Senior Electronics Engineer
Reading - Hybrid Working
Thales Optronics designs a range of state-of-the-art solutions for some of the most technically advanced defence and security platforms in the world, and we are seeking talented engineers who can apply their knowledge and skills in an electronics role.
Due to continuing growth in our development activities associated with our Optronics Product Lines, we are recruiting for a Senior Electronics Engineer. This will be a key role within several of our programmes, and we are ideally looking for the successful individual to have a firm understanding of engineering development within a regulated environment.
Overview
This role covers all aspects of the product lifecycle, from requirements through specification, concept studies, design and development, integration, validation, and qualification. This is a great opportunity for an experienced electronics engineer to build technical skills, widen their systems understanding, and develop their career.
Key responsibilities of the role
* Undertake design of complex electronic circuit assemblies or architectures, from concept through to system integration & qualification
* Lead discussions with a multi-disciplinary team (systems, mechanical, software, safety, etc.) to develop an optimum solution
* Work collaboratively with the project team to ensure products meet all their requirements and comply with regulatory safety and environmental standards
* Contribute to the development of the wider electronics team, including mentoring junior members of staff, overseeing the implementation of improvements, and reviewing the work of peers
* Generate electronics specifications, architectures, and development or verification plans
* Support the bid process through generation of estimates and consultancy on electronic solutions
* Present robust engineering solutions at design reviews
* Monitor progress of work against cost, schedule, and performance
Experience and skill we are ideally looking for
* Experience of electronic design throughout the design lifecycle
* Previous use of schematic capture packages (Cadence, Mentor Graphics, or similar)
* Development of electronic products in a formal/regulated environment; experience in the Aerospace/Defence sectors is not required
* Experience testing at circuit board and system level (e.g., board bring-up and debug, EMC testing)
* Preparation of sub-system requirements/procurement specifications
* General understanding of engineering process and design lifecycles
