Job description

Stirling Dynamics is recruiting DO-254 System / Hardware / Electronics Engineers to join the Software & Electronics Hardware team. This is a fantastic opportunity by leading key electrical/electronics product development work packages and sub teams as part of the wider Software & Electronics team and help drive Stirling's product development strategy.

Stirling Dynamics develops Electro-mechanical and mechatronic systems and electronic hardware for the aerospace and training and simulation markets. Due to company growth, we are looking for an enthusiastic candidate that has experience in electronic system architecture design and skill sets covering development and verification activities.

The primary focus of the role will be to support the design and development of our electric controller products for Training and Simulation and Aerospace markets. This is a fantastic opportunity to expand your career by leading an electrical/electronics product development team on one of our high-profile customer projects.

Stirling have developed our cutting-edge internal processes for DO-254 development harnessing Model Based Design practices and toolsets such as Polarion, Matlab, Simulink, Speedgoat, Labview and Altium 365. If you have experience any of these areas, we would love to hear from you.

This role will be predominantly based in the Stirling Dynamics Bristol office with occasional travel to our clients’ sites as required.

Due to security restrictions on the projects, we can only consider UK nationals for this role.

Responsibilities

• Provide technical and team leadership to deliver an electronic development project through to certification
• Planning, allocation and oversight of technical work packages to meet deliverables within the project schedule
• Work in conjunction with the project manager and other technical disciplines (systems, safety, mech, simulation etc.)
• Provide technical and engineering know-how to deliver DO-254 projects through to certification
• Plan, design, specify, verify and validate electronic controllers for electromechanical aerospace systems

Qualifications

Engineering Degree - ideally with an electronics bias, or relevant experience

Essential Skills

• Professional attitude
• Good communicator – both written and verbal
• Flexible, can-do approach
• Enjoys working in a team and collaborating
• Ability to multi-task and manage multiple simultaneous requirements
• Pragmatic and systematic by nature
• Self-motivated to see tasks through to successful completion

Experience

The ideal candidate should have experience of Aerospace product development on DO-254 projects, operating at either a Senior or Principal Engineer level. They should have experience with the following:

• Deriving and specifying hardware requirements
• System electronics architecture design and specification of both simple and complex electronics
• Power electronics and motor drive design
• DO-254 planning and development phases including SOI audits
• Applied knowledge of DO-160
• Comms interface electronics
• Electromechanical Position Sensors – LVDT, RVDT and encoders
• FPGA based systems

Benefits

• Competitive Package (Grade 5 - 7, £60,000 - £72,500 dependent on experience).
• We offer a range of benefits to our employees to recognise their efforts. Playing hard is equally as important as working hard, so regular events are held throughout the year which provide an ideal opportunity to mix socially
