Experimental Data Engineer - Advanced Engineering Start-Up - Oxfordshire

We have an incredible opportunity for an Experimental Data Engineer to join one of the UK's most exciting venture-backed deep-tech start-ups.

This fast growing company is redefining the future of high-performance engineered systems and advanced materials, combining world-class engineering with cutting edge data science, proprietary software, and additive manufacturing.

Innovation here isn't theoretical — it's hands-on, tested, and built into the next generation of advanced products.

In this role you'll work alongside exceptional engineers, metallurgists, and software developers at the forefront of materials design, precision manufacturing, and experimental validation.

This is a chance to be part of a team where experimentation, insight, and creativity directly influence real-world technology.

As an Experimental Data Engineer, you will design, build, and maintain advanced testing and data acquisition systems.

You will configure hardware, integrate sensors, and develop software to collect, process, and visualise complex datasets, turning raw data into actionable insights that drive performance and product development.

You will also automate workflows, expand experimental capabilities with new technologies, and collaborate closely with design and engineering teams to ensure all tests are feasible, accurate, and impactful.

The ideal candidate will have a strong background in data acquisition systems, preferably using LabVIEW, Python, or C, with hands-on experience in hardware integration and control systems.

You will be comfortable working with high-speed and high-temperature data, familiar with electronics and sensors, and experienced in collaborative coding using tools such as Git.

Candidates with a PhD or industry experience in Mechanical, Aerospace, Electrical, or related STEM disciplines are highly desirable.

Additional experience in embedded electronics, performance testing, or UX design for control and visualisation systems will be a strong advantage.

Competitive salary with annual performance-based bonuses

, Equity options — share in the company's long-term success

, Private healthcare and comprehensive wellbeing package

, Generous pension scheme (9% non contributory)

, Dedicated R&D time to explore new technologies and research ideas

, Annual training & conference allowance of £5,000 for personal development

, Flexible and hybrid working — work where you're most effective

, Opportunities for international collaboration with teams in Europe, Asia, and the US

, 25 days holiday plus your birthday off and extra days for long service

, Regular team offsites, guest talks, and hack weeks to spark innovation

, An open, supportive culture that values curiosity, creativity, and deep technical mastery

If you're passionate about data, experimentation, and cutting-edge engineering, this is your chance to help shape the future of advanced technology.
