Key to this will be the ability to analyse the requirements of each application using computational fluid dynamics and mapping them to client-based fluidic design requirements, as well as creating functioning demonstrators and test-boards. By virtue of their knowledge, expertise and experience in the domains of MEMS and semiconductor development, the right candidate will inspire confidence in colleagues, partners and clients. They will have well-developed practical skills for system building and testing, and will be thorough and accurate in pursuit of cost-effective engineering solutions. They will be able to mentor and train more junior colleagues and will understand the value of clear and comprehensive documentation. Excellent communication skills will be essential., * A good degree in engineering or similar technical or scientific subject which includes the study of fluidics. * Skills in fluidic system analysis, design, simulation (SolidWorks Flow / ANSYS / COMSOL) physical implementation and testing. * Electro-mechanical-fluidic system design and mechanical design using Solidworks or a similar tool. * Experience of rapid prototyping using 3D printing, machining and other methods. * Comfortable integrating application solutions and test systems with hardware, as well as programming hardware with firmware to run test software. * Experience working directly with clients on development projects and developing product demonstrators. * Full rights to work in the UK without time limit. Skills in the following subjects would be a distinct advantage: * Flow and gas sensing. * Silicon-MEMS technology and semiconductor/MEMS packaging. * Python, C, C++, C#, WPF or Labview to run test setups and demonstrators. ## Related Videos - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) - [Playing Pong on a shoulder press machine](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100140-playing-pong-on-a-shoulder-press-machine) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Modern DevOps for IoT Devices and More](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1805-wearedevelopers-live-modern-devops-for-iot-devices-and-more) - [Software stack under and over the hood of the fastest accelerating car in the world](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/221-software-stack-under-and-over-the-hood-of-the-fastest-accelerating-car-in-the-world) - [Strange New Worlds: shaping the future of the digital age](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/677-strange-new-worlds-shaping-the-future-of-the-digital-age) - [Agent Smith Gets Hardware: Autonomous IoT Hacking From Debug Port to Cloud API](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100258-agent-smith-gets-hardware-autonomous-iot-hacking-from-debug-port-to-cloud-api) ## Related Articles - [Software Engineer Salary London](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/252-software-engineer-salary-london) - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [Software Engineer Career: Things You Should Know](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/143-software-engineer-career-things-you-should-know) - [Frontend Developer Salary in The UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/233-frontend-developer-salary-in-the-uk) - [Is Software Engineering Hard?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/448-is-software-engineering-hard) - [Software Engineer Salary in The UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/231-software-engineer-salary-in-the-uk)
