Responsibilities: 

• Design and schematic capture of circuits for optical control, electromechanical control, optical readout and optical signal chain processing
• Printed Circuit Board (PCB) layout of designed circuits, including high-speed RF layout
• Component selection suitable for aerospace deployment
• Design of circuits to AS/EN9100 and relevant JEDEC standards, with specific reference to aerospace standards
• Creation and specification of power budgets for (sub)systems
• Development of (sub)systems from prototype to aerospace-qualified products
• Work closely with interdisciplinary mechanical and optical teams to design in mechanically and thermally constrained environments with strict optical requirements
• Design and modelling of analogue (optical) readout & signal processing circuits such as TIAs, DACs, etc.
• Simulation of PCBs for high-speed electro-optical transceivers
• Development of noise models and link budgets
• Test of designed circuits to validate performance
• Documentation and review of design, test & validation of (sub)system designs
• Design of test platforms for circuit testing
