• Takes ownership and responsibility for delivering all associated aspects of the project to agreed timescales.
• Identification of project risk and implementation of mitigation or contingency activity as appropriate.
• Interfacing with customers, internal and external. As the product expert, you will be expected to provide technical support and guidance where required.
• Demonstrate suitability of proposed design solutions through the use of appropriate engineering tools and practices eg Design Failure Mode Analysis of electronic designs.
• Define and conduct product testing as appropriate.
• Creation and maintenance of the project design dossier.
• Ensure that the acquisition, development and implementation of design complies with appropriate standards and methodologies.
• Ensure compliance to applicable test standards i.e. EMC, ESD, Transients etc

Your Expertise:

• BEng or BSc in Electronic Engineering or equivalent related experience. Candidates with HND or HNC with experience of electro-mechanical design are also invited to apply for the position.
• Highly experinced working within an electro-mechanical design environment.
• Capable of producing electronic designs using CAD tools; preferred design packages being Altium or Proteus
• Knowledge of electronic engineering and the selection and application of complex integrated circuits, hall-effect sensing technologies and inductive and optoelectronic systems.
• Experience of electronics design using embedded solutions (PIC, AVR, STM32 etc)
• Computer literacy with experience in the use of the Microsoft Office suite of products.
• Good verbal, written and diagrammatic communication
• Full UK driving license.

Desirable:

• Experience with PWM and CAN Bus electronics systems related to off-road vehicles.
• Experience of LabView software.
• Advanced practical abilities in areas of PCB prototyping, SMD assembly and rework etc..
• Ability to use Six Sigma development tools and analyse product performance.
• Familiarity with the requirements of the off-highway vehicle market eg PPAP etc..
• Familiarity with the requirements of EN13849-1 PLD Machinery Directive or SIL2.
• A sound understanding of DFM/DFA techniques.
• Experience in the use of root cause analysis tools eg. 8D.
