The opportunity

Are you an experienced Mechanical Engineer passionate about product design and innovation? Here is your opportunity to leave a lasting mark on IMDEX’s world-class products, driving advancements in both new developments and existing tools.

At IMDEX, we create sophisticated instruments that combine sensitive electronics and scientific sensors with rugged, field-ready mechanical designs. Our products play a critical role in the geoscience and mining sectors, delivering precise downhole drilling and core orientation data.

We are seeking a technically proficient and motivated Algorithm and Modelling Systems Engineer

to join our Research and Development team. You will be responsible for evaluating academic and technical literature, developing mathematical models, and validating algorithms related to sensor calibration, sensor fusion, inductive sensing, and system performance. You thrive at the intersection of theory and practical implementation, and will contribute directly to the development of robust, production-ready systems. This is your chance to:

- Conduct technical research and analysis by reviewing scientific literature, patents, and white papers to derive actionable implementation strategies aligned with the product development roadmap.

- Contribute to the sensor selection process for new product development, including evaluation of performance specifications, integration feasibility, and alignment with system-level requirements.

- Develop and validate mathematical models using tools such as Scilab, Mathematica, and Python to support algorithm and system design.

- Perform simulation-based verification and robustness testing to assess algorithm performance under a range of operating conditions.

- Translate validated models into clear, software-ready deliverables, including requirements, acceptance criteria, and unit test strategies.

- Collaborate cross-functionally with software and firmware engineering teams to ensure seamless integration of algorithms into embedded platforms.

- Maintain thorough and organized documentation of design decisions, modelling assumptions, simulation setups, and performance outcomes.

- Support root cause analysis and resolution of production performance issues, including calibration-related failures, to drive continuous improvement in product quality and reliability.

To be successful

Your passion for engineering, combined with exceptional problem-solving skills and customer-focused communication, will make you a standout candidate. You will thrive in a fast-paced environment, skilfully managing multiple priorities and deadlines. Your ability to translate complex engineering concepts into clear, actionable insights will keep internal and external stakeholders engaged and informed. To thrive in this role, you will need:

- Bachelor’s or Master’s in Electrical Engineering, Applied Physics, Mathematics, Control Systems, Mechatronics, or a related discipline.

- Minimum 3 years of experience in algorithm development, modelling, or systems analysis.

- Proven experience in developing and validating mathematical models for real-world applications, including successful deployment in field environments.

- Demonstrated ability to translate theoretical research into practical, product-focused solutions, with a strong foundation in identifying, evaluating, and applying emerging technologies to solve engineering challenges.

- Proficiency in MATLAB/Scilab/Simulink, Mathematica, or Python for algorithm development and analysis.

- Familiarity with implementation in C++, Python, or Java production environments.
