Lead Electronics Engineer

Are you one of those people who look up to the sky every time a plane passes by?

Space holds no more secrets for you than it does for science?

Environmental and technological challenges are among those you wish to tackle?

Come join Sabca and play your own role in the fast-moving world of aerospace inside a company with more than 100 years of existence.

We are experts in designing, manufacturing, maintaining, and upgrading large and complex elements for aircraft and space launchers. 

In Brussels, we have our Structural and Mechatronics Engineering offices, where all our new programs begin and our workshops are equipped with modern

machines that produce complex metallic assemblies for aircraft and space launchers as well as advanced Thrust Vectoring Systems for space launchers.

SABCA Brussels is also the home to our "Unmanned Autonomous Systems" aka: the drones solutions unit

Mission : 
You will join the design office of the Actuation Systems business line, participating in various development activities of mechatronic systems.

You will be in charge of developing electronic units and printed circuit boards : 

• Collaborating in the definition of the unit's technical specifications.
• Defining the architecture's functional diagrams.
• Implementing the corresponding analogue and/or digital schematics.
• Selecting components.
• Supervising the routing of various boards.
• Supervising design-and/or-build subcontractors.
• Establishing the worst-case analysis.
• Writing the specifications for subcontracted elements (if applicable).
• Writing the unit's test plan (functional, EMC testing, etc.)/
• Performing those tests and writing their reports (or supervising this activity).
• You might also participate in the development of specialized test benches simulating the electronic unit's behaviour (hardware-in-the-loop bench) and other engineering benches.

• Cooperate and take responsibility at its level regarding ISO 14001.

Required knowledge : 

• Knowledge of aerospace (DO160, DO254 and ECSS) norms regarding electronic design and testing.
• Good knowledge of the Cadence Allegro design suite (Orcad, Pspice).
• Knowledge of data plotting and analysis via Matlab.
• Knowledge of Simulink and Opal-RT is a plus.

Required experience : 

• Eight-year experience in the design of aerospace electronic units.
• Experience in radiation-tolerant/hardened design is a plus.
• Experience with power electronics is a plus.

Travel : 

Short missions in Europe.

Langues : 

English required.
French or Dutch is a plus.
