Senior Electronics Engineer (Digital Focus)

We will provide the time and support needed to acquire additional specialist skills, such as using Signal Integrity tools like HyperLynx, and mastering hardware design for AMD and/or Xilinx FPGAs. If you lack client-facing experience, we will also help you develop these skills.

We are keen to support the development of our employees, and as such offer an extensive inhouse training program. As you advance within the organisation there will be plenty of opportunities for you to develop your technical skills and specialism, take on more leadership responsibilities and/or focus more on supporting the development of sales opportunities.

What will you be doing?

Some interesting high-speed electronics challenges that we’ve previously solved include:

High altitude 5G phased array for targeted cellular coverage, with internal data-rates of over 10 Tbps

Multiple high-performance custom electronics developments for Defence and Security applications

Next-generation Explosive Ordnance Disposal for the British Army

Every project we do is different – we are always innovating rather than iterating, so each new project will be a brand-new challenge.

You will also have access to our extensive in-house facilities. Should you attend a face-to-face interview, we’ll provide a tour of our labs which support hardware development engineering during your visit.  These include: 

Prototype PCB manufacturing facilities, including SMT pick-and-place, vapour-phase reflow and x-ray inspection

EMC emissions test facility

What can you bring?

We are looking for someone with prior commercial work experience, but beyond that we can tailor the exact offer based on the amount of experience and capability demonstrated through our interview process.

This is a client-facing role, so you will need to demonstrate great communications skills and a genuine passion for engineering!

The essential technical requirements are:

Strong academic background with an electronics-related undergraduate degree

Solid understanding of the fundamentals of electronic circuit design

Ability to find and down-select high-performance devices, such as application processors, FPGAs and SoCs to fulfil system requirements such as data throughput and power consumption

Familiarity with embedded interconnects such as DDR4, QSPI, PCIe, JESD204

Experience of low-noise DC switched-mode power-supply (SMPS) design

Design-for, test and debugging of EMC

Experience of schematic entry and layout using electronic computer-aided design (ECAD) tools such as Altium Designer

Basic understanding of Linux, Python and HDL for the purposes of board bring-up and debug

Due to the nature of some of our key projects, you must be eligible for UK security clearance to be considered for this role.
