Power System Design Lead

Power System Design Lead Initial 12 Month Contract 3 days per week on site Cowes £81.05 Per Hour (Umbrella Rate - Inside IR35)

The Role Antenna Sub-system internal/external interfaces design and capture. These are all captured in the system IDD and include control signals, high speed data links, RF calibration signals etc. Digital Sub-system hardware definition. Responsible for the specification and design of all the digital components within the radar system. This can be for either in-house designed units or COTS hardware. TRM Digital Signal Processing - taking a concept and turning it into reality.

Including proving the concept through modelling and simulation followed by generating requirements suitable for implementation. Radar System Timing generation - Generating timing a rule sets for the software scheduling and hardware real time interface to achieve the required system performance. System Calibration - conceptualise Radar system calibration solutions System BITE - ensuring a common reporting standard that can be used in all systems moving forward.

Making sure we have sufficient BITE coverage across the antenna sub-systems. System Design Assurance - ensuring there is enough built in functionality to support design assurance. Also contributing to the generation of the system design assurance specification. The Candidate A degree in Electronic Engineering or strongly related subject. A solid understanding of radar operation, in particular Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) radars.

A solid understanding of the digital techniques design process including requirements generation, design and implementation. Knowledge of complex digital PCB design. Knowledge of digital devices in particular FPGAs. An understanding of all electronic disciplines (digital, analogue, RF and electrical) Enough knowledge to be able to specify against these technologies and communicate with specialists in these areas. Experience in the whole design process from requirements to design assurance and sign off.

Experience in sub-system and system integration and test. Experience in radar system data analysis. Trials experience, at base or in territory. If this role is of interest, please send a copy of your CV to Tom McGuire by clicking the 'Apply Now' button.
