- Compiling BoMs, part selection, part sourcing and ordering.
- Managing the performance and delivery of external design teams.
- Writing technical requirements and mapped test cases.
- Carrying out design calculations to size components and wiring for thermal, space and cost constraints.
- Project management experience.
- Technical authoring for design documentation (i.e. design notes, circuits diagrams, panel layouts, timing plans, design journals).
- Write test procedures and perform hands on system verification and validation testing on test rigs.
- Lead safety assessments such as FMEAs, risk assessments, HAZOPs.
- Design for systems regulatory certification (i.e. UKCA/CE).
Experience Required
