Job description
A specialist engineering organisation operating at the cutting edge of advanced control and instrumentation platforms is looking to add a Control Systems Integration Engineer to its growing engineering function., This is a hands-on role suited to an engineer who enjoys working close to hardware, software, and real-world systems, supporting the integration, configuration, testing, and deployment of complex control systems used in demanding operational environments.
The Role
Working as part of a multidisciplinary autonomy and control team, you'll support the integration of control software, sensors, and networking infrastructure across a range of autonomous platforms.
Key responsibilities will include:
- Supporting the integration of complex control system software, sensors, and external systems
- Diagnosing and resolving software, hardware, networking, and integration issues
- Monitoring systems to identify anomalies or failures and supporting automated recovery processes
- Installation, configuration, and maintenance of sensors, control hardware, and IP/Ethernet networks
- Investigating and resolving marine protocol issues
- Preparing, testing, calibrating, and validating control systems prior to deployment
- Supporting Windows and Linux-based systems in an engineering environment
- Maintaining documentation, configuration control, and version-controlled records
- Supporting system installation into new and existing autonomous platforms
- Liaising with internal engineering teams and external technology suppliers
