Role Summary/Purpose

BHGE Wireline develop downhole instrumentation (Wireline logging tools) used in the Oil and Gas industry. The UK site designs and manufactures a diverse range of products that operate in deep wells, under extreme environments. The business currently has a vacancy in the Engineering Department for an Embedded Software Engineer to lead the development of the core firmware platform and specific tool firmware using a range of technologies including DSPIC, ARM M0+/M4 and Zync Ultrascale+.
Essential Responsibilities

The applicant will be a core member of a small team working closely with the electronic, mechanical and software engineers to develop the next generation of downhole tools.

In this role, you will be a member of a team actively involved in developing physical sensing techniques and electronic instruments aimed at providing oil companies with important data about conditions in both new and established oil and gas wells. This is an exciting opportunity to join a world-class team of engineers and designers.

The successful applicant will become a key member of a team of electronic engineers and physicists developing sensor instruments to work in the challenging and hostile environment found downhole in oil and gas wells. As a member of the Development team, you will work closely with other Electronic, Mechanical and Software Engineers. The ability to communicate well with other team members on compliance-related issues is essential.

·  To develop and agree the embedded software specification for tool developments.

·  Implement object orientated embedded C++ 11 firmware for ARM Cortex M0/M4 devices.

·  Working with real-time operating system on embedded devices.

·  Implementation and bug fixing for firmware using C for a range of devices include dsPIC.

·  Development and debugging of FPGA code using VHDL.

·  Development of algorithms to acquire, process and transmit data down hole.

·  Documentation of Firmware (UML using Enterprise Architect, Doxygen)

·  Implementation and testing of drivers to interact directly with hardware.

·  Undertake testing and debugging of tools using a range of electrical test equipment including oscilloscopes, logic analysers etc.

·  Development of PC test software using C#.

·  Developing tests to validate and resolve issues when tools are operating at elevated temperatures, typically 177C.
Qualifications/Requirements

This is a highly challenging role and DT is seeking a strong candidate possesses the following skills and attributes:

·  Educated to degree level i.e. BSc/BEng or equivalent qualification in a related discipline; such as Electronics, Physics or Computer Science with relevant experience or equivalent knowledge or experience.

·  Candidates without formal qualifications but with significant experience will also be considered

·  Strong C and C++ skills in an embedded, multi-threaded environment.

·  Able to design, develop and document objected orientated code.

·  Strong analytical and debugging skills.

·  Experience of hardware/software interfacing, particularly analogue data conversion and digital electronics

·  Experience of Low-level communication interfaces, RS232, SPI

·  Strong communication skills, both written and verbal.

·  An ability to work in a multi-disciplined team.

·  Highly motivated self-starting approach.

Applications from job seekers who require sponsorship to work in the UK are welcome and will be considered alongside all other applications. However, non-EU/EEA candidates may not be appointed to a post if a suitably qualified, experienced and skilled EU/EEA candidate is available to take up the post, as the employing body is unlikely, in these circumstances, to satisfy the Resident Labour Market Test.
