Electronic Design EngineerElectronic Design Engineer February 2008
JOB DESCRIPTION
Aber Instruments designs, manufactures and sells equipment for monitoring the concentration of biological cells in bio-processes. The technique is based on radio-frequency impedance measurement. Our main customers are brewers and bio-pharmaceutical companies based in most developed countries world-wide. Most of our end-users are within large, often multi-national organisations and they use the Company’s products at various levels, from research to production.
The Company now requires an Electronic Design Engineer to work within the R&D department of the Company. This person will work on various aspects of research and development and will be responsible to the R&D Director.
This key job will involve furthering the design of the analogue part of our measuring systems. As well as developing circuitry that enables stable and accurate measurements, there will be a requirement to produce smaller, more cost effective and innovative designs. To do this, in addition to electronics, the job demands a good general understanding of physics and of biological processes.
Some of the research work involves collaboration with academic institutions and/or industrial partnerships. The job will require this person to get involved with these partners to enable the production of publications and papers about the use of our technology.
Activities will include:-
Salary and benefits
Up to £28k, depending upon qualifications and experience.
