Analogue Design Engineer

The candidate will have a strong track record in the development of PCB level high speed/high power analogue circuits, possibly in the design of audio amplifiers, video amplifiers or RF amplifiers.

The candidate should be able to "Design an amplifier to have a maximum bandwidth and keep stable" with open loop bandwidths in the order of 100MHz.

Key Responsibilities:
• Design analogue electronic circuits
• Providing guidance on PCB layout related to their designs
• Verification and validation of their designs (a hands on role)
• Advise on manufacturing test relating to their designs
• Ongoing support & maintenance of their designs

The candidate is likely to have the following skills and experience:
• Experience in designing amplifiers up to 100Mhz b/w
• Extensive experience with designing high performance amplifiers using discrete components
• Experience in Class D amplifier design
• Experience in modelling/simulating the design with the view of "proving" the design ahead of prototyping.
• Understand stability and compensation techniques
• Thorough understanding of BJT and MOSFET device characteristics and circuit topologies.
• Understanding of device speed limitations, failure modes and breakdown mechanisms.
• Practical implementation knowledge regarding PCB layout to minimise parasitic effects (the devices we use have the potential to oscillate at microwave frequencies)
• Experience of using test equipment like spectrum & network analysers
• Good hands on bench skills (e.g soldering)
• Practical knowledge of measurement techniques e.g. how to make accurate measurements of amplifier open loop response.
• Good appreciation of potential manufacturing assembly/test problems
