Graduate PCB Design Engineer

Background

As architects of meaningful change, we guide industries forward by developing world-class products and holistic, scalable solutions that harness our expertise in telemetry, control and analytics and electrification.

We work with pioneers and visionaries who share our ambition to win. The output is high-performance design of products and processes across the automotive, motorsport, transport and internet of things industries.

You won’t believe what we get to work on.

Purpose of the Role

• As a graduate Hardware Design Engineer, you will work with the full support of an established Hardware Engineering team. You will help deliver complete design solutions – including Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design, prototyping PCB systems and analysis of PCB layouts – to verify & validate PCB designs throughout the product lifecycle.
• You will work on projects in the Motorsport business, supporting the team’s work in providing rigorous validation of PCB designs while working to established PCB engineering processes & standards.
• You will collaborate with our many engineers & technicians across the business, from many disciplines, providing the opportunity to develop in a rich engineering environment.
• The work of the team includes both PCB design and development. Working closely with other engineering disciplines (Mechanical design and Embedded Software) – plus prototyping PCBs and working closely with our Production team.

Principal Accountabilities

• You will contribute to all aspects of the team’s work, including:
• Specification of PCBs to deliver product performance goals.
• Design of prototype PCB systems to verify those performance goals.
• PCB system integration with the product under test.
• Analysis of PCB test performance statistics.
• You will design and develop Motorsport PCB hardware, these hardware-based projects will be used in various Motorsport series. This will involve capturing the design, prototyping and helping with hardware bring up working alongside your Embedded Software colleagues.
• You will collaborate with Systems engineers and Product Hardware and Software engineers, from across McLaren Applied, throughout each product’s development and production life cycles.
• You will begin your engineering career working to best-practice processes, using IPC based standards.
• This role suits a well-organized, motivated engineer who is excited about developing their career in a wide range of PCB engineering disciplines.
