Description
Senior Engineer - Digital Electronics Engineering
For us, the best' is never good enough, because nothing stays the best' forever. The fastest runner is always overtaken. The tallest building is always surpassed. The biggest ship is always superseded. We believe there's a more worthwhile ambition than wanting - or claiming - to be the best'. We are determined to get better and better because that's an unending ambition. And it makes us alert, innovative and self-critical.
Our client in Titchfield, Hampshire currently has an opportunity for a Senior Engineer in Digital Electronics Engineering with FPGA/ASIC design experience. In depth knowledge of high speed digital electronics and associated tool chains for design and implementation such as VHDL are essential to the role.
- Excellent organizational & communication skills are also vital as the role will involve working on various aerospace AC and DC pump and motor control projects simultaneously, including coordinating with other project team members, liaising with component suppliers and key customers at a technical level. Working knowledge of aerospace standards DO-160 and DO-254 are particularly desirable, as is knowledge of OEM customer practices and regulations.
- Responsibility includes execution of highly technical projects predominantly of a concept development and detailed design engineering nature. These projects will involve use of simulation tools, design for reliability and DFSS methodologies as appropriate for civil & military aerospace applications. This position works within a small to medium sized technical team of power electronics, analog electronics and control specialists reporting to the Engineering manager - Electronics Products, supporting the larger engineering department in this specialist discipline.
- Originate and develop FPGA/ASIC design concept (architecture) and approach, and evaluate, select, and adapt complex criteria, techniques, and procedures to resolve difficult problems and complicating factors.
- Work with analog, power electronics, controls and electromagnetics team to develop motor control solutions for various motors including but not limited to AC, brushed DC and Brushless DC.
- Lead the digital electronics design function and support conformance assurance to objectives and schedules, laboratory testing; prototype procurement; follow-up etc.
- Produce analytical designs using tools such as Matlab/Simulink to tight timescales and be able to then convert this analysis into practical production designs in conjunction with other disciplines within the Engineering department.
- Support Engineering manager and Program Managers with technical input for internal and customer PDRs as required and various conferences as appropriate.
