Location: Currently West Molesey moving to Blackbushe Yateley in May 2024.
Probation period: 6 Months
Purpose of the job:
An electronic engineering role to work on military, instrumentation and acoustic systems. The candidate should have experience and specific expertise in analogue circuit design preferably in an instrumentation development environment.
The work will involve mixed signal design including pre-amplifiers, filters, power supplies, interfacing and analog-digital conversion for precision instrumentation applications. Some experience or knowledge of microcontroller-based circuit design and embedded software would be desirable. Practical skills would be desirable but not essential.
The candidate will be expected to work independently or as a member of a team contributing to all aspects of the product development cycle from requirement analysis through design & development into production. Candidate would be expected to produce design documentation and test specifications.
Candidate will be expected to provide technical support for bidding/proposal writing and technical assistance to the Customer Support and Production departments.
Candidate would be expected to provide occasional off-shore support as required including some overseas travel.
Candidate must be UK only citizen.
Candidate must be suitable for SC security clearance with the UK Ministry of Defence.Key goals / Aim of the position Basic Analog components / circuits
