We're recruiting for a highly skilled Electronics Engineer to join a multi-disciplinary team within a Precision Guidance environment. The role requires broad, extensive electronic knowledge across both digital and analogue domains, plus the ability to drive design reviews and take designs through verification into production.

\n
• Requirements capture, schematic capture and PCB layout (DxDesigner & Expedition - Siemens EDA)
\n
• Circuit simulation
\n
• Drive the design review process, collaborating with other engineering functions and manufacturing
\n
• Devise and implement design verification tests and supporting documentation to transition designs into production
\n
• Design solutions considering product quality, safety, reliability and testability
\n
• Present robust engineering solutions at design and peer reviews
\n
• Deliver project tasks to statement of work, including cost/timescale constraints
\n
• Work with minimal supervision
\n
• Mentor/coach junior engineers to build team capability
\n
• Support system/sub-system integration and debug
\n
• Contribute to engineering process improvement and make technical decisions within own responsibility
\n

\n
• Degree (BSc/BEng/MEng/MSc/PhD/EngD) in Electronic Engineering (preferred) or related science (e.g., Physics) with specialisation in electronics
\n
• Experience of PCB development tools and process (preferably Siemens EDA)
\n
• Specialism in one/more of the following:
\n
• High-speed digital design (LVDS, JESD204 and/or Ethernet comms)
\n
• FPGA & processor circuit design incl. DDR memory + power/peripheral circuits
\n
• Analogue low-noise signal conditioning + ADCs/DACs
\n
• Power supply design (low-noise, low-power, compact)
\n
• Circuit simulation plus PCB signal & power integrity analysis
\n
• DFx experience (design for cost, test, manufacturability)
\n
• System/sub-system integration and debug experience
\n
• Matlab/Simulink knowledge beneficial
\n
• Strong communication and teamworking
