Electronics Engineer – Radiation Effects
Bristol (onsite role) – 6 month contract – Pay rate 60 p/h Umbrella or 46.15 p/h PAYE basic (52.86 including holiday pay)
The Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and Radiation Effects (RE) department is like no other within the business. It is split between a test team working hands on in our state of the art EMC Facility to simulate environments and a highly skilled project consultancy team that is embedded across all projects to ensure good EMC and RE practice & design.
The Radiation Effects side of the department within THE BUSINESS UK require highly skilled electronic engineers the engineers will work on the analysis and review of electronic circuits within the unit analysis team and/or Design of Test solutions within the H/W team.
Responsibilities:
The objective of the unit analysis team is to determine the performance degradation and behaviour of given circuits after exposure to the specified prompt dose radiation and the objective of the H/W team is to design and build the test solutions. It is not expected that the engineer will understand the effects of radiation on electronic circuits, as this is specialist knowledge and will be taught in-situ by the experienced unit analysis team. However, the engineer should have in-depth Electronic circuit design knowledge, which will allow them to reverse engineer electronic schematics to fully understand the design operation and failure modes across a wide range of equipment types.
The engineer will also be responsible for providing independent review of supplier unit analysis.
Requirements:
To work within the Unit analysis team, the engineer should be able to design and analyse circuits down to first principles to understand the circuit behaviour and failure modes – e.g calculating the gain of an amplifier, being able to express the transfer function of a transistor to input/output bias currents, calculate RC time constants etc. Experience with analogue circuit design or power supply experience would be a plus. To work within the H/W team it is expected that the engineer should have substantial analogue and digital circuit design experience and preferably experience in PCB layout/prototyping.
- Significant post qualification experience in Electronic Design, development and delivery.
- Someone who can demonstrate the capability to lead significant Electronic design work packages and has background of working within a multi-disciplinary team with the awareness and understanding of the challenges that this may bring.
- Excellent problem solving skills and knowledge of a wide range of electronic technologies and products.
- Strong communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to influence and negotiate with stakeholders across the business.
- Defence industry is preferable (Open to industry though)
- Proven ability in Electronic Design, development and delivery.
Additional information:
Please note, due to the sensitive nature of the projects involved, all candidates must be capable of gaining a UK MOD Security Clearance to SC level. If you are not currently SC cleared the client will sponsor a new application and you can start while this is pending.
This role shall operate inside IR35.
