About the role

Our hardware engineering team is focused on simulating, designing and developing electronic circuits for advanced navigation technologies utilising analogue, digital, RF and optoelectrical circuit design. This role contributes throughout the entire design phase from prototype to development, and through manufacturing, for complex multidisciplinary products. You will be joining a diverse team of skilled electronic, mechatronic and photonics engineers to develop high-performance mixed signal hardware for our portfolio of products.

What you'll do

• Design analogue signal chain processing circuits (filters, amplifiers, etc.), digital signal circuits including high-speed interfaces
• Develop mixed signal processing chains (ie A-D and D-A)
• Create PCB schematic designs and layouts using Altium Designer
• Simulate and optimise circuits in LTSpice
• Collaborate with embedded software team to ensure hardware designs meet software requirements
• Identify a clear scope of work, and communicate progress through consistent updates to leadership and fellow team members while working to find and mitigate risks
• Design and modify basic 3D CAD models for fit, function and manufacturability
• Document your design work, such as: specifications, compliance matrices, design calculations, analysis reports, drawings, test plans, test reports and BOMs
• Instigating and leading design reviews, test readiness reviews and production readiness reviews
• Documenting all engineering designs, tests and investigation work (Confluence) to a high standard as part of the peer review process
• Peer review others work to ensure cross checking is performed and documented
• Design for Manufacturing and Assembly using sound engineering methodologies
• Working with the manufacturing and support teams to deliver and maintain hardware equipment and systems
• Developing assembly, repair and test techniques, sourcing of alternates to obsolete parts and materials, and testing as per appropriate engineering specifications

Qualifications, skills and experience

• Bachelor degree or higher in electrical/electronic engineering and/or mechatronics
• Significant experience in designing and developing complex electronics with specific experience in precision analogue data acquisition, processing, and high speed digital circuits
• Proficient in using industry standard tools such as SPICE, Altium Designer
• Experience in releasing multiple high volume products to market
• A track record of turning high level discussions into detailed, personal work plans and reporting progress to management
• Proficient in using and promoting industry standard design engineering principles and practices
• A proactive self-starting approach with a track record of initiative, personal responsibility, ownership of work and reputation for making things happen
• Be highly motivated with an energetic, responsive and decisive disposition
• Strong knowledge of WHS practices
• Proven high standard of attention to detail, time management and "follow-through"
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Experience with STM32 microcontrollers and/or Xilinx SOC/FPGA and/or Microsemi FPGA products is desirable
