Job Title: Senior Electrical Engineer
Location: Gloucestershire (on-site, 5 days per week)
Employment Type: Full-time, Permanent
Sectors: Aerospace | Clean Energy | Hydrogen Propulsion

Join ALTEN and help engineer the future of zero-emission flight. Step into a role where your designs shape the next generation of hydrogen-electric propulsion systems. You'll be embedded within a fast-paced programme solving critical challenges in power distribution, thermal management, EWIS, and fuel cell integration. This is your chance to work on cutting-edge clean aviation technology, helping decarbonise the skies through advanced engineering.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and deliver aircraft electrical systems design and integration, from concept to test, with a focus on low and high voltage systems.
• Support test asset development and provide electrical troubleshooting on aircraft systems using diagnostic tools.
• Drive the creation of internal design standards for novel propulsion systems, including Hydrogen Fuel Supplies and Fuel Cell Powertrains.
• Conduct and support ARP4754B / ARP4761-based safety assessments, validation activities, and system-level analyses.
• Prepare and maintain schematics, diagrams, drawings, and supporting documentation in accordance with industry standards.
• Collaborate across engineering teams to deliver modifications, repairs, and EWIS development in alignment with certification requirements.
