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