Electronic Design Engineer We are a global leader in specialised components and subsystems for innovative solutions in medical, science, aerospace, defence and industrial applications.
Our products are everywhere, hospitals, planes, ships and even outer space, but you will only see them if you know where to look.
This role includes the design of compact high reliability high voltage (5-10kV) systems for airborne military applications, specification of design requirements to meet system specifications and provision of support technical documentation - Key drivers are design for ultra small volume, versatility, and high reliability.
General Accountabilities: Electronic Design Engineer Design of circuits and sub-systems to meet customer requirements and ensure a reliable, manufacturable product that meets the cost targets Provides fast, accurate, and technically competent resolution of technical issues during the development, production and in service Verification of the circuit and systems design through design simulation, practical test, and appropriate environmental test Considers regulatory, legislative, environmental and safety standards in design Underwrites changes to product build standard post the product launch as might be driven by continuous improvement activities, obsolescence, legislative or regulatory changes Identifies IPR/patent issues and opportunities ensuring these are assessed and drives raising of claims as required Regular review of the product market and technology advances to identify opportunities to develop new products and/or upgrades.
Work with the business leadership to develop these into future development as appropriate Skills and Experience: Electronic Design Engineer Expert knowledge in design of power electronic systems: Switch Mode PSU design; PCB Design; High frequency digital and analogue circuits in MILSPEC applications; High frequency magnetic components (transformers); High Voltage and high power experience ideal – 3 to 10kV, 500W to 2kW Experienced in design for Reliability (MTBF) in electronic systems Appreciation of electronics encapsulation in demanding environments Experienced in analysis of design failure mechanisms using DfMEA/FMECA.
Demonstrates clear understanding of the demands of electrical safety and models safe working practices Knowledge of PCB layout tools and manufacturing techniques or similar for schematic capture & Mathcad
