Job description

Are you a driven and proficient Embedded Digital Design Engineer looking for an exceptional opportunity to showcase your problem-solving abilities and contribute to world-class engineering projects?

As an Embedded Digital Design Engineer, you'll have the opportunity to work on innovative projects with our advanced technology. With involvement at all phases of the development cycle, you'll ultimately see the overall embedded system come to life!

Job Title: Embedded Digital Design Engineer

Salary: Circa £40,000-£60,000 depending on experience

Location: Stevenage (We may be able to offer a relocation package for this role)

Dynamic (hybrid) working: Where possible, we will seek to accommodate a blended approach to on-site and remote working.

Security Clearance: British Citizen or a Dual UK national with British citizenship. Restrictions and/or limitations relating to nationality and/or rights to work may apply. As a minimum and after the offer stage, all successful candidates will need to undergo HMG Basic Personnel Security Standard checks (BPSS), which are managed by the MBDA Personnel Security Team.

The opportunity:

This is an exciting opportunity for an Embedded Digital Design Engineer to be involved in the development of our growing portfolio of complex embedded digital systems. The portfolio ranges from advanced DSP systems (e.g. Image Processing, Software Defined Radios), complex SoC systems, through to safety and security critical systems; using the latest embedded devices from all the major vendors (e.g. Xilinx, Intel, Texas Instruments, Analogue devices etc).

There is great opportunity to be involved at all phases of the development cycle from initial embedded design (e.g. partitioning functions between Software and FPGA domains), through the design implementation phases, and finally to the on-target integration and test; ultimately seeing the overall embedded system come to life!

The role is multi-disciplinary so you will have the opportunity to develop a variety of skills ranging from, but not limited to, Embedded-System design, Software design, FPGA design, and Hardware design, depending where you want to focus your technical development. The role can also offer technical and team lead opportunities, giving you the options to grow your career in a variety of both technical and leadership directions.

What we're looking for from you:

• Background in either Digital Hardware Design, FPGA Design (firmware), or Embedded Software Design.
• Embedded digital design and modelling skills (e.g. partitioning of functional elements between software and FPGA, and modelling/analyzing key performance aspects of the resulting design).
• Integration and test of embedded systems onto hardware platforms.

Engineering is at the heart of our business; and this role will give you an opportunity to both develop your core technical and leadership skills and gain a wider experience of complex systems. You will be working alongside a multidiscipline engineering team, and you will be a key part of a supportive and growing team as your career expands with us. The business is committed to upskilling people through both formal training and practical experience. It is a fantastic role, in which you can develop both personally and professionally.
