The Role:
We are looking for a talented and driven graduate engineer to join us here at ONYX. Contributing directly to the research, testing, and delivery of our next-generation hardware and sensing products. You will be hands-on across the full product lifecycle — from research, concept design, prototyping and validation through to manufacturing support, installation, and customer trials. Working closely with engineering, supply chain, SHEQ, and global delivery teams, you'll help solve real-world hardware challenges, develop robust sensing and data acquisition solutions, and ensure our products are reliable, scalable, and ready for deployment in demanding environments.
Key Responsibilities:
Hardware research
· Research and test new solutions to hardware problems (e.g. relating to data acquisition systems; sensors technologies; data flow and installation)
· Mechanical design of test fixtures and product components
· Evaluate and test wireless communications solutions (e.g. wifi, LoRa, satellite and cellular solutions)
· Assemble and test prototype equipment
· Support the manufacturing of new products and handover to the Supply Chain team
· Support the delivery of pilot projects and customer trials or new products
Testing and validation
· Develop test plans and test specifications for hardware and sensor products
· Design and construct test apparatus when needed
· Run in-house testing when appropriate (e.g. functional testing and soak testing of hardware products)
Technical documentation
· Develop work instructions for the installation of hardware products
· Work with global Engineering teams to optimise the installation process
· Work with SHEQ Manager to create risk assessments for R&D and testing activities
· Develop specifications for installation hardware
Required Experience & Qualifications:
· Bachelors' Degree in engineering, electronics, physics or similar discipline
· Strong practical skills, demonstrated through previous projects (e.g. during extracurricular work and/or hobby projects)
· A self-starter, driven to develop new solutions to technical problems
· Outstanding communication skills, able to collaborate with colleagues remotely
· A quick learner with the ability to acquire a deep understanding of hardware and software products
· Experience using mechanical and/or electrical CAD software would be a benefit
· Experience using single board computers and sensors would be a benefit (e.g. Raspberry Pi, Arduino, etc.)
· Software development experience would be a benefit (e.g. python, C++, etc.)
