Skills & Experience:
- Proven experience in Electrical Design within a high-integrity environment (Defense, Aerospace, Nuclear, or Rail).
- Proficiency in 2D/3D CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, or Solid Works Electrical).
- Deep understanding of power distribution
, control circuitry
, and PCB integration
. - Experience designing for harsh environments (IP ratings, thermal management, and ruggedisation).
- Knowledge of maritime defense standards and certification processes is highly desirable.
