As a University of Applied Learning, SIT works closely with industry in our research pursuits. Our research staff will have the opportunity to be equipped with applied research skill sets that are relevant to industry demands while working on research projects in SIT. 

The primary responsibility of this role is to deliver on an industry funded research project where you will be part of the research team to develop advanced Nuclear Quadrupole Resonance (NQR) scanning technologies.

Job Responsibilities

•    Participate in research project with Principal Investigator (PI), Co-PI and the research team members to ensure all project deliverables are met. 
•    Undertake these responsibilities in the project: 
i.    Conduct comprehensive literature review on NQR technology, including design approaches, scanning methods, signal processing techniques, and comparison with alternative detection technologies.
ii.    Support design and development of NQR prototype, including system architecture, component selection, and experimental setup.
iii.    Conduct lab and site tests to evaluate the performance of NQR prototype.
iv.    Generate design documents and test documents at every stage of development until the final prototype.
•    Coordinate procurement and liaison with vendors/suppliers.
•    Carry out Risk Assessment, and ensure compliance with Work, Safety and Health Regulations.
•    Work independently, as well as within a team, to ensure proper operation and maintenance of equipment.

Job Requirements

•    Has a bachelor’s degree in Electronics; Specialization in RF/Microwave or Digital Signal Processing (DSP) is preferred.
•    Has solid knowledge of electronics, including circuit design, PCB layout, and hardware troubleshooting.
•    Has relevant competence in the areas of Radio Frequency design and measurement; Familiarity with high-power amplifier systems is a plus.
•    Has relevant experience in the areas of Digital Signal Processing (DSP) design and implementation is a plus.
•    Experience in electromagnetic simulation using CST Studio Suite and circuit simulation with PSpice, LTspice, or equivalent is an advantage.
•    Experience with developing software for instrument control and data acquisition using LabVIEW is helpful.

Key Competencies

•    Strong experimental skills and theoretical knowledge in electronic circuits, and RF or DSP design, with the ability to apply hands-on prototyping and system development.
•    Able to build and maintain strong working relationships with people within and external to the university.
•    Self-directed learner who believes in continuous learning and development
•    Proficient in technical writing and presentation 
•    Possess strong analytical and critical thinking skills
•    Show strong initiative and take ownership of work
