Job description

Sensor Specialist

Up to £70,000 | Dagenham + Hybrid Work from Home | Permanent

Are you a hands‑on sensing specialist with a genuine passion for sensor technology and the science behind it? We’re working with an innovative technology business in Dagenham to find a talented Sensor or Chemical Sensing Engineer to join their engineering team as an individual contributor, embedded within a close‑knit group of mechanical and electrical engineers.

The Role

This is a focused specialist position for someone who has spent the last 5‑7 years getting deep into sensing, VOC detection, and chemical sensing technology. You’ll be working on the integration of sensors into hardware devices and supporting data analysis of the outputs — because the best sensor specialists know that understanding the data is inseparable from understanding the sensor itself.

You won’t be expected to lead R&D functions or manage large teams. This is about technical depth, not breadth of management experience.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Integrating gas, VOC, and chemical sensors into mechanical and hardware devices
• Working across sensor types including MOX, electrochemical, and PID
• Supporting data analysis of sensor outputs
• Collaborating with mechanical and electrical engineering colleagues
• Applying your expertise across a wide range of sensing applications (industrial, diagnostic, agricultural, and beyond)

What We’re Looking For

• Solid experience with gas sensing, VOC profiling, or chemical sensing technology
• Practical exposure to multiple sensor types and their characteristics
• Comfort working with sensor‑generated data and a sensitivity for data analysis
• Experience integrating sensors into real‑world hardware products
• Background could span diagnostic, agricultural, industrial, environmental, or similar domains

Why Apply?

This is a genuine opportunity to apply specialist knowledge in a focused role, within a business that values deep technical expertise. You’ll have the space to do what you do best, working alongside talented engineers on meaningful sensing challenges.
