Description
Job Title: Electronics Design EngineerLocation: Surrey (plus available to travel overseas)
Purpose of the job:
- An electronic engineering role to work on instrumentation and acoustic systems. The candidate should have experience and specific expertise in analogue circuit design preferably in an instrumentation development environment.
- The work will involve mixed signal design including pre-amplifiers, filters, power supplies, interfacing and analog-digital conversion for precision instrumentation applications. Some experience or knowledge of microprocessor based circuit design and embedded software would be desirable. Practical skills would be desirable but not essential.
- The candidate will be expected to work independently or as a member of a team contributing to all aspects of the product development cycle from requirement analysis through design & development into production. Candidate would be expected to produce design documentation and test specifications.
- Candidate will be expected to provide technical support to Sales and Marketing for bidding/proposal writing and technical assistance to the Customer Support Manager and production department.
- Candidate would be expected to provide occasional off-shore support as required including some overseas travel.
- Candidate must be UK citizen. Candidate must be suitable for SC security clearance with the UK Ministry of Defence.
Key Areas of Responsibility:
- Basic Analog components / circuits
- Operational Amplifier circuits
- Power supply technology
- Circuit analysis, modelling and theory
- Analog-Digital Conversion, Interfacing and IO (e.g. I2C and SPI bus)
- CAD Schematic layout
- CAD PCB design Fault finding
Specific Duties and Responsibilities:
- New product development (design & test)
- Existing product development (fault finding / improvement / enhancement)
- Support to Production Department test engineers Engineers (after settling in) would be expected to design, prototype and document a circuit. Then take it through to a manufacturability state. This may be as part of a team.
- Electronic modelling
- Schematic Design
- Printed Circuit layout Design documentation
Useful Knowledge:
- Assembler and/or embedded 'C' Use of PAL/FPGA technologies. Linux
- Good written and presentational communication skills will be required.
- Development experience would be an advantage though new graduates will be considered.
