You'll ideally have:

• A degree (or equivalent qualification) in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline.
• A minimum of three years' experience in an Electrical Design Engineer role within a manufacturing or engineering environment.
• Strong experience designing AC and DC electrical circuits.
• The ability to produce and interpret detailed electrical schematics and technical drawings.
• Experience using EPLAN and AutoCAD.
• Excellent fault-finding skills and a logical, methodical approach to problem solving.
• Experience with electric motors, switching circuits and motor controllers.
• The ability to manage your own workload and communicate effectively with colleagues, suppliers and customers.
• A willingness to travel occasionally for commissioning and technical support activities.

Desirable Experience

Experience in any of the following areas would be advantageous:

• Control systems and PLC programming, particularly Siemens PLCs.
• CodeSys 3.5.
• CAN bus communication systems, including CANopen or NMEA2000.
• Hydraulic systems.
• Functional Safety and design risk assessments, including SIL principles.
• Developing products for harsh operating environments.
• Knowledge of product certification and industry compliance standards.
• Experience working within marine, automotive, defence, industrial automation or other regulated engineering sectors.

What's on Offer?

• Join an established engineering business with a strong reputation for innovation and quality.
• Work on technically challenging products throughout the complete product development lifecycle.
• Be part of a collaborative, supportive engineering team where your ideas are valued.
