You will be involved in developing a range of multifunctional RF, PCB and Module designs using the latest technologies available and contribute to the definition and execution of a testing and integration phase of a key TDP to enable GCAP.
Creating high quality and robust designs, conducting design reviews for your design, fully documenting and recording your work products, keeping them under configuration management and providing plans and progress reports.
Preparing robust manufacturing data packs and providing technical support to sub-contracts and engineering interface with manufacturing.
Working closely with Systems, Test and Electronics engineers, you will be solving real integration problems on advanced systems.
Coach and mentor junior team members to support the development of a high-performance engineering team in preparation for the delivery of the demands of the GCAP programme.
