Job Description:

Electrical Design Engineer                            

Up to £65,000 + benefits         
Stoke-on-Trent area, Staffordshire - 5 days onsite

This electrical design engineer role is open to engineers or senior electrical design engineers who want to work on technically challenging electrical systems from concept through to production.

Background: Electrical Design Engineer                            

• This role involves 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 contribute to next generation products, implementing new ideas and technologies.
• The ideal candidate will be an electrical design engineer or senior EDS engineer with excellent electrical engineering competence within electrical schematic and harness design of low voltage DC systems (e.g. 12v or 24v
• The company manufactures a range of complex, high value agricultural and construction vehicles incorporating a broad array of electronic sensors, hydraulics, pneumatics and intelligent capabilities.

 
Skills / Experience required: Electrical Design Engineer                            

• A good degree or equivalent in a relevant subject (e.g. electrical engineering, mechatronics engineering)
• At least 3 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), static machinery, automated systems etc.
• 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 senior / principal EDS engineer role is based on site near Stoke-on-Trent.
Hybrid working is not supported. It is commutable from Rocester, Rugeley, Crewe, Stafford, Birmingham, Uttoxeter, Lichfield, Macclesfield and Uttoxeter.
