University College Cork, Tyndall National Institute invites applications for an appointment as a Senior Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) Applications Engineer to provide technical leadership in the design, development and deployment of Wireless Sensor mote and gateway platforms for conditional monitoring and micro-grid applications. This is for supporting a number of EU Research programs that Tyndall has undertaken in alignment with Tyndall’s strategy in participating in ‘ICT for energy efficiency’ projects. The contract is for a minimum of 12 months and will be subject to extension depending on candidate performance and the awarding to Tyndall of similar research contracts.
Description
Reporting to the Principal Investigator for each project the candidate will:
Act as the technical lead and Tyndall interface in meeting conference calls, reviews, etc.
Be responsible for the specification, design and development and pilot support of hardware solutions for conditional monitoring and microgrid applications. This will be in many cases combination of Tyndall developed hardware and firmware with commercially available hardware platforms. It will also involve the interfacing of the WSN hardware and firmware with various types of equipment (e.g. heatpumps, solar panels, inverters, wind turbines).
Be responsible for developing constituent elements for collaborative WSN solutions co-developed with project partners as required on a project by project basis, e.g. energy harvesting & storage technologies, actuation platforms.
