• Implement hardware architecture in physical and electrical form, fit, and function.
• Support manufacturing and procurement during build phases by responding to Problem Reports and implementing Engineering Change Requests.
• Define Hardware Test Specifications and Design Proving methods for qualification.
• Define and apply EMC and Environmental Test Specifications.
• Design and develop specialist test equipment when required.
• Attend and manage off-site qualification testing (e.g., EMC, environmental).
• Demonstrate compliance using IADT techniques and provide V&V evidence in requirements tools (e.g., DOORS).
• Produce Test Reports, Certificates, and maintain technical compliance documentation.
• Provide specialist knowledge on CE/UKCA marking, LV Directive, EMC & environmental certification, and RoHS/REACH.
• Provide ad-hoc support for integration, installation, acceptance, and trials.

• Designing to meet EMC and environmental standards.
• Familiarity with engineering development lifecycles, technical and gate reviews.
• Strong understanding of EU Directives (CE, UKCA, LV, RoHS, REACH).
• Competence with Microsoft Office.

Desired skills

• PLM tools.
• DOORS requirements management.
• JIRA task management.
• LabView or equivalent testing products.

Experience

• Strong relevant experience of the Skills listed above or associated experience that can be applied to electronic, electrical and electro-mechanical design in a regulated industry.
• Design and specification of COTS and bespoke sub-assemblies and equipment suitable for 19" racks / cabinets
• Interconnection Design (i.e. wiring harnesses, copper (electrical) / fibre (optical) network interconnections, connector types, power distribution and data comms, spacial constraints, environmental considerations).
• Integration of COTS and bespoke equipment sub-assemblies into 19" racks and cabinets.
• Working with mechanical engineers to realise electrical designs in 3D mechanical space.
• Full engineering lifecycle experience (Capture, Design, Implementation, Test).
• Experience of producing electrical designs and certifying designs to comply with the LV Directive.
• Experience of selecting and designing products and materials compliant with RoHS and REACH Directives.
• Experience of producing Technical Files and certification to meet CE / UKCA marking requirements.
• Working with requirements in a structured and evidential manner.
• Production of Design / Test Specifications and Test Reports.
• Knowledge of EU Directives.
• Understanding of Naval platforms, standards and equipment practices.
• IEC 60297 (Mechanical structures for electronic equipment in harsh environments).
• DEF STAN 08-107 (General Requirements for the Design of Electrotechnical and Naval Weapon Equipment).
• DEF STAN 59-411 (EMC)
• Designing with mechanical and solid state relays.
• An understanding of the relevant IPC specifications.
• Implementing IP networks / COTS network hardware.
• Thermal analysis techniques.
