Description of Business Environment:
LM is seeking a highly motivated 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 developing Electronic Products through the full NPI life cycle: verifying Electronics
design requirements using DOORs, writing Product functional specifications, verifying
and designing circuitry, performing analysis and simulation of circuit design, generating
test scripts for the design and bench 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 test verification / bench integration 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. Provide technical review of supplier
capabilities to facilitate source selection. Facilitate the development of functional and
physical design requirements to ensure complete integrated design architecture.
