We're recruiting for a highly skilled Electronics Engineer to join a multi-disciplinary team within a Precision Guidance environment. The role requires broad, extensive electronic knowledge across both digital and analogue domains, plus the ability to drive design reviews and take designs through verification into production.

* Requirements capture, schematic capture and PCB layout (DxDesigner & Expedition - Siemens EDA)
* Circuit simulation
* Drive the design review process, collaborating with other engineering functions and manufacturing
* Devise and implement design verification tests and supporting documentation to transition designs into production
* Design solutions considering product quality, safety, reliability and testability
* Present robust engineering solutions at design and peer reviews
* Deliver project tasks to statement of work, including cost/timescale constraints
* Work with minimal supervision
* Mentor/coach junior engineers to build team capability
* Support system/sub-system integration and debug
* Contribute to engineering process improvement and make technical decisions within own responsibility

* Degree (BSc/BEng/MEng/MSc/PhD/EngD) in Electronic Engineering (preferred) or related science (e.g., Physics) with specialisation in electronics
* Experience of PCB development tools and process (preferably Siemens EDA)
* Specialism in one/more of the following:
* High-speed digital design (LVDS, JESD204 and/or Ethernet comms)
* FPGA & processor circuit design incl. DDR memory + power/peripheral circuits
* Analogue low-noise signal conditioning + ADCs/DACs
* Power supply design (low-noise, low-power, compact)
* Circuit simulation plus PCB signal & power integrity analysis
* DFx experience (design for cost, test, manufacturability)
* System/sub-system integration and debug experience
* Matlab/Simulink knowledge beneficial
* Strong communication and teamworking
