We create cutting edge Radars for the Eurofighter Typhoon, as well as Maritime and Airborne surveillance systems. We are also investors in innovation, undertaking all our own research to fuel our future products. We are recruiting talented, motivated engineers to join our growing team. We offer roles at all levels to match your skills and experience including Hardware Engineer, Senior Hardware Engineer, Principal Hardware Engineer and Lead Hardware Engineer.\nAn exciting opportunity has arisen for a Principal Hardware Engineer to join the PSU Core Delivery Team (CDT) Team in Edinburgh. The Team provides expert advice, guidance, design and governance throughout the full lifecycle of all projects on site for matters pertaining to Power.\nWhat sort of work would I be involved in?\nAs an experienced PSU design engineer, your primary role is to lay the ground work for the future Power Systems we require in the near and far term. PSU topology analysis and associated new technologies in Energy Storage and Energy Conservation, including limiting the disturbances seen by the Generator, will be key to your and our success in the future.\nThe role includes the need to support adhoc and emerging power related tasks on the other Projects the PSU CDT is involved in. An overarching understanding of power techniques and the ability to step into a live issue is required.\nThe role also requires the ability for general oversight of several Projects, acting as a technical and managerial buffer between the Engineering, Project and PSU CDT Management Teams.\nGreat work life balance.\nLife shouldn't be all work and no play. That's why we offer brilliant benefits like half days on Fridays, flexible hours, gym memberships, and many other incentives to make life great. Not to forget, our award-winning pension scheme.\nNote, that due to the nature of the tasks involved, you will have to achieve full SC security clearance, and may need to satisfy further UK eyes only and ITAR conditions.\nKey Responsibility Areas\nYou will report directly to a CDT Lead Engineer, covering the wide scope of PSU and System Topologies, Power System Analysis, Power System Design and partitioning of requirements into LRI , SRI and SSRI. A clear and methodical work ethic is necessary when ‘fire fighting’ tasks emerge.\nYou will be responsible for;\nThe primary role is to lay the ground work for the future Power Systems we require in the near and far term. PSU topology analysis and associated new technologies in Energy Storage and Energy Conservation, including limiting the disturbances seen by the Generator, will be key to your and our success in the future.\nProvide technical and managerial support to the Engineering, Project and PSU CDT Management Teams\nSupport Power CDT for full range of Power System tests including prototyping, design verification and production support.\nCreation and review of documentation such as Outsource Procurement Specifications, Statement of Work, Circuit & System Simulations and associated White Papers, Test Reports, Test plans\nWork closely with other CDTs and the Design for EMC Team to create Earth & Grounding diagrams, EMC Plans and Design Stage Review material.\nKnowledge sharing with the other members of the PSU CDT.\nProvide design and domain knowledge support to Projects, CDTs, Suppliers, Workshare Partners and Customers.\nReview of System Requirements and partitioning into Power System Requirements. Sub-partitioning into SRI Requirements\nProvide support to other members of the CDT, including schematic capture, component selection and derating and simulation of power supply circuitry.\nPSU Topology Analysis\nReview of current and emerging Energy Storage materials\nReview of current and emerging Energy Conservation techniques.\nReview of how the Power System impacts the performance of the Generator\nYou will also play an active role in the on-going process improvement initiatives within the team and knowledge sharing of Power related topics across the wider business.\nIs there room to grow?\nWe encourage our Engineers to find and follow their passion. We offer fantastic opportunities for learning, development and professional growth. Your career will be massively varied. Join us, and you will be constantly reinventing and developing your technical skillset from one project to the next. Learning on the job isn't just a benefit - it's a must.\nSkills, Qualifications & Knowledge Required\nIn order to be considered for this role you will have previous experience in the design, manufacture, test, integration of PSUs and or Power Systems.
