Skills:

• Experience in printed circuit board design, including schematic capture, component selection, layout, and design verification.
• Experience contributing to electrical and electronic hardware designs, from requirements through to integration and verification.
• Experience of working within controlled product-development processes in a highly regulated environment would be beneficial, including design reviews, risk management, configuration control and verification evidence.
• Direct hands-on experience of bringing up and debugging new electrical and electronic designs, using structured fault-finding methods and appropriate laboratory equipment.
• Familiar with industry-standard electronic design automation CAD tools, such as Altium, Cadence, or OrCAD, including schematic capture, printed circuit board layout and design library control.
• Familiar with theory and operation of various power supply topologies, microcontrollers, and analog and digital concepts, and their application in integrated electro-mechanical products.
• Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, or HNC/HND with relevant industry experience.
