Electrical Design Engineer

Permanent | Full‑Time | Hybrid Working Available

We are supporting an established engineering organisation with a long heritage in delivering high‑reliability, safety‑critical products for demanding environments. Due to continued growth and a major design‑to‑manufacture programme, they are now seeking an Electrical Design Engineer to strengthen their engineering capability.

This is a hands‑on design role offering exposure to end‑to‑end product development, from concept through to manufacture and test, within a fast‑paced and collaborative engineering environment.

The Role

As an Electrical Design Engineer, you will play a key role in the design, development, and delivery of electrical systems across a range of ruggedised and mission‑critical products. You will work closely with mechanical engineers, project managers, supply chain, and test teams to ensure designs are delivered on time, to specification, and ready for manufacture.

The engineering function is structured around product‑aligned business units, meaning you may support different product areas depending on programme demand and priorities - offering varied and technically interesting work.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and develop electrical systems in line with customer requirements, legislation, and internal design control procedures
• Deliver designs that meet quality, cost, and programme objectives
• Produce and review technical documentation to support design, manufacture, verification, and compliance
• Support design‑to‑manufacture programmes and transition designs into test and production
• Provide technical guidance and support to other engineers where required
• Contribute to design reviews and, at senior level, take responsibility for design sign‑off
• Support new business activity by providing technical input and cost estimates
• Identify and implement design and process improvements to improve efficiency, quality, and safety

What We're Looking For

Essential Experience

• Strong background in electrical / electronic design within an engineering or manufacturing environment
• Proven ability to take designs from concept through to manufacture
• Experience working to structured design and quality processes
• Comfortable working under programme pressure and fixed delivery deadlines
• Ability to collaborate effectively across disciplines and with non‑engineering stakeholders

Desirable Experience

• Experience in manufacturing, maritime, naval, or ruggedised equipment environments
• Exposure to regulated or safety‑critical industries
• Professional registration (IEng or working towards)

Qualifications

• Engineering Degree
  or
• HNC / HND with relevant industry experience

Working Pattern & Environment

• 37 hours per week
  • Monday-Thursday: 8 hours
  • Friday: 5 hours
• Hybrid working available (typically 3 days on‑site, 2 remote)
• Occasional travel to other sites may be required

Security & Eligibility

• BPSS clearance required
• Ability to obtain Security Clearance (SC)
• Dual nationals considered
• Role subject to ITAR compliance checks

Why Apply?

• Work on technically challenging, real‑world engineering products
• Strong emphasis on design quality and engineering best practice
• Opportunity to work across multiple product lines and disciplines
• Supportive engineering culture with clear development pathways
• Hybrid working and a balanced weekly schedule

If you're an Electrical Design Engineer who enjoys hands‑on design, variety, and seeing products through to manufacture, this is a strong opportunity to join a growing engineering team with long‑term programmes in place.
