P+S Personnel are pleased to be working on behalf of our clients who are currently seeking a Digital Electronics Design Engineer to join their team based in Milton Keynes.
This role will be to support R&D Engineering in developing best in class, complex high speed digital PCB assemblies for high reliability applications. Utilising the latest FPGAs, Microprocessors and high-speed interconnects.
Main Responsibilities:
• Responsible for the creation of FPGA designs using VHDL and working within a structured FPGA design framework.
• Design digital state machine architectures and logic circuits.
• Assist manufacturing to resolve technical problems as required.
• To provide assistance to other departments in order to meet overall Company objectives
• Schematic Capture using Zuken CadStar.
• Analogue design skills using DSP, FPGA, PLO, DAC/ADC SDRAM & SPI devices.
• Performing design analysis, i.e. parts stress and worst case.
• Work in a multi-functional department supporting RF, Mechanical and Production Engineers.
• Analyse, decompose and identify work breakdown for complex technical interface requirements.
• Support software development Engineers to ensure system operation meets specification.
• Support Project Management in customer meetings and design reviews.
• To develop and maintain strong working relationships with other team members within Manufacturing, Engineering and Quality functions.
• Supervise and guide Technicians engaged in evaluation of hardware and subsystems.
• To understand and work to clearly defined goals with respect to quality, output, timescale and program costs.
• Generate and review product and project design documentation.
• Support Business development in generating customer quotes and proposals.
• To ensure that all Environmental Health and Safety / Company Policies are adhered to at all times.
• Attend departmental meetings as required.
• To provide assistance to other departments in order to meet overall Company objectives
Education / Experience:
• Minimum Degree in Electrical & Electronics Engineering, ideally specialising in FPGA/Digital Techniques.
• 5 years or more design experience
• Knowledge of RF Design techniques an advantage.
• Worked with Development Engineering and Manufacturing groups to transition product into production
• Previous experience within UK Aerospace and Defence contractors an advantage
• Will be eligible to obtain UK Secret Security Clearance / UK Security Clearance in order to undertake related work in accordance with business needs.
Key Competencies:
• Experience of the complete hardware design cycle, from requirements capture, through schematic design and constraints capture
• Knowledge of RTL in VHDL using Altera or Xilinx IDE environments.
• Experienced in high speed digital and mixed signal circuit design.
• Generation of test Benches in VHDL for validation and verification of VHDL designs using ModelSim IDE.
• Familiarity with boundary scan utilities to support JTAG testing and debug.
• Familiarity of the main DSP families & development of embedded code in C++
• Experienced in bring-up and debug of high density digital hardware including BGA and multilayer PCB.
• Working knowledge of serial interfaces such as RS485, RS422, MLVDS, etc???
• Knowledge of RADAR subsystems and beamforming an advantage.
• Commissioning of prototype designs at board and unit level.
