Based at the Daresbury Innovation Centre, instrument design technology is an expanding high technology company providing mechanical instrumentation and professional engineering services to the worldwide scientific community specifically in Synchrotron Radiation. We are currently looking for:

Project Design Engineer

The position will typically involve the design of precision optical mechanisms for use within a UHV (Ultra High Vacuum) environment. Candidates should hold a Phd in Physical Sciences preferably a background in experimental Physics or closely related Physical science and have experience in 2D & 3D design, from conceptual design phase. Experience with Linux and C programming language is also required for writing custom EPICS control systems. The right candidate could eventually take on the role of Project Design Engineer; taking a project from enquiry through to final design, manufacture and commissioning involving factory acceptance testing using a wide range of metrology instruments, typical projects will involve complex ‘opto-mechanical’ precision mechanisms subjected to high heat loads in a UHV environment. The international nature of the market means the individual would be required to work overseas for short periods.

Experience of modern particle accelerator technologies would be welcome but is not a pre-requisite. idt use Solid Works as their principal design tool formal training will be given to the right candidate.

This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic & talented Graduate or Phd Post Doc to join a growing innovative high technology company.

 

Finite Element Engineer

The position will typically involve the thermal modeling & optical ray tracing of precision optics & associated optical mechanisms for use within a UHV (Ultra High Vacuum) environment.

Candidates should hold a MSc in Mechanical Engineering or higher qualification preferably a background in engineering or closely related Physical science and have experience in 2D & 3D design, from conceptual design phase. 

 The right candidate could eventually take on the role of Project Design Engineer; taking a project from enquiry through to final design, manufacture and commissioning involving factory acceptance testing using a wide range of metrology instruments, typical projects will involve complex ‘opto-mechanical’ precision mechanisms subjected to high heat loads in a UHV environment. The international nature of the market means the individual would be required to make short overseas visits.

Experience of modern particle accelerator technologies would be welcome but is not a pre-requisite. IDT use Solid Works as their principal design tool formal training will be given to the right candidate.  IDT uses Ansys for FEA modeling plus Cosworks which is fully integrated into the 3D Solidworks package

This is an exciting opportunity for an enthusiastic & talented Graduate or Post graduate to join a growing innovative high technology company.
