ABOUT THE ROLE

You will be part of a design team working on our next generation of sonar instrumentation

MAIN RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Develop and enhance electronic SONAR products in line with target product specifications
• Creation of Schematics & multi-layer PCB designs, verified by electronic modelling / simulation and testing
• Testing, defect failure analysis / root cause analysis and repair of existing systems
• Conducting design reviews at key stages of design & development and test
• Collaborating as part of the team, submitting designs for review and providing peer review input to other engineers’ designs
• Producing and maintaining product documentation, including detailed BoMs, Gerbers, validating fabrication & engineering drawings, writing production assembly guides, test procedures and user manuals
• Performing new product evaluations and reviews including acoustic measurements to ensure that product meets or exceeds their specification
• Providing technical product support to staff and worldwide customers on site or remotely. This may require occasional travel within UK and overseas to support them
• Working with 3rd parties during design, prototyping and manufacturing
