Role Overview

An opportunity has arisen for a skilled and broadly experienced electronics design engineer to join the engineering team at a world leader in marine electronic navigation systems. 
As hardware platforms evolve to encompass leading edge technologies, our client have a requirement for an additional electronics engineer, focussed on providing additional strength in hardware and associated firmware/software development.

You will have a demonstrably strong track record in the design and development of electronic products, with a particular emphasis on embedded devices including driver and system control software.

In addition, you should ideally have at least 8 years’ experience of “full lifecycle” design of complete embedded systems in the automotive or marine electronics sectors. 

Skills, Experience & Qualities required:

Duties will include:

• Detailed analogue, digital and power supply circuit design.
• Evaluation testing and improvement of designs.
• Collaboration with our mechanical designers in the design of mechanical enclosure solutions.
• Hardware level software development for embedded systems in C or C++ (C++ preferred).
• Participate in peer reviews providing constructive input to improve designs.
• Complete required project documentation.
• Collaborate with and closely integrate design work with other specialist disciplines.

Broad technical knowledge is required in many or all of the following domains:

• Design of digital electronics including embedded microprocessors (e.g, ARM, STM32, PIC)
• Design of industrial control & data interfaces (RS422, CAN, USB, WiFi, ADC, DAC)
• Design of low power switch-mode power supplies
• PCB layout techniques for power supply and EMC performance
• Design for manufacture and test suitable for medium production volumes

All the following personal attributes are required:

• Self-starter with motivation to achieve demanding technical and project targets.
• Excellent inter-personal and communication skills.
• Strong interfacing and team-working skills.
• Strong organisational and planning skills
