Outside IR35 | Up to £750/day | 6 months + extensions (2–3 year programme)
Long-term project for an Senior Electronic Systems Engineer to take end‑to‑end ownership of airborne electronic hardware for Hydrogen Fuel Cell Management Systems on a landmark clean‑aviation programme.
This is a hands‑on, system‑level role where you’ll define architecture, drive integration, and lead verification and qualification of high‑reliability airborne hardware—shaping technology that will power the future of zero‑emission flight.
You’ll work with a world‑class engineering team on a long‑term programme, while retaining the flexibility and autonomy of an outside‑IR35 contract.
What you’ll do:
- Own the architecture, integration, verification, and qualification of airborne electronic hardware
- Define system and derived requirements to meet safety and regulatory objectives
- Architect and integrate mixed‑signal monitoring and data‑acquisition electronics
- Lead hardware development across in‑house and external suppliers, ensuring traceability, configuration control, and design compliance
- Collaborate closely with Fuel Cell, Mechanical, and Software teams to support system integration
- Drive DO‑254 development assurance activities from concept through qualification
- Produce and review design documentation, lead reviews, resolve actions, and support certification
- Contribute to continuous improvement of engineering standards and processes
What you’ll bring:
- 5+ years’ experience in airborne electronic hardware development
- Strong background in mixed‑signal electronics, monitoring circuits, and data‑acquisition systems
- Proven experience integrating electronics with microcontrollers and DSPs
- Solid understanding of electrical safety, EMC, and environmental qualification
- Experience using SPICE‑based tools (LTSpice, Simetrix, or similar)
- Degree in Electronics/Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience)
Fuel Cell or Battery Management Systems, DOA environments, CS‑23/25 certification exposure, DO‑160 / MIL‑STD‑810, RS485 / CAN / Ethernet.
