* Implement hardware architecture in physical and electrical form, fit, and function.
* Support manufacturing and procurement during build phases by responding to Problem Reports and implementing Engineering Change Requests.
* Define Hardware Test Specifications and Design Proving methods for qualification.
* Define and apply EMC and Environmental Test Specifications.
* Design and develop specialist test equipment when required.
* Attend and manage off-site qualification testing (e.g., EMC, environmental).
* Demonstrate compliance using IADT techniques and provide V&V evidence in requirements tools (e.g., DOORS).
* Produce Test Reports, Certificates, and maintain technical compliance documentation.
* Provide specialist knowledge on CE/UKCA marking, LV Directive, EMC & environmental certification, and RoHS/REACH.
* Provide ad-hoc support for integration, installation, acceptance, and trials.
Qualifications
* Degree in Electronic/Electrical Engineering (or equivalent).
* Proven experience in electrical/electronic design, integration, and testing in a regulated industry.
* Ability to gain Security Clearance
Essential skills
* Strong grounding in Electronic & Electrical Engineering.
* COTS AC and DC LV power supplies.
* Designing with PCI, RS485/232, Hotlink, and Ethernet interfaces.

* Familiarity with engineering development lifecycles, technical and gate reviews.
* Strong understanding of EU Directives (CE, UKCA, LV, RoHS, REACH).
* Competence with Microsoft Office.
Desired skills
* PLM tools.
* DOORS requirements management.
* JIRA task management.
* LabView or equivalent testing products.
Experience
* Strong relevant experience of the Skills listed above or associated experience that can be applied to electronic, electrical and electro-mechanical design in a regulated industry.
* Design and specification of COTS and bespoke sub-assemblies and equipment suitable for 19' racks / cabinets
* Interconnection Design (i.e. wiring harnesses, copper (electrical) / fibre (optical) network interconnections, connector types, power distribution and data comms, spacial constraints, environmental considerations).
* Integration of COTS and bespoke equipment sub-assemblies into 19' racks and cabinets.
* Working with mechanical engineers to realise electrical designs in 3D mechanical space.
* Full engineering lifecycle experience (Capture, Design, Implementation, Test).
* Experience of producing electrical designs and certifying designs to comply with the LV Directive.
* Experience of selecting and designing products and materials compliant with RoHS and REACH Directives.
* Experience of producing Technical Files and certification to meet CE / UKCA marking requirements.
* Working with requirements in a structured and evidential manner.
* Production of Design / Test Specifications and Test Reports.
* Knowledge of EU Directives.
* Understanding of Naval platforms, standards and equipment practices.
* IEC 60297 (Mechanical structures for electronic equipment in harsh environments).
