The Role

Do you have a prior research background in embedded systems design and electronic engineering? The Engineering department at Newcastle University could be the place for you.

The Microsystems Research Group is seeking to appoint a highly motivated researcher to support the School of Engineering’s EPSRC IAA project on “Commercialization of our non-intrusive, autonomous smart water metering infrastructure for flow measurement and leak monitoring”.

The Microsystems Group is prominent in the UK. It has an international reputation for world-leading research across microelectronics design and computer systems engineering with seven academic members, 10+ Research Assistants/Associates and 20+ PhD students.

This project aims to commercialise our non-intrusive and self-contained water metering infrastructure for flow measurement and to adapt our technology to monitor leaks within a water distribution system. We have already designed and developed a reference infrastructure for smart water metering (a demonstration prototype was created with NWG and tested on our in-house testbed, TRL6), which still requires further development and testing to become a commercial solution.

We are committed to building and maintaining a fair and inclusive working environment and we would be happy to discuss arrangements for flexible and/or blended working.

The appointment is fixed-term, tenable for 12 months in the first instance from 1st July 2023. The position is available on a full-time basis (37 hours per week).

Provide active intellectual contributions to the research project by ways of, e.g., planning for implementation, generating new ideas, and conducting lab experiments
Prepare clear, well-written reports and draft scientific papers to meet the requirements of high-impact journals on time according to the project timeline set out by the Principal Investigator
Present research findings at conferences or through publications in reputable outlets appropriate to the discipline

The Person

Knowledge of hardware/software co-design applied in embedded systems
Knowledge of energy-efficient/low-power design principles
Knowledge of low-power embedded systems design, e.g. energy harvesting systems
Experience in PCB design and programming languages, such as C/C++
Ability to program microcontrollers (e.g. Texas Instrument MSP430 series)
Desirable
A developing track record of peer-reviewed publications in internationally recognised journals and conferences and experience in presenting to the national and international research community
Relevant industry experience in presenting research at national and international conferences

Attributes and Behaviours
