We are looking for an Electronic Engineer to work for our defence client on the design and test of complex maritime systems. You will generate and/or support electronic design solutions for both new products and technology insertions into legacy products. You will support detailed designs from concept to completion and address a range of engineering issues. You will participate in all aspects of board and unit-level design and test including their interfaces with higher levels.

Responsibilities:

• Detailed electronic circuit design including component selection, evaluation, simulation, schematic capture, and liaising with PCB design teams.
• Specification of bespoke procured hardware.
• Design verification using a combination of simulation, analysis, and test techniques, including support to EMC test houses and customer installations.
• Generate design documentation and technical reports.
• Interfacing with related disciplines.
• Assist the development of higher level system designs.
• Assist the development of technical requirement specifications
• Support system integration activities
• Work with embedded software and PLD engineers as necessary
• Contribute to progress, peer, and design reviews

Requirements:

• Generating component level electronic designs for introduction into volume production.
• Digital design including processor interfacing, memory devices, PLD interfacing, UARTs, SPI, I2C, Ethernet etc.
• ADC/DAC devices and techniques
• Analogue design including op-amps, transistor-level design, control loops and and low noise techniques.
• High power techniques.
• Design proving, integration, and defect resolution
• Gathering of evidence to support acceptance, fitness for purpose, legislative requirements, and safety.
• Able to work within cost and timescale constraints

Desirable Skills:

• Background of operating in a defence or high safety integrity environment.
• Knowledge of low-noise analogue techniques
• Knowledge of high power techniques (kW level)
• Knowledge of FPGA/CPLD development

Additional Information:

Due to the sensitive nature of the project involved, all applicants must be sole British nationals. You will need to be capable of gaining a UK MOD Security Clearance to SC level.
