Job Description
TheSenior / PrincipalDigital hardware engineer would be responsible for design, commissioning and test of high-speed digitalelectronicshardware, i.e. Printed Circuit Assemblies (PCAs) on complex systems for airborne Radar products.The successful candidate may be required to supervise other less experienced digital hardware engineers working on the same project.The role will be based at our customers site in Edinburgh and may allow for hybrid working after an initial period of familiarisation onsite.Job Responsibilities:Creatinghigh-quality and robust digitalelectronicsdesignsDocumenting and recording deliverablesSupporting integration &verificationactivities at hardware and system levelKeeping designs under configuration controlProviding progress reportsWork ExperienceSkills, Qualifications and Experience required:EssentialDegree or equivalent inElectronicsEngineering or other STEM-based subjectAt least 5 years experience of designing high-speed digitalelectronicsusing the latest FPGA and/ or microprocessor devices and high-speed interconnect technologyProficient inschematic captureusing Mentor Graphics (Siemens EDA) DxDesigner or similar toolsExperience of high-speed serial communication interfaces/ protocols(e.g. PCIe,Ethernet/ IEEE802.3, SPI, I 2 C, etc.) and high-speed bus architectures (e.g.
