Salary: £50,000 – £60,000
A leading engineering organisation is seeking an Electronics Design Authority to lead the technical development, certification and in-service support of a complex, safety-critical electronics subsystem. Acting as the design authority, you'll own the functional and physical design structure and ensure every aspect of the product can be verified, validated and accepted into the wider system capability.
This is a broad, high-engagement role spanning system design, software engineering, electronics and mechanical engineering, in-service reliability, safety and cybersecurity. You'll ensure the hardware and software design continues to evolve to meet overall system capability requirements, while developing your expertise and that of the wider team.
Key responsibilities:
* Provide design leadership for a complex electronics subsystem across its full lifecycle.
* Own the functional and physical design baseline, ensuring the product can be verified, validated and certified.
* Manage technical risks and opportunities in line with product development requirements.
* Lead requirements engineering at system, subsystem and component level to support product evolution and certification.
* Validate test procedures and gather the evidence needed to certify the product.
* Build strong relationships with product design stakeholders across multiple disciplines.
What we're looking for (experience or a desire to develop in these areas):
* Design leadership for complex electronics subsystems.
* Strong grounding in systems engineering principles, processes and practices.
* Requirements engineering at system, subsystem or component level.
* Broad knowledge of hardware and software design and build for computer-based electronics equipment.
* Ability to define and validate verification and certification test procedures.
* Strong stakeholder management and communication skills
