Experienced Electrical Design Engineer – Oaklands Global
Oaklands Global are seeking an experienced Electrical Design Engineer to join a growing engineering team working on the design and integration of complex electrical systems across advanced engineering platforms.
This is a systems-level engineering role focused on ensuring electrical subsystems operate as one fully integrated solution. You’ll be responsible for the design, integration, and validation of electrical architectures, working across multidisciplinary teams to ensure electrical systems are safe, compliant, and fully functional throughout the product lifecycle.
About the Role
This is not a PCB or electronic circuit design position. We're looking for engineers with experience integrating complete electrical systems, producing wiring documentation, and supporting system-level verification and validation.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop and review electrical wiring diagrams, interconnection schematics, and system layouts
- Define and maintain system-level electrical architectures and integration strategies
- Integrate electrical subsystems (including power distribution, signal routing, and data communication interfaces)
- Produce high-quality engineering documentation supporting electrical integration activities
- Collaborate with Mechanical, Structural, Avionics, and Systems Engineering teams throughout the design lifecycle
- Identify, investigate, and resolve electrical integration issues across complex engineering platforms
- Translate system requirements into practical electrical integration solutions
- Participate in design reviews and provide technical insight into system architecture decisions
- Support electrical system testing, validation, commissioning, and troubleshooting activities
- Maintain configuration control and design assurance documentation in line with engineering processes
