Stop the press I am looking for a Junior Electronic Design Engineer to join my client who develops and manufactures a wide range of camera products, including a range of x-ray cameras. The Junior Electronic Design Engineer is required to work in a small team designing professional digital cameras and imaging systems for scientific and surveillance markets, based in East Sussex.
The role involves:
1. Designing hardware and FPGA firmware to meet functional and performance specifications
2. Produce PCB drawings and designs for use in PCB Manufacturing and production
3. Ensure compatibility between mechanical, electronic and software design is achieved.
4. Write code for embedded firmware (VHDL/schematic, and C)
5. Building and debugging prototypes
6. Adding firmware features to existing FPGA designs
7. Working with colleagues to ensure the final product meets functional, performance, quality and timescale requirements
8. Supporting the manufacturing facility in resolving design-related production problems
9. Supporting the test process and create test electronics when necessary
Specific skills required include:
10. Degree/HNC/HND (or equivalent) in electrical/electronic/engineering discipline or
11. Or Equivalent significant Industrial experience in the above
12. FPGA firmware design (preferably Altera, VHDL)
13. Coding in C for embedded hard and soft microprocessors
14. Ability to understand device data sheets (typically image sensors and complex ICs) and design hardware and firmware to use them
15. Hardware circuit design, schematic capture and PCB layout (preferably Altium Designer)
16. The ability to fault-find electronic assemblies
17. Flexibility and adaptability
18. Ability to learn
19. Initiative, resourcefulness, and practicality
20. A hands-on, problem-solving attitude
21. In conjunction with colleagues, the ability to take a product through from initial concept to delivery to customer
22. Supporting the sales team through pre- and aftersales support
