Lead/ Senior Instrumentation Engineer

Focus: Data Acquisition Architecture, Signal Conditioning, and Sensor Physics.
Mission: To manage the complete measurement chain, ensuring high-fidelity data capture using specific
high-end data acquisition platforms.
Core Responsibilities
DAQ Architecture & Management: Configure, deploy, and maintain high-performance Data Acquisition
Systems. specifically NI (cRIO/PXI) and HBM QuantumX platforms.
• Sensor Selection & Integration: Define sensor requirements for structural tests (strain gauges, load
cells, displacement sensors, accelerometers). Oversee the integration of these sensors with the
DAQ hardware to ensure compatibility and optimal resolution.
• Signal Conditioning: Manage excitation voltages, amplification, and filtering parameters within
the NI and HBM software environments to maximize signal-to-noise ratios.
• Wiring & Noise Mitigation: Design and supervise cabling infrastructure. Implement strict
grounding and shielding protocols to eliminate electromagnetic interference (EMI) and ground
loops in complex test setups.
• Calibration & Traceability: maintain calibration schedules for all NI and HBM modules and
connected sensors. Perform shunt calibrations and zeroing procedures prior to testing.
Required Technical Skills:
Domain Proficiency Required
Hardware Platforms - Expert-level proficiency in configuration and operation of NI cRIO / PXI systems
and HBM QuantumX modules.
Circuit Theory - Deep understanding of Wheatstone bridge configurations (Quarter, Half, Full),
differential signaling, and analog-to-digital conversion physics.
Data Synchronization Experience synchronizing data streams across multiple DAQ chassis and ensuring
time-alignment with control system data.
Troubleshooting - Ability to diagnose signal drift, noise, and wiring faults using precision multimeters
and oscilloscopes.
