Description:
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.
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 the outputs -- because the best sensor specialists know that understanding the data is inseparable from understanding the sensor itself.
You won't be expected to lead R&D functions or manage large teams. This is about technical depth, not breadth of management experience.
What You'll Be Doing
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 (industrial, diagnostic, agricultural, and beyond)What We're Looking For
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 domainsWhy Apply?
This is a genuine opportunity to apply specialist knowledge in a focused role, within a business that values deep technical expertise. You'll have the space to do what you do best, working alongside talented engineers on meaningful sensing challenges.
