Essential Experience

For applicants with a FPGA bias:

• Industrial design of FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Arrays) in VHDL language.
• Use of Microchip Libero and/or Xilinx Vivado design environments.
• Functional verification using self-checking test benches and simulation.
• Timing verification using timing constraints and analysis.
• Generate solutions, estimates, and define individual tasks for FPGA product delivery.
• Authoring required documentation, including requirements specifications, detailed design documents, technical reports, test specifications, user manuals, work instructions, etc.
• Use of electronic test equipment (e.g. oscilloscopes, logic analyser)
• You will be responsible for end-to-end FPGA development, maintenance, and lifecycle to achieve project goals to the required level of quality. You will work closely with Software, Electronics and Systems Engineers to architect solutions to meet customer requirements.

For applicants with an Electronics bias:

• Respond rapidly to equipment issues using your electronics knowledge and experience. Working to ensure that a timely repair is carried out, and clear progress updates are provided to the production teams.
• When solving complex issues on existing equipment, lead cross functional teams within Teledyne and external engineers, recording actions and minutes of meetings.
• Full PCB design for space applications using Altium, including component selection, schematic capture, analysis, documentation, stack-up definition, and administration of external layout activity.
• Preparation and presentation of concepts and designs that meet the requirements specifications, driven both by internal and external customer needs. Maintain and update compliance verification matrix with respect to electrical requirements.
• Capturing detailed system architecture by way of interface diagrams and charts; using them to embellish lifecycle documentation to navigate through gate reviews and progress the development efficiently.
• Preparing and presenting all necessary documentation relevant to the electrical design for gate reviews, both internal and external. The engineer will be expected to communicate clearly and effectively to all stakeholders.
• Taking a strong lead with verification and testing of electronics, and preparation of well-structured and clear associated documentation.
• Soldering and associated tasks for in-house PCB population.
