• Collaborate with external engineers to explore real-world application opportunities
• Attend industry events, conferences, and field trials to assess technical feasibility
• Contribute to feasibility studies and early-stage commercial application projects
About you:
• Degree in Chemical, Mechanical, Process, Biochemical Engineering or Chemistry
• 2–4 years’ experience in an engineering or technical environment
• Practical, hands-on mindset with strong problem-solving skills
• Comfortable engaging with engineers and technical stakeholders
• Able to explain technical concepts clearly
• Open to travel for events, testing, and collaboration
Why join us?
• Work with cutting-edge, breakthrough fluid sensing technology
• Gain exposure to real-world engineering challenges across multiple industries
