Job Description:
Welcome to Accelleo! We are excited to present an excellent opportunity for SC/DV Clearable Electronic Engineers to work within the Security and Defence space.
Job Brief:
The Electronics Engineer will be responsible for research, design, and development of digital and analogue electronics within the hardware engineering team that forms part of our client's Communication Systems Business Unit.
Responsibilities:
- Specify, design and prove/verify digital and analogue electronic hardware in order to deliver high quality electronic hardware that meets the requirements in a timely manner and within budget.
- Perform design calculations and carry out simulations using industry standard tools, and prototype as required, to estimate performance, identify high-risk areas and ensure high quality designs that require minimal re-design.
- Develop and test/verify electronic hardware according to the hardware development process.
- Estimate time and effort required for electronic hardware activities and deliver to these time and effort estimates to ensure cost and schedule adherence.
- Provide technical direction and exert technical influence across multiple projects, such that the optimal approach, architecture and design are selected.
- Work with production test to ensure designs are suitable for volume production. Support production to assist them with the rapid debugging and resolution of electronic hardware issues encountered in order to minimise production delays.
- Work constructively with other team members, actively contributing to design reviews, to ensure a collaborative working environment.
- Explain technically complex concepts clearly to less technical/involved parties.
Requirements:
- Willing and able to obtain and maintain SC (or preferably DV) security clearance.
- Able to travel occasionally to other sites, suppliers and test houses.
- Degree in an Electrical or Electronic Engineering or equivalent experience.
- Experience of high-speed digital designs that include processors and programmable devices
- Experience of analogue circuit design and switched-mode power supply design
- Able to design reliable power supplies that meet requirements and analyse against all input and output conditions across temperature and estimate performance accurately.
- Competent with schematic capture tools and understands how to constrain layout using rules/classes/groups.
- Must have developed large, complex designs requiring multi-layer PCBs (and PCB stack-up design).
- Appreciation of design and test for EMC and TEMPEST.
- Experience of DOORS, PADS and/or PSpice.
If you are an Electronic Engineer with Defence sector experience and either a valid SC/DV Clearance or the ability to become cleared, we would love to hear from you. Apply now!
