Job Description

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.
