Hardware Engineer - Midsomer Norton, United Kingdom - SRT Marine

Description

SRT is the global leader in advanced maritime domain awareness technologies and solutions, from sophisticated national surveillance systems for coast guards to large scale fisheries monitoring, marine communications, navigation safety and efficiency. SRT products are the preferred choice of nation states and professional mariners and are trusted daily by customers across the world to solve issues such as smuggling, border sovereignty, fishing sustainability, environment protection, navigation safety and efficiency.

We are seeking a skilled and broadly experienced electronics design engineer to join the engineering team at a world leader in marine electronic navigation systems.

As our hardware platforms evolve to encompass leading edge technologies, we have a requirement for an additional electronics engineer, focused on providing additional strength in hardware and associated firmware/software development.

You will have a demonstrably strong track record in the design and development of electronic products, with a particular emphasis on embedded devices including driver and system control software. You will also demonstrate experience of mentoring more junior engineers and active participation in the development of design processes and procedures.

In addition, you should ideally have at least 8 years' experience of "full lifecycle" design of complete embedded systems in the automotive or marine electronics sectors.

Responsibilities

As a Hardware Engineer you will be responsible for:

• Detailed analogue, digital and power supply circuit design
• Evaluation testing and improvement of designs
• Development of design processes and procedures used by the hardware design team
• Collaboration with our mechanical designers in the design of mechanical enclosure solutions
• Hardware level software development for embedded systems in C or C++ (C++ preferred)
• Build of simple Windows tools for in-house test & development activities
• Participate in peer reviews providing constructive input to improve designs
• Complete required project documentation
• Collaborate with and closely integrate design work with other specialist disciplines

Broad technical knowledge is required in many or all of the following domains:

• Design of digital electronics including embedded microprocessors (e.g, ARM, STM32, PIC)
• Design of industrial control & data interfaces (RS422, CAN, USB, WiFi, ADC, DAC)
• Design of low power switch-mode power supplies
• PCB layout techniques for power supply and EMC performance
• Design for manufacture and test suitable for medium production volumes
• Design of automated production test systems with knowledge of LabVIEW highly desirable
• Enclosure design techniques and appropriate materials
• RTOS and real-time software fundamentals (task scheduling, inter-process communication, interrupt handling, etc.)
• Understanding of object orientated programming in C++ useful

Requirements:

• Self-starter with motivation to achieve demanding technical and project targets
• Excellent inter-personal and communication skills
• Strong interfacing and team-working skills
• Strong organisational and planning skills

Benefits:

• Competitive salary
