Description

Electronics Design Engineer

Client: BAE Systems

Location: Broad Oak Works, Portsmouth

Onsite: 3 to 4 days per week

Duration: 12 months

Rate: £60.63 PAYE or £81.90 Umbrella

BAE Systems is hiring an Electronics Design Engineer to support the electronic aspects of hardware design and test, covering both new product development and technology insertions into legacy products. You'll be involved end-to-end from concept through detailed design, verification, integration and test, working closely with wider engineering teams.

The role

You'll contribute to board and unit-level hardware design, ensuring designs are robust, testable and suitable for introduction into production. The work includes supporting internal test activity as well as external environments (EMC test houses and customer installations where required).

Key responsibilities

Detailed electronic circuit design, including:

component selection and evaluation

schematic capture

circuit simulation and analysis

supporting PCB layout teams through the design cycle

Board and unit-level design & test, including interfaces to higher-level assemblies/systems

Design verification using a blend of simulation, analysis, and practical test methods

Support EMC testing activity (including liaising with external test houses) and support to customer installations when needed

Produce and maintain design documentation, technical reports, and supporting evidence packs (acceptance, fitness for purpose, safety/legislative requirements)

Specify and support bespoke procured hardware

Work collaboratively across disciplines (systems, embedded software, PLD/FPGA engineers, test, integration)

Support system integration activities and contribute to defect resolution

Participate in progress reviews, peer reviews and design reviews

Contribute to developing technical requirement specifications and support higher-level system design as required

Essential experience

Degree (or equivalent) in Electronic Engineering (or closely related)

Proven experience producing component-level electronic designs that can be introduced into volume production

Strong digital design background including (as applicable):

processor interfacing

memory devices

PLD interfacing

UART, xjnqpsq SPI, I2C, Ethernet

Experience with ADC/DAC devices and associated techniques

Solid analogue design experience (op-amps, transistor-level design, control loops, low-noise techniques)

Experience with design proving, integration, and defect resolution

Comfortable working to cost and timescale constraints

Able to communicate complex technical detail clearly and produce strong documentation

Desirable experience

Defence or high safety integrity environment experience

Low-noise analogue techniques

High power techniques (kW-level)

FPGA/CPLD development exposure

Mentoring/coaching other engineers (depending on seniority)

Clearance / eligibility

You must be able to obtain and maintain BPSS and full SC, and meet UK eyes only / ITAR restrictions
