An established and growing engineering organisation operating within the defence vehicle sector is seeking a Senior Electrical Design Engineer to support the development of advanced electrical systems for specialist armoured platforms.
About the Role
This role sits within a multidisciplinary engineering team responsible for delivering complex, mission-critical vehicle systems from concept through to production and in-service support.
The successful candidate will play a key role in defining electrical architectures, leading design activities, and ensuring robust integration of vehicle subsystems including communications, EMC protection, and situational awareness technologies.
This is an opportunity to take ownership of technically challenging projects within a highly regulated engineering environment, contributing to innovative platforms that support critical global operations.
Key Responsibilities
Electrical Design & Architecture
- Lead electrical system design from concept through to detailed design and release
- Develop and present electrical architecture solutions aligned to customer and regulatory requirements
- Produce electrical schematics and cable/harness designs in accordance with industry standards
- Support integration of specialist vehicle subsystems including communications and electronic protection systems
