• Carry out electrical calculations, including load analysis, cable sizing, protection coordination, and fault current evaluation.
• Ensure all designs comply with relevant UK and international standards (e.g., BS 7671, IET Code of Practice for Electric Vehicle Charging Equipment Installation (5th Edition), IEC standards, applicable British Standards).
• Create and maintain technical documentation, including design specifications, reports, bills of materials (BOMs), and change records.
• Participate in design reviews, providing technical insight and supporting cross‑functional collaboration.
• Work closely with mechanical, software, testing (Test labs) and manufacturing teams to ensure design compatibility and smooth project delivery.
• Support prototyping, build phases, testing, and commissioning activities as required.
• Assist in evaluating suppliers, components, and technologies to support innovation and continuous improvement and design for scale and mass production (Reduce cost, increase quality and reduce time).
• Ensure all design work adheres to safety, quality, and regulatory requirements and good practice.
• Provide technical support during product lifecycle, including troubleshooting and root‑cause analysis.

Essential Skills & Experience:

• Degree in Electrical Engineering or a related discipline, or equivalent experience.

• Ability to produce accurate schematics, diagrams, 3D electrical layouts and technical documentation.
• Ideally, a skilled user of SolidWorks Electrical, Solid Works Premium and SolidWorks PDM.
• Nice to have would be SolidWorks Composer.
• Experience guiding new electrical products from initial concept through prototyping, compliance testing, production pilot builds, and ultimately into full mass production and installation.
• Strong analytical and problem‑solving skills.
• Effective communication and collaboration skills across engineering and non‑engineering teams.
• Organised, methodical, and comfortable working in fast‑paced project environments.
• Ability to manage multiple tasks and work to project deadlines.

Desirable Skills:

• Knowledge of renewable energy, EV charging, power electronics.
• Familiarity with 3D design environments and mechanical integration.
• Exposure to safety‑critical or high‑reliability system design.
• Experience with on‑site testing, commissioning, or field engineering.
• Understanding of systems engineering, Agile methodologies, or configuration management.

Benefits:

• Competitive salary
• Competitive Pension Scheme
• Flexible working hours and hybrid working model
