Jobbeschreibung

Introduction

The primary purpose of the Electronic Engineer is to design and integrate electronic hardware for the systems under development. Our company’s focus is mainly on electro-optical systems for the civilian and security industry, but may also be suitable for limited defence applications. This wide range of application implies special requirements and considerations when designing and verifying electronic hardware. The Electronic Engineer will work in a team with System Engineers, Project Managers, the Chief Electronic Engineer, and other Engineers and Technicians in the process of product development.

Duties & Responsibilities

The responsibilities of the Electronics Engineer will include:

1. Concept electronic designs to meet the system requirements provided by the Systems Engineer
2. Detailed electronic hardware designs based on the chosen concept design
3. Oversee and review PCB designs
4. Internal and external interface designs
5. Design for Electro-magnetic compatibility
6. Simulation and analysis in support of the design process
7. Ability to develop and/or understand firmware and software for optical systems is an advantage
8. Creation of documentation (e.g. requirement specifications, design description and verification documents, version descriptions) as outputs of the various stages of the hardware design, development, and review process
9. Perform FAIT (Fabrication, Assembly, Integration and Testing) for electronic components/sub-systems
10. Perform verification, validation and qualification testing of the electronic components/subsystems

Suitable Character

The following traits are desired for this role:

1. The ability to apply a deep technical knowledge through independent judgement and decision making
2. Self-motivated and proactive, with the drive necessary to bring product development projects to a successful conclusion

4. Willing to consult the opinion of others and negotiate consensus where necessary
5. Exhibits an enthusiastic, confident and positive attitude to their work
6. Maintains a polite, respectful and professional demeanour at all times
7. Is prepared to ensure project success in any reasonable way

Desired Experience & Qualification

Bachelor's or higher Electronic Engineering Degree is essential.

Required Experience

• 5-10 years of Electronic Engineering experience in a military product development environment is essential
• 3-5 years’ experience in Electronic Hardware Design in an Opto-Electronic development environment (e.g. DTV cameras or Infrared cameras) is essential
• Working knowledge of current printed circuit board and component technologies, as well as related CAD tools (e.g. Altium Designer, Cadence) is desired including FPGA and ASIC devices, fiber optics cables, wiring types, electrical connectors is essential
• Working knowledge of computing system design (FPGA, memory and supporting circuitry) is essential
• Familiarity with the typical electronic hardware development process and documentation artifacts is essential
• Familiarity with military and/or industry hardware specifications
• Experience working with embedded software and firmware
• Working knowledge of typical electronic system ancillary components such as cables and connectors and heat sinks is essential
• Working knowledge of electronic engineering test equipment and measurement techniques is essential
• Familiarity with environmental and EMI testing and qualification

Package & Remuneration

Highly negotiable from 5 years - 15+ years experience: R60,000.00 - R1,200,000.00 per month.
