Job description

Senior Electrical Design Engineer

£55-65k + benefits

Stoke-on-Trent area, Staffordshire - 5 days onsite

Background:

• This role involves technically leading a small team of electrical engineers working on the design and development of electrical distribution systems for complex agricultural machines / vehicles.
• In this role you will become the technical authority for a range of products, owning electrical schematic and harness design and delivery for the machines.
• You will mentor, lead and develop the team and contribute to next generation products, implementing new ideas and technologies.

Skills / Experience required:

• A good degree in a relevant subject (e.g. electrical engineering, mechatronics engineering)
• At least 5 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: Experience of designing low voltage DC systems for vehicles is essential. Ideally, this would be off-highway systems (see above). 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 senior electrical design / principal 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
