Reporting to Electronics Engineering Manager, you'll be taking a supporting role in the embedded software and hardware engineering design activities, through the full product lifecycle from conception to product launch and beyond. You'll help to conceive/develop early prototypes through to final design and validation testing within NPD (New Product Development) projects, complementing and assisting with the work undertaken by other senior engineers. Alongside design and layouts of PCBs, the roles will also entail helping to identify and diagnose software/hardware faults and work to resolve them with guidance from senior engineers, as well as troubleshooting assembly issues on production lines.
The key responsibilities for the role are:
* Assisting with the development of design solutions for new projects and existing product improvements.
* Assisting with the hardware design of embedded electronics systems using a variety of existing and advancing technologies but primarily focussed around microprocessors, power supplies, sensor interfacing, power systems control (relays, triacs, stepper motors, etc.) and user interfaces.
