Electronic Hardware Engineer

We are looking for a Satellite Electronic Hardware Engineer to join a multi-disciplinary team with access to experts in all disciplines, and be responsible for developing some of the highest performing digital communication payload equipment available anywhere in the world as part of the rapidly expanding UK space sector.

Reporting directly to the RF Product Implementation Team Lead you will have the opportunity to get involved in all phases of hardware design and development, but with a focus on hardware bring-up and supporting our Portsmouth based production facility.

The Communication Products group is responsible for the development of Digital Processors and RF equipment for use in telecommunication Satellites. The processor functionality ranges from high capacity channelisers, supporting inter-satellite optical data links, to implementing cryptographic algorithms to protect the spacecraft.

The Engineering team are developing world-leading digital signal processors and cryptographic equipment for modern communications satellites. Our products fly in a range of missions from Low Earth Orbit satellite constellations to space observatories beyond Earth orbit. We are currently expanding to meet increasing demand for more advanced technologies both on national programmes and for customers globally.

HOW YOU WILL CONTRIBUTE TO THE TEAM

• Support design and validation of interfaces , considering switching speeds, pulses, rise and fall times, feedback and interference, impedance of devices, signal transmission.


• Support production activities of flight grade equipment through test and verification phases


• Support product assurance, being a proactive member of the team looking into quality issues, non-conformances, and investigations.


• Define performance criteria and define how to prove validation and verification of performance with test strategy.


• Understand circuit diagrams, iterating design where necessary due to circuit analysis outputs and PCB layout constraints.
  
  Ability to provide sufficient detailed data and information about system elements to enable consistent hardware implementation in accordance with the allocated requirements.


• Ability to master the design and analysis of RF & digital electronic circuits using the latest digital design tools, including the design of printed circuit boards, logic circuits, schematic capture, signal integrity, timing analysis, worst case analysis, and environmental constraints.
