New role for this designer and manufacturer of cutting edge electro-mechanical and opto-electronic sub systems and components used in high reliability applications across the space, aerospace, defence and oil & gas sectors.

Info about what the Senior Electronics Design Engineer / Design Authority role entails

Senior level Electronics Engineer role AKA Hardware Technical Lead / Design Authority. The project is an optical Fibre Transceiver. An exciting and challenging piece of work, not high-speed digital electronics, more a perfect blend of analogue and digital electronics.

Working closely with the Systems Engineer (Avionics) and Project Manager you will act as the owner of the design & product. It's a technical role as the architecture decision maker designing, defining and defending the architecture. No management specifically but you will split tasks to the relevant technical disciplines (mechanical, firmware, etc).

Essential Requirements of the Senior Electronics Design Engineer / Design Authority

* An experienced Analogue and Digital Electronics Design Engineer (the product is a perfect blend of analogue and digital so analogue or digital bias is not too important, but good experience with both is necessary)

* Good experience designing high reliability electronics in the Aerospace or Defence sector

* Good experience with capacitors, inductors etc

* Good firmware / FPGA (eg VHDL, RTL) experience

* Knowledge simulation tools like SPICE (simulation and modelling tools, COMSOL is also OK)

* Mixed signal knowledge using ADC/DAC
