This role involves technically leading a small team of electrical engineers working on the design and development of electrical distribution systems for complex agricultural machines and vehicles. In this role, you will become the technical authority for a range of products, owning electrical schematic and harness design and delivery for the machines. You will mentor, lead and develop the team and contribute to next-generation products, implementing new ideas and technologies.
The ideal candidate will be a senior electrical design engineer or principal engineer with excellent electrical engineering competence within electrical schematic and harness design of low voltage DC systems (e.g., 12 v or 24 v). In addition, team and project leading experience would be preferred.
The company manufactures a range of complex, high-value agricultural vehicles incorporating a broad array of electronic sensors, hydraulics, pneumatics, and intelligent capabilities. Candidates that have worked on the design of agricultural machinery would be preferred, although other products can be considered.
Skills / Experience required:
- A good degree in a relevant subject (e.g., electrical engineering, mechatronics engineering)
- At least 5 years of relevant experience in the design of electrical schematics and harnesses for low voltage DC systems (e.g., 12 v, 24 v)
- Experience in the design of electrical distribution systems for agricultural machines, construction machinery, automotive systems, or perhaps aerospace or other off-highway vehicles (e.g., military vehicles)
- Hands-on experience of 2D and 3D CAD for electrical schematic and harness design
- Experience of electrical architecture, electrical load calculations, and problem-solving methods (8D, FMEA, etc)
- Experience of high reliability design taking into consideration water ingress, vibration, heat, impact, etc.
- Good communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a small team environment
- Experience designing low voltage DC systems for vehicles is essential. This role is not suited to engineers that do not have strong electrical schematic design experience or the ability to design from first principles.
This senior electrical design / principal engineer role is based onsite near Stoke-on-Trent. Hybrid working is not supported. It is commutable from Rocester, Rugeley, Crewe, Stafford, Birmingham, Uttoxeter, Lichfield and Macclesfield.
