Description
Electrical Design Engineer - Analogue, an opportunity to join a leading provider of high performance sensing and condition monitoring solutions. Based at their facility in Switzerland within the Sensors development engineering team the Electrical Design Engineer will contribute towards designing analogue signal conditioning systems.Role Responsibilities:
* Lead design and adaptation of charge converter electronics and signal conditioning (attached and/or built-in) for the different accelerometer families in the CE xxx series.
* Lead design of proximity probes (TQ xxxx series) for nuclear applications (20 and 30 meters) on the basis of existing 10 meters proximity probes.
* Prepare, carry out and follow the development and validation tests up to certification.
* Generate technical documentation (including diagrams, layout, BOM, IM and calibration).
* Manage aspects of subcontracting the manufacturing of the PCB.
* Prepare and follow up required certifications (ATEX, CCSa US, etc...).
* Provide technical leadership and support to team members with regards to analog design and signal conditioning.
Required Skills and Experience:
* Strong experience designing analogue signal conditioning systems for extreme environments - conditioning of sensors.
* Strong experience with of PIC (microchip) and Texas MSP Series
* Strong experience with programming languages (assembler and/or C)
* Familiar with analogue development tools and simulation environments, including: Cadence, National Instruments and TINA.
* Good knowledge of design standards, including: ATEX, SIL, RoHS & WEEE /EC, IEC standards.
* Experience with DO-254
* Experience with sensing systems and technologies, including: proximity sensors, PCB, piezoelectric sensors, cable assemblies and connectors
This is an initial 6 month contract based in Switzerland with the opportunity to convert to a permanent position in the future. This is a challenging, rewarding environment where you will have the opportunity to work with cutting edge technologies.
