Contract Electronics Design Engineer – analogue / PSU Paignton, Devon 6 months initially Rate – open (typically £65-75ph ltd) Outside of IR35 An experienced contract electronics design engineer is needed to support a start-up involved with the research, development and design of optics / photonic technologies. Their technologies radically improve network speed and energy efficiency. This contract electronics design engineer project involves: Designing and developing custom low noise, small footprint step-up power converters and analogue circuitry. Delivering robust, high-performance hardware designs that meet stringent signal integrity and power efficiency requirements. Requires the following experience: Experience with the design of low noise, small footprint power electronic devices (the product requires several internal power converters (±6V) driven by one external power supply (3.3V) with varying currents up to 4-5A.) Full analogue / power electronics design capability (design, simulation, board design and bring up, supplier engagement, assembly, integration & test) Good schematic capture and ideally PCB layout skills (tools such as OrCAD, Altium, etc) would be desirable The ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, evolving, start-up organisation Beneficial knowledge: Experience of developing DAC/ADC peripherals utilising QSPI, DSPI, and SPI interfaces would be great. Knowledge of highspeed network interface and optical transceiver systems would be preferable You will need a strong analogue / power electronics product development background. Experience with highspeed network interface or optical transceiver design would be a plus.
