Job description

Varied electronics projects in communications, IoT and telecoms

Cambridge City; GBPCompetitive + Benefits

Based in their offices and facilities in Cambridge, this engineering team work with partner companies to provide technical expertise and resources to develop solutions within communications-based electronics. Their innovations can be found in scientific instrumentation, satellite phone sets, voice detection systems and communications within robotics. They have repeatedly proven themselves with technologies used in both cellular and private networks, and look to deliver next-generation products.

The team are looking to recruit a senior level engineer to provide additional expertise and resources for on-going and future projects. Key aspects will include FPGA and ASIC development as well as high-performance board level electronics design. This will encompass a full range of digital electronics including PCB and FPGA design. Further, due to the complexities involved in their products, it is not uncommon that their electronics utilises signal processing, AI, RF and software components. This is very much a hands-on role, but there are opportunities for project technical leadership if you want this.

Requirements:

• You will have a degree in electronics or physics and possibly a relevant PhD (preferred).
• Your project experience will include substantial work around FPGA and ASIC design including verification using Verilog.
• Your general digital design experience with electronics should include the use of Altium (PCB design) and HyperLynx (signal integrity analyses) or similar.
• Additional experience with radio frequency systems, DSP, embedded software and / or requirements management using DOORS would be beneficial. Further experience with C++, VHDL, Python and Tcl would be desirable.

Due to the nature of projects, the role is mostly onsite, although occasional home working is possible when projects allow. In return, on offer is a competitive remunerations package including career support and opportunities for leadership.
