The University of Strathclyde is a leading international technological institution and has a long history of working with industry to deliver strong business growth from access to research and innovation expertise. The latest major initiative continuing to deliver on this track record is through the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS).

As a magnet for innovation in advanced manufacturing, the National Manufacturing Institute Scotland (NMIS) group of specialist R&D centres, supports manufacturing, engineering and associated tech businesses of all sizes, to thrive domestically and internationally through accelerating productivity, embracing new digital technologies and achieving net-zero targets.


We turn smart ideas into reality and deliver ground-breaking research.


Coming from diverse backgrounds and disciplines, our passionate team works alongside industry, academia, and the public sector to solve problems, train the workforce of the future and generate the creative ideas that will transform manufacturing.


Ultimately, we are growing the economy, developing a vibrant and skilled talent pool and helping create prosperous, sustainable communities.


In the age of the fourth industrial revolution, manufacturing organisations (large and small) are actively seeking to understand how they can transform their business through digital technologies. However, as manufacturing processes and systems can be unique to the product that is being produced, challenges still exist and solutions need to be found. To support industry in addressing these challenges, NMIS are looking to appoint a Digital Manufacturing Engineer specialising in connectivity solutions to understand and develop solutions that can provide data acquisition and networking solutions of manufacturing processes.


The Digital Manufacturing Engineer will require knowledge and technical expertise in the following areas;


• Knowledge and experience with manufacturing systems engineering.

• Data acquisition from a variety of sources including machine programming logic controllers (PLC’S), sensors, embedded sensors and edge devices.

• Knowledge and working understanding of networking and integration of data acquisition solutions for manufacturing facilities both wired and wireless i.e 5G / 4G / LoRaWAN, NB-IoT etc.

• Analytical skills in manufacturing data sources for manufacturing and operations management.

• Creation of dashboards and other visualization toolsets for visualization of manufacturing datasets.

• Cyber-Security processes, best practice and implementation.


The Digital Manufacturing Engineer will be expected to work between NMIS, University of Strathclyde and Industry partners to develop strong knowledge exchange activities including collaborative research and development. The Digital Manufacturing Engineer will require the knowledge, skills and experience normally associated with a first degree and/or PhD in Computer Science, Electrical and/or Mechanical Engineering, or Manufacturing Engineering. The Digital Manufacturing Engineer will support research and development programmes on intelligent manufacturing, smart factory systems, digital transformation of industrial enterprises, and will be involved in academic research into one or more of these processes. The postholder shall have knowledge and experience in the following technology areas; Industrial Programming Logic Controllers (PLC’s), Communication and Data Exchange Protocols (OPC-UA, Modbus, etc.), Sensor Technologies, Data Storage, Systems Integration, Network Infrastructure and Cyber-Security.
