Contract analogue electronics design engineer

Contract Electronics Design Engineer – analogue / PSU
Paignton, Devon
6 months initially
Rate – open (typically £65-75ph ltd) Outside of IR35
An experienced contract electronics design engineer is needed to support a start-up involved with the research, development and design of optics / photonic technologies. Their technologies radically improve network speed and energy efficiency.
This contract electronics design engineer project involves:
Designing and developing custom low noise, small footprint step-up power converters and analogue circuitry. Delivering robust, high-performance hardware designs that meet stringent signal integrity and power efficiency requirements.
Requires the following experience:

• Experience with the design of low noise, small footprint power electronic devices (the product requires several internal power converters (±6V) driven by one external power supply (3.3V) with varying currents up to 4-5A.)
  
• Full analogue / power electronics design capability (design, simulation, board design and bring up, supplier engagement, assembly, integration & test)
  
• Good schematic capture and ideally PCB layout skills (tools such as OrCAD, Altium, etc) would be desirable
  
• The ability to operate effectively in a fast-paced, evolving, start-up organisation
  Beneficial knowledge:
  
• Experience of developing DAC/ADC peripherals utilising QSPI, DSPI, and SPI interfaces would be great.
  
• Knowledge of highspeed network interface and optical transceiver systems would be preferable
  You will need a strong analogue / power electronics product development background. Experience with highspeed network interface or optical transceiver design would be a plus.
