Electrical Design Engineer

Fortress Recruit is supporting a leading engineering organisation in their search for a skilled Electrical Design Engineer to join their specialist team based in Poole.

This role offers the opportunity to take technical ownership of electrical design projects across the full product lifecycle, from initial concept and detailed design, through to verification, manufacturing support and beyond. You'll be involved in developing innovative and robust electrical solutions for use in demanding environments, ensuring quality, performance, and compliance with industry standards.

Key responsibilities will include:
Leading electrical design activities in line with customer requirements, regulations, and internal procedures
Creating detailed schematics, wiring diagrams, and layout drawings using industry-standard CAD tools
Producing and maintaining technical documentation including specifications, BOMs, and test plans
Supporting product verification, validation, and design reviews across the lifecycle
Providing technical guidance to other engineers and contributing to process and design improvements
Ensuring projects are delivered to quality, cost, and schedule targets
Maintaining knowledge of relevant technologies and best practices in electrical engineering
Offering technical support to other departments and customer-facing teams
To be successful in this role, you will have:
A recognised qualification in Electrical or Electronic Engineering (Degree, HND, or equivalent)
Proven experience in electrical/electronic design within a relevant industry
Working knowledge of electrical/electronic CAD software, MRP systems, and MS Office
Understanding of full product development lifecycle, from concept to production
Strong communication and organisational skills, with a proactive and detail-focused approach
Professional registration (IEng or working towards) is desirable
Unlike many Electrical Design Engineer positions, this role offers exposure beyond schematic design. You'll be involved in system level cable routing, cabinet design, production support and qualification testing, giving you genuine ownership throughout the complete engineering lifecycle from concept through to manufacture and customer acceptance.
This is a permanent, full-time role based in Poole, with hybrid working opportunity. On offer is a salary of £45-50K DoE plus training and development opportunities for those with a passion to progress their career further.
