-7 years getting deep into sensing, VOC detection, and chemical sensing technology. You'll be working on the integration of sensors into hardware devices and supporting data analysis of their outputs — because the best sensor specialists know that understanding the data is inseparable from understanding the sensor itself.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You won't be expected to lead R&D functions or manage large teams. This is about technical depth, not breadth of management experience.
Responsibilities
- Integrating gas, VOC, and chemical sensors into mechanical and hardware devices
- Working across sensor types including MOX, electrochemical, and PID
- Supporting data analysis of sensor outputs
- Collaborating with mechanical and electrical engineering colleagues
- Applying your expertise across a wide range of sensing applications including industrial, diagnostic, agricultural, and beyond
Requirements
- Solid experience with gas sensing, VOC profiling, or chemical sensing technology
- Practical exposure to multiple sensor types and their characteristics
- Comfort working with sensor-generated data and some sensitivity for data analysis
- Experience integrating sensors into real-world hardware products
- Background could span diagnostic, agricultural, industrial, environmental, or similar domains
