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.
