Role Purpose
To support the manufacture, testing and continuous improvement of high-voltage power supplies. This is a hands-on engineering role combining electrical assembly, testing, fault-finding and engineering support activities. Please note: This is a practical production-based engineering position and not a purely office or design role.
Key Responsibilities
- Assemble and wire high-voltage power supplies, prototypes and electrical subassemblies.
- Work from schematics, wiring diagrams, mechanical drawings, BOMs and assembly instructions.
- Carry out soldering, crimping, cable preparation, panel wiring and general assembly.
- Use Multimeters, oscilloscopes and other test equipment.
- Perform inspections, continuity checks and functional testing.
- Support fault-finding, calibration and high-voltage testing following training and authorisation.
- Record test results and prepare technical reports.
- Assist with BOMs, wiring diagrams, assembly instructions and test procedures.
- Support engineering changes, product improvements and prototype development.
- Follow all health, safety, quality and ESD procedures.
- Work closely with Engineering, Production and Quality teams.
Essential Requirements
- Degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronic Engineering, Power Electronics, Mechatronics or a related discipline.
- Understanding of electrical and electronic circuits.
- Ability to read electrical schematics and wiring diagrams.
- Basic experience using electrical test equipment.
- Strong practical interest in hands-on engineering work.
- Good problem-solving and analytical skills.
- Methodical, organised and safety-conscious approach.
- Good communication skills and willingness to learn.
- Applicants must be sole British nationals and capable of obtaining and maintaining the level of security clearance required for this position.
Desirable Requirements
- Practical engineering projects, electronics hobbies or Formula Student participation.
- Experience of soldering, crimping, wiring or PCB assembly.
- Knowledge of power electronics and electrical testing.
- Familiarity with oscilloscopes, fault-finding techniques or CAD software.
- Experience with SolidWorks, particularly sheet-metal design and producing manufacturing drawings.
- Industrial placement or manufacturing experience.
Development Opportunities
As experience develops, the successful candidate will gain exposure to:
- High-voltage testing and calibration
- Product fault-finding and diagnostics
- Manufacturing and product improvement projects
- Engineering change activities
- Prototype development
- Electrical and electronic design support
This role offers an excellent opportunity for a graduate engineer to develop practical skills and build a career in high-voltage power supply technology within a growing engineering business.
