A leading organisation in the defence and security sector is looking for an Electronics Design Engineer to support the development and delivery of advanced electronic systems within a busy Mission Systems environment.
Key details- Contract length: 24 months
- Location: Portsmouth (Broad Oak) - onsite 1-2 days per week
- Rate: £60.63 PAYE or £81.90 UMB per hour
- Start: ASAP (subject to onboarding)
The roleYou'll apply broad electronics design expertise to generate robust, production-ready digital design solutions. You'll be responsible for PLD-level designs and how they interface up into higher-level assemblies and systems, and you'll support peer reviews and design assurance across the wider product area. Key responsibilities- Deliver detailed digital circuit design including:
- component selection and evaluation
- simulation and analysis
- schematic capture
- providing guidance and design intent to PCB layout teams
- Develop FPGA/CPLD solutions, including:
- VHDL design and implementation
- simulation, test, integration and use of embedded IP where required
- Perform design verification using a blend of simulation, analysis and test:
- support EMC test activity (including external test houses where needed)
- support system bring-up and integration activities
- Produce clear engineering documentation, design packs and technical reports
- Work closely with cross-functional teams including:
- systems engineering, EMC, mechanical/thermal, manufacturing, safety, ILS, and configuration / product data management
- Contribute to engineering lifecycle activities:
- progress reviews, peer reviews, and formal design reviews
- provide estimates for your work and deliver within agreed cost/timescale constraints
Skills & experience (essential)- Strong background in board-level digital electronics design (processor interfacing, memory devices, PLD interfacing etc.)
- Significant experience in FPGA/CPLD development
- Confident working with digital interfaces such as UART, SPI, I2C, Ethernet
- Experience in design proving, integration and defect resolution
