AddressSenior Electronics Engineer
£45,000 - £70,000
- A Senior Electronics engineering role to work on military, instrumentation and acoustic systems.
- Candidate should have demonstrable experience and specific expertise in analogue and digital circuit design preferably in a product development environment.
- The work will involve mixed signal design including pre-amplifiers, filters, power supplies, interfacing and analog-digital conversion for precision instrumentation applications. Designs should be safe and be compliant with product standards and legal requirements.
- Experience with microcontroller-based circuit design and embedded software essential.
- Some experience or knowledge of FPGA based circuit design and HDL is desirable.
- The candidate will be expected to work independently on an task or overseeing a team contributing to all aspects of the product development cycle from requirement analysis through design & development, prototyping and into production.
- Some research and investigation into new ideas and techniques that can be applied to the business would be required.
- Candidate would be expected to produce or sign off design documentation and test specifications.
- Candidate will be responsible for initiating investigations and corrective actions for design failures or non-performance.
- Candidate would be responsible for ensuring that test rigs, instrumentation, prototypes and laboratory practices are constructed or undertaken in a safe manner.
- Practical skills would be desirable but not essential; IPC training can be provided.
- Candidate will be expected to provide support for bidding/proposal preparation and planning as required.
