If you enjoy working with a great team of engineers who design products that enhance the drive-ability of electric vehicles, we may have the job for you!
Curtis Instruments UK, Ltd is currently recruiting for a Senior Electronics Hardware Engineer for its UK Engineering Center (UKEC), located in the North East of England.
The Senior Hardware Electronics Engineer Independently designs, prototypes, tests, troubleshoots and repairs power electronic systems and assemblies (specifically ‘static power conversion’ but not exclusively).
You will define methods, operations and sequences for qualification testing of components, assemblies and products. You will provide engineering support of a product development team. And, follow product development cycle (V-model) including requirements capture and verification to requirements. In addition you will establish and document engineering procedures.
In addition, your responsibilities will include:
-
Analyse and understand customer and regulatory requirements.
-
Carry out feasibility studies to determine most suitable topologies to meet requirements.
-
Design and debug power electronic circuits, components and PCB assemblies for new product development and sustaining projects.
-
Design, prototype and test the custom electromagnetic components.
-
Design, test and optimize control loop stability
-
Design, setup and run tests to ensure the design meets specifications.
-
Develop and apply new techniques, circuits and tests for product design.
-
Maintain records and documentation on all designs, tests and analysis.
-
Apply current techniques and tools to improve cost, design time, reliability, durability, and manufacturability.
-
Work within a design team to complete assigned objectives.
-
Troubleshoot circuits from prototypes, development, and customer returns.
-
Participate in the preparation of development specifications
You will also:
-
Assist other departments in the resolution of design related problems that arise during any phase of development or production.
-
Mentor other hardware engineers.
-
Assist with UKEC growth, input to infrastructure and new processes (Power Supply Team, ISO26262 etc.)
-
cuits from prototypes, development, and customer returns
We are interested in hearing from you if you possess the following:
-
Bachelors degree or equivalent, plus 7 years experience in power electronics design, preferably static power conversion (i.e. DC:DC,AC:DC).
-
Experience with design of electromagnetic components (high frequency transformers, filter chokes).
-
Experience of product safety requirements.
-
Demonstrated ability to develop designs to meet project costs, performance and schedules.
-
Demonstrated knowledge of good engineering practices.
-
Demonstrated knowledge of ESD principles and practices.
-
Demonstrated knowledge of PCB layout and schematic capture tools.
-
Demonstrated knowledge of circuit analysis, simulation and design of experiments.
-
Excellent interpersonal skills, including mentoring capabilities.
-
Effective verbal and written communication skills.
If this sounds like you, we look forward to hearing from you!
