Electrical Design Engineer

Electrical Design Engineer (Engineer / Senior)
£40,000 - 65,000 + benefits
Stoke-on-Trent area, Staffordshire - 5 days onsite

Multiple positions exist for engineers and senior engineers to join this world class manufacturing company and work on the design and development of complex hydraulically controlled machines for the construction and agricultural markets.

Background: Electrical Design Engineer

• This role involves working within a small team of electrical engineers involved in the design and development of electrical distribution systems for complex agricultural machines / vehicles.
• In this role you will become a specialist for a range of products, contributing significantly to the electrical schematic and harness design and delivery for the machines.
• Your work will help to enhance existing machines but will also contribute to next generation products, implementing new ideas and technologies.

The ideal candidates will be electrical design engineers or senior engineers with excellent electrical engineering competence within electrical schematic and harness design of low voltage DC systems (e.g. 12v or 24v). Any team or project leading experience would be useful.

The company manufactures a range of complex, high value agricultural vehicles incorporating a broad array of electronic sensors, hydraulics, pneumatics, and intelligent capabilities. Candidates that have worked on the design of agricultural or construction machinery design would be preferred, although other products can be considered (e.g. automotive systems, rail or aerospace vehicles, marine vessels or complex automated production machinery).

Skills / Experience required: Senior Electrical Design Engineer

• A good degree in a relevant subject (e.g. electrical engineering, mechatronics engineering)
• At least 2 years of relevant experience in the design of electrical schematics and harnesses for low voltage DC systems (e.g. 12v, 24v)
• Experience in the design of electrical distribution systems for agricultural machines, construction machinery, automotive systems, or perhaps aerospace or other off-highway vehicles (e.g. military vehicles).
• Hands-on experience of 2D and 3D CAD for electrical schematic and harness design
• Experience of electrical architecture, electrical load calculations, and problem solving methods (8D, FMEA, etc)
• Experience of high reliability design taking into consideration water ingress, vibration, heat, impact, etc.
• Good communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a small team environment

NOTE : This role is not suited to engineers that do not have strong electrical schematic design experience or the ability to design from first principals.
This electrical design engineer role is based onsite near Stoke-on-Trent. Hybrid working is not supported.

It is commutable from Rocester, Rugeley, Crewe, Stafford, Birmingham, Uttoxeter, Lichfield, Macclesfield and Uttoxeter.
