Description of Business Environment:
LM is seeking a highly motivated and skilled Hardware Electronics Design Engineer for
the programmes within the Vehicles Business Area. The role is to Develop, design and
support electronic assemblies through qualification for ground based vehicles.You will
be part of a small team capturing Electronics design requirements using DOORs, writing
Product functional specifications, designing circuitry, performing analysis and simulation
of circuit design, generating Firmware for the design and testing of both the Electronics
Circuitry and associated Firmware.
Reporting to the Product Technical Lead and Design Team Lead, the candidate will be
expected to take responsibility for technical decisions of a particular part of the product
design, documenting design decisions throughout development and will also need to
work with minimum supervision. Further, communicating with internal functions, to
ensure all views are gauged and understood before, during and after delivery of the
detailed design.
Specific Job Description:
 Reporting to the Design Team Lead, the candidate is expected to take responsibility
for the design, development and support of mixed electrical / electronic LRU
solutions from concept to completion following a detailed phase-gate development
process.
 Provide guidance and governance to the team in the integration of the LRU
deliverables, supporting as necessary assembly and installation.
 Provides direction to the project team against specification requirements and further
supports design review activities.
 Define processes, specifications, and procedures that support the design and
manufacture of the electronic hardware.
 Provides direction used cross discipline to develop scope of work, metrics, schedules
and budgets.
 Provides lead to the LRU design and development, whilst engaging in the technical
detail as an integral member of the team.
