Electronic Engineer, High Speed Electronics for Optical Systems, Johannesburg

Introduction

The primary purpose of the Electronic Engineer is to design and integrate electronic hardware for the systems under development. Our company’s focus is mainly on electro-optical systems for the civilian and security industry, but may also be suitable for limited defence applications. This wide range of application implies special requirements and considerations when designing and verifying electronic hardware. The Electronic Engineerwill work in a team with System Engineers, Project Managers, the Chief Electronic Engineer, and other Engineers and Technicians in the process of product development.Duties&Responsibilities

The responsibilities of the Electronics Engineer will include: Concept electronic designs to meet the system requirements provided by the Systems Engineer Detailed electronic hardware designs based on the chosen concept design Oversee and review PCB designs Internal and external interface designsDesign for Electro-magnetic compatibility Simulation and analysis in support of the design process Ability to develop and/or understand firmware and software for optical systems is an advantage Creation of documentation (e.g. requirement specifications, design description and verification documents, version descriptions) as outputs of the various stages of the hardware design, development, and review processPerform FAIT (Fabrication, Assembly, Integration and Testing) for electronic components/sub-systems Perform verification, validation and qualification testing of the electronic components/subsystems Suitable Character

The following traits are desired for this role: The ability to apply a deep technical knowledge through independent judgement and decision making Self-motivated and proactive, with the drive necessary to bring product development projects to a successful conclusion An innovative thinker and pragmatic problem solver, who can identify a variety of technical options, evaluate their suitability, and select the optimum solutionWilling to consult the opinion of others and negotiate consensus where necessary Exhibits an enthusiastic, confident and positive attitude to their work Maintains a polite, respectful and professional demeanour at all times Is prepared to ensure project success in any reasonable way Desired Experience&Qualification
