Assist in modifications, upgrades, and maintenance of remote dashboards used for experiment monitoring and control.
Design and develop dashboard widgets for real-time and post-processed data visualization.
Implement and improve data representation methods (graphs, charts, trends, alerts) for experimental and performance data.
Support testing activities, including system setup, connectivity troubleshooting, logging, and validation of data integrity.
Work closely with researchers and engineers to translate experimental requirements into IT and software solutions.
Maintain documentation for dashboards, interfaces, configurations, and test setups.
Work closely with cross-functional teams including procurement, finance, and safety to support project delivery and compliance.
Contribute to research proposals, research disseminations, and project deliverables.
Support laboratory activities, including equipment maintenance, procurement, and administrative tasks.

Job Requirements:

Bachelor's degree in computer science/engineering, or electrical engineering or information systems.
Experience with IT systems integration, instrumentation interfaces, and data communication protocols (e.g., TCP/IP, serial, Ethernet-based instruments).
Familiarity with dashboard development, data visualization tools, or web-based UI frameworks.
Basic understanding of power electronics laboratory environments is an advantage.
Ability to troubleshoot hardware-software interaction issues in a research setting.
Strong analytical, documentation, and communication skills, with the ability to work independently and collaboratively in a dynamic, cross-functional teams, and fast-paced research environment.
