The role
You will own the electronic design of our seeker hardware: the sensor front end, the processing carrier and the interfaces that connect them to an airframe. This is a small team, so the work runs from schematic to bring-up to test to the version that goes into production.
This role is on-site in London. You must have the right to work in the United Kingdom.
What you will do
- Design and bring up mixed-signal PCBs for an electro-optical sensor front end and its embedded processing.
- Specify and evaluate sensors, optics interfaces, power stages and connectors against size, weight, power and cost constraints.
- Take designs from schematic capture and layout through prototype build, bring-up, debug and environmental test.
- Define the mechanical and electrical interface between our hardware and customer airframes.
- Work with UK suppliers and manufacturers to make designs producible at volume, and own the resulting documentation.
What we are looking for
- A degree in electronic engineering, or equivalent capability demonstrated in industry.
- Practical experience taking hardware from schematic through layout to working prototype, and evidence you have debugged your own designs on the bench.
- Comfort with the instruments: oscilloscope, spectrum analyser, thermal chamber.
- Experience designing to genuine SWaP and cost constraints rather than to a specification with room in it.
- Ability to work with incomplete information and decide anyway.
Useful, not essential
- Experience in defence, aerospace or another regulated, safety-relevant industry.
- Familiarity with electro-optical sensors, imaging pipelines or FPGA and SoC carrier design.
- Exposure to environmental qualification, or to design for manufacture at rate.
