Lead Electrical Engineer - A&D

As a Lead Electrical Engineer - A&D, your mission is to have direct responsibility for leading, empowering and motivating a growing team of Electrical Engineers involved in semiconductor equipment manufacture. Responsibility will span concept to customer commissioning and field trials, and through the application of best-practice engineering ensure on time delivery, within strategic operational budget and to specification. With responsibility for implementing the engineering strategy, work closely with internal and external key stakeholders, team leaders, project managers, manufacturing, service, and customer representatives.

You will report to a Techical Manager.

You will

• Work at the core of our engineering and product development teams using engineering tools and methods to bring clarity from ambiguity and deliver products that meet Requirements, Standards, Directives, and are cost effective.
• Work collaboratively with and effectively influence our engineering teams to ensure clarity of work packages, deliverables, and resolve engineering issues through determining the best solution.
• Be accountable for the technical elements of the product system and/or subsystem design, as assigned, identifying risks, control and mitigation actions, escalating issues when necessary for higher-level resolution
• Ensure modularity and standardisation is incorporated to maximise reuse of our engineering effort.
• Be accountable for safety and type testing of any system or subsystem you are responsible for, verifying and validating its compliance; reviewing and approving reports generated in this area, by the team.
• Mentor and coach a growing core team of Electrical Engineers of all levels of expertise to continue their development towards being a Lead Electrical Engineer themselves.
