Role Overview

You'll play a pivotal role in designing and developing electrical and electronic systems for industrial control products. Working from initial concept through to full production and support, this role offers cross-functional collaboration with engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain teams.

Electrical/Electronic Engineer

- Key Responsibilities

* Develop and translate customer or internal specifications into structured work packages and designs.

* Design, develop, and validate electrical/electronic systems for industrial applications.

* Perform circuit-level simulations, fault-finding, and verification/validation (V&V) in both lab and field settings.

* Support prototyping, product testing, compliance activities (e.g. CE, UL, UKCA), and EMC/EMI testing.

* Produce and maintain documentation including schematics, test plans, and validation reports.

* Collaborate with stakeholders across quality, procurement, manufacturing, and engineering teams.

* Provide technical support for existing product ranges and contribute to new product introduction (NPI).

* Participate in design reviews, risk assessments (e.g., FMEA), and continuous improvement initiatives.

* Lead technical problem-solving, mentor peers, and contribute to innovation roadmaps.
