Electrical Design Engineer
Location: Oxford
Job Type: Permanent | Full-Time | Office-Based
Are you an experienced Electrical Design Engineer looking to work on cutting-edge automation and advanced manufacturing technology?
We're looking for an Electrical Design Engineer to join an innovative engineering company developing bespoke automated equipment for high-tech manufacturing environments. This is an opportunity to work on technically challenging, low-volume, high-value machinery where you'll take ownership of designs from concept through to production.
Working within a multidisciplinary engineering team, you'll design sophisticated electrical systems for precision automation equipment while contributing to the development of next-generation products used by global manufacturers.
The Role
You'll be responsible for the electrical design of complex capital equipment, producing high-quality schematics, control panel designs and documentation while ensuring compliance with relevant electrical safety standards.
Key Responsibilities
- Produce electrical schematics, wiring diagrams and single-line diagrams using EPlan Electric P8.
- Design control panels, power distribution systems, motion control panels and wiring harnesses.
- Perform electrical calculations including power/load analysis, component selection and safety assessments.
- Ensure designs comply with CE/UKCA requirements and relevant industry standards.
- Manage design documentation, BOMs and configuration control.
- Support prototype builds, testing and design validation.
- Collaborate closely with mechanical, software, manufacturing and quality teams throughout the product lifecycle.
- Liaise with suppliers to support production and resolve technical issues.
- Provide technical support to internal engineering teams when required.
- Contribute to continuous improvement, engineering standards and future product development.
