Job Title: Associate Electronics PCB Design Engineer Ref. 956

Salary awarded is based on skills assessment at interview.

This role is available full-time for 37 hours per week, Monday-Friday, or part-time with a minimum coverage of 28 hours per week. Flexible or compressed working hours available.

This role is office based.

Can you design, build, and test electronic circuits and printed circuit boards?

Keen to build your skills and develop your career in engineering?

You’ll join a product development team working on hardware products and solutions to protect national security. You may not know all the details yet, but you soon will.

You’ll use your technical knowledge and ideas to create and maintain electronic hardware for custom-designed national security products to meet the needs of partners at home and overseas.

No two days will be the same; one day you could be modifying an existing design to introduce a new requirement, the next collaborating with a multidisciplinary team on designing the next set of products and systems.

You’ll receive training and support to develop in this role, as well as a training budget for external courses. You’ll also be able to dedicate a portion of your time to innovation and research.

• Further qualifications in electrical/electronic or mechanical engineering, equivalent to/or a 2:2 or greater relevant degree.
• Experience in electronic schematic capture and PCB design.
• Experience of RF design, EMC, and signal integrity.
• A good understanding of PCB manufacturing processes.

Your Personal Skills

You will be the type of person who:

• Is keen to learn and improve both technical and non-technical skills.
• Is enthused by working with other engineers, combining your collective knowledge to produce better results.
• Likes seeing things through to the end, with the drive and commitment to finish projects to a high standard.
• Enjoys the challenge of thinking of innovative solutions to hard problems.
• Can manage your own workload and adapt to changing demands on your time.
• Puts plans in place to make improvements.
• Works with partners to clearly understand their desired outcomes and expectations.

Putting your skills to use

You’ll be involved in the full product development process, creating a wide range of designs and systems while working with various partners and design engineers. You can be creative, working in your own way towards delivery, with a willingness to learn and a determination to succeed.

Using your diverse skills, you will:

• Design, develop, and document electronic PCB systems to high standards.
• Verify designs through creating and implementing verification tests and peer reviews.
• Support products and investigate reported defects.
• Contribute to library parts creation and management.
• Contribute to project planning and meetings.
