Hardware Electronic Engineer

Description:

Role: Hardware Electronic Engineer

Site Location: Fareham

Rate: Negotiable

Duration: Contract end December 24th

Position Summary

Develop and implement safety critical hardware electronic solutions to meet programme requirements across the whole development lifecycle in accordance with customer requirements, legislation, human factors and business needs. Be responsible for the control of own work to meet agreed technical, quality, process, cost and schedule requirements.

The hardware electronics engineer will work to the design lead's technical direction and the project manager's priority direction. They will be required to work closely with systems, safety, software and mechanical engineers as well as quality assurance and production.

Hardware engineers are required to work across the full development lifecycle although frequently they may only address part of the lifecycle on any one project due to process requirements for independence across design and verification activity.

Essential

Hardware Electronic design experience is some or all of:
Design of micro-processor circuitry
Design of digital interface circuitry such as DDR2/DDR3/SPI/I2C/MIPI
Design of analogue signal measurement/conditioning circuitry such as amplifiers, filters and signal sampling/conversion
Design of low voltage power supplies and power switching techniques
Design for EMC/EMI
Design for lightning and voltage transient protection
Ability to drive and manage PCB layout through sub-contract.
Experience of keeping engineering documentation up to date and under configuration control.
Experience of electronic hardware verification including generation and executing of test procedures using standard proprietary test equipment.
Experience of developing high integrity designs, preferably safety critical.
Experience and ability to work within hardware development lifecycle processes.
Willingness to engineer safety critical products in an industry that is highly regulated and where engineering vigour in valued.
Ability to work within a team of engineers from different disciplines.
Ability to communicate complex engineering concepts in an understandable manner.
Ability to identify solutions to engineering problems using analysis and evidence to draw conclusions and make recommendations
Ability to managing multiple tasks to work independently and prioritize duties with minimal supervision, in order to meet deadlines
Strong computer skills including proficiency with Microsoft Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, and web-browsers.

Desirable

Experience using Cadence OrCAD schematic capture, Allegro PCB Editor, pSpice
Experience in documenting designs in preparation for formal qualification / certification
Experience with TI Hercules family of safety microcontrollers
Experience with NXP iMX6 family of microprocessors
Experience with designs using MEMS sensors
Experience with designs using Optical sensors or Optical displays.
Awareness of RTCA DO254 / EUROCAE ED-80
Awareness of RTCA DO160 / EUROCAE ED-14
Awareness of Avionic data buses such as ARINC-429, MIL-1553, AFDX
Awareness of embedded software to facilitate HW/SW integration
Awareness of simple firmware to facilitate HW/firmware integration
Awareness of lean design techniques
