Hybrid working - 3 days on site
Our client, a pioneer in clean aviation technology, is currently seeking a Senior Electronic Hardware Systems Engineer to join their team on a contract basis and contribute to the development and qualification of airborne electronic hardware for Hydrogen Fuel Cell Management Systems.
Must have aerospace experience - airborne hardware, DO254. Somebody comfortable with the full design lifecycle from requirements writing through to delivery, familiar with DOA processes.
Key Responsibilities
* Architect and integrate reliable monitoring and mixed‑signal electronics, including the elicitation of requirements and the generation of new derived requirements to support system‑level functionality and safety objectives.
* Collaborate with external suppliers on the detailed design and manufacturing of electronic hardware, ensuring appropriate component selection, generation of the required configuration‑control documentation and traceability, and adherence to design standards.
* Collaborate with Fuel Cell Systems, Mechanical, Software teams and other stakeholders to support the integration of hardware electronic circuit card designs.
* Own the design throughout the development cycle. Produce the required documentation for reviews, address findings, and perform follow‑up activities with internal and external stakeholders.
* Support compliance with DO‑254 Plan objectives and activities for simple and complex electronic hardware, including documentation, traceability, verification, and validation processes.
* Produce and review design documentation to ensure traceability, compliance, and configuration control, in alignment with design processes and procedures.
* Maintain, review, and drive continuous improvement of engineering and design standards to ensure alignment with evolving aerospace best practices.
Job Requirements
* Strong understanding of mixed signal circuit design and monitoring circuits.
* Strong understanding of electrical safety (creepage and clearance, insulation requirements, etc.).
* Skills in designing and implementing data acquisition systems.
* Experience with modelling electronic circuits using SPICE‑based simulation tools.
* Proven experience in integrating electronics hardware with microcontrollers and digital signal processing.
* Understanding of qualification and environmental requirements (EMC testing, etc.).
* Bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or an equivalent professional experience in hardware electronics design.
* Experience in airborne hardware electronics development.
Desired Attributes
* Master's degree in Electronics/Electrical Engineering.
* Experience in fuel cell or battery management systems.
* Knowledge of physical implementation RS485, Ethernet and CAN communication interfaces.
* Experience working in a Design Organisation Approval (DOA).
* Familiarity with certification processes for aerospace systems and equipment under CS‑25/CS‑23, DO‑254, and AMC 20‑152A.
* Experience with IEC 60664, DO‑160 or MIL‑STD‑810.
* Experience in modelling electronics using LTSpice, and/or Simetrix.
