Job Description:

We are looking for a Senior or Principal Digital Printed Circuit Assembly (PCA) Development Engineer at various levels to join Leonardo in Edinburgh (or Newcastle with travel to the Edinburgh office during hardware testing stages). We are a world-class defence technology company. We develop cutting-edge Radars for the Eurofighter Typhoon and SAAB Gripen fighter jets, 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 Electronics team.

This is an exciting opportunity for you as an experienced engineer to bring your skillset and knowledge into our working environment. Familiarity with the Leonardo hardware design review process and Team Centre Unify configuration management tool would be preferable. You will:

• Support the hardware lifecycle of a design, through the design review process, design verification testing and unit test of a range of PCAs within a radar system
• Have knowledge of high-speed digital Printed Circuit Boards that utilise the latest FPGA, microprocessor and high-speed interconnect technologies
• Produce design review packs for each stage of the PCA design
• Pursue the PCAs through the configuration management tool
• Carry out design verification testing (and record outcomes) of each PCA
• Fully document and record your work products; keep them under configuration management, and provide plans and progress reports

Personal attributes and values are just as important to us as technical ability, so we are looking for engineers with a willingness to learn, progress and develop through our dedicated technical career path. If you are passionate about what you do and can deliver a pragmatic approach to problem solving, we would like to hear from you.
