Your Responsibilities
Reporting to the Senior Expert Engineer, you design, develop, and maintain the electrical, electronic and power systems that drive Powervamp’s GSE product range. You work across the full development cycle — from architectural design through hands‑on testing to production deployment — in close collaboration with hardware designers and a multidisciplinary engineering team. Your mission: deliver high quality, accurate, and well‑documented integration of hardware with control systems that meet the demanding performance and safety requirements of the aviation ground support environment.
- Equipment Design: Develop and update electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and component layouts for GSE using CAD software (e.g., SEE Electrical).
- System Integration: Integrate electrical components into mechanical systems, designing robust electrical harnesses and cable assemblies.
- Testing & Validation: Develop test procedures and execute tests, analyse data, and troubleshoot faults to certify operational reliability.
- Compliance & Safety: Ensure all electrical designs comply with applicable standards and safety regulations.
- Documentation: Prepare comprehensive technical reports, Bills of Materials (BOMs), operating manuals, and maintenance schedules.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with mechanical engineers, software developers, manufacturing teams, and suppliers to drive project delivery.
- Schematic Capture: Design electronic circuit schematics and optimize board layouts for performance and manufacturability.
- Integration: Connect sensors, motors, and drives to PLCs, and design Human Machine Interfaces (HMIs) for operators.
- Technical: Proficiency in schematic capture, PLC control systems, and low/high voltage systems.
The Profile We Are Looking For :
- Bachelor’s degree (BEng/BSc) or HND/HNC in Electrical or Electronic Engineering.
- 3+ years of experience in electrical engineering in a manufacturing environment — ideally in heavy equipment, industrial systems, or aviation ground support.
- Hands on approach – comfortable supporting prototype builds, capturing information and transferring to CAD.
- Strong understanding of power distribution, low voltage systems, PLCs, and motor controls.
- Experience with Controller Area Network (CAN) communication protocol and systems.
- Methodical, detail-oriented approach to problem-solving: you read signal traces, isolate root causes, and document your findings clearly.
- Good communicator and team player — comfortable contributing to cross-functional technical reviews and working alongside hardware and mechanical engineers.
- Field and product focus: you think beyond the bench — aware of how your system behaves in real-world aviation service conditions and what that means for reliability, safety, and aftermarket support.
- Adaptability: comfortable switching between new product development and legacy maintenance, schematic and harness support tasks, without losing sight of your delivery commitments.
- Proactive and outcome-driven, with a sense of initiative and a continuous improvement mindset.
Your Place In The Organization
You report to the Senior Expert Engineer at Powervamp, Kempston, and work as part of a multidisciplinary engineering team spanning embedded, electrical, and mechanical disciplines. You collaborate closely with hardware designers, PCB developers, and product engineers — as well as with TLD engineering teams worldwide. Hierarchy at TLD is short and accessible: your technical contributions shape how our products perform in the field, and the path from hands‑on engineering to broader technical ownership is open to those who deliver.
Why You’ll Want To Apply
TLD Powervamp is a business in full growth: new products are being developed, zero-emission GSE demand is accelerating, and the firmware you write will control ground power units trusted by airlines and airports in 60+ countries. You will work across the full embedded stack — from bare-metal C on Microchip and STM32 microcontrollers to 400 Hz frequency converters and 28 V DC battery management systems — in an environment where technical depth is valued, hardware curiosity is rewarded, and international exposure comes with the role. At TLD, hierarchy is short: your voice carries weight. If you are energised by embedded challenge, hardware-software co-design, and a real contribution to the decarbonisation of aviation ground support — we’d love to hear from you.
Présentation De La Structure
What if the products you engineer today powered aircraft at airports in 60+ countries tomorrow? At TLD Powervamp , a business in full growth and the aviation industry’s pioneer in zero-emission ground power, you will own a full product lifecycle as Product Line Engineer: from first concept to production at scale, and from our Bedford site to ramps worldwide. Join our Engineering team and shape the next generation of electric, eco-friendly Ground Support Equipment.
