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
