Do not pass up this chance, apply quickly if your experience and skills match what is in the following description.

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 xwzovoh 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)

Desirable:

Fuel Cell or Battery Management Systems, DOA environments, CS‑23/25 certification exposure, DO‑160 / MIL‑STD‑810, RS485 / CAN / Ethernet.
