To fulfil the role you will
• write and interpret specifications and requirements
• ensure adherence to requirements documentation
• support the development of, and ensure adherence to, project plans
• create electronic schematics for power electronics components (DC-DC, motor inverters, battery charging and management, etc.)
• support PCB layout
• carry out simulation for power electronics devices and understand the limitations of such simulations
• support product documentation (e.g. design notes, bills of materials, user manuals)
• understand the implications of ISO26262
• be familiar with ASIL ratings and Functional Safety
• be capable of the highest quality of communication to the Project Management team, the Engineering Manager and customers
• be comfortable working directly with customers including, from time to time, on site at their premises
• understand the importance of test, quality assurance and release processes and assure strict adherence to these at all time
• demonstrate a self-motivated approach to problem solving

Minimum educational qualifications
• Degree in Electronics Engineering or equivalent.

Previous Experience
• you will have a minimum of five years working within a similar field of embedded electronics design or application
• you will have coached one or more junior engineers
• you will have good working knowledge of the challenges surrounding electrification of transport and industry

Other advantageous skills
• practical soldering skills (using a microscope) required for PCB assembly
• knowledge of the use and limitations of lab test equipment and instrumentation
• experience of MATLAB / Simulink / LabVIEW / MISRA C
• experience of working with electric vehicles
• knowledge of designing for high voltages and high currents
• experience of DFMEA
