Electronic Hardware Engineer - 6 months - Valais

Aerospace industry

Description

• Design and simulate mixed-signal circuits (analog/digital, HV/LV, current & temperature sensing).
• Integrate input protection, EMI/ESD filtering, and power management blocks (e.g., DC/DC converters).
• Incorporate digital communication protocols (CAN, RS485, RS232) and microcontroller-based systems.
• Develop schematics and PCB layouts using Altium Designer or similar ECAD tools.
• Specialization in analog circuit design is a strong advantage.

• Prepare detailed design descriptions, FMEA, MTBF calculations, and analysis reports.
• Ensure full traceability and version control of engineering data in line with DO-254.

• Define and execute Qualification Test Plans (QTP) and Verification Test Procedures (VTP).
• Support PCB debugging, system-level integration, and de-risking activities.
• Contribute to the development of test benches and Acceptance Test Procedures (ATP).
• Conduct environmental and functional testing according to RTCA/DO-160.

• Comply with internal and regulatory processes related to configuration management, safety, and documentation.
• Promote quality through peer reviews, design checklists, and robust change control procedures.

Profile

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electronics Engineering.
• Technical apprenticeship (CFC or equivalent) in electronics is a strong asset.
• 3-5 years of experience in safety-critical hardware development (aerospace, automotive, medical, or industrial sectors).

Proficiency in:

• Mixed analog/digital circuit design (SPICE-based simulation tools such as Simetrix).
• Power electronics, protection circuits, and filtering.
• Communication protocols (CAN, RS485, RS232).
• Schematic capture and PCB layout using Altium Designer or similar.

Familiarity with:

• EMI/EMC design principles and PCB layout best practices.
• IPC standards and manufacturability considerations.
• Thermal and mechanical integration (asset).
• Environmental and qualification testing (DO-160).
• Certification standards: DO-254, CS-23, and EASA/FAA frameworks.
• Tools: Altium, MATLAB, Simetrix, version control and configuration tools.

• Structured, detail-oriented, and quality-focused.
• Strong documentation and compliance discipline.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Collaborative mindset with the ability to work independently.
• Fluent in English; French is a strong asset.
