Position Overview
We are seeking an experienced Senior Electrical Engineer to lead the design, development, and validation of electrical and control systems for heavy machinery and off-highway equipment. This role is suited to a technically strong engineering leader with extensive experience in machine-level electrical architecture, control systems integration, and electrified power platforms.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead complete machine-level electrical system architecture, including control mechanism, safety circuits, and power distribution.
- Develop electrical hardware and software architecture for diesel, electric, and hybrid machinery platforms.
- Design and review electrical schematics, layout drawings, harness systems, control cabinets, and BOM documentation.
- Lead PLC programming, motor drive integration, inverter configuration, and CAN bus communication systems.
- Oversee prototype builds, bench testing, validation programmes, and on-site commissioning.
- Diagnose and resolve complex electrical and control system faults during production and field operation.
- Ensure compliance with UKCA/CE marking, Machinery Regulations, and relevant electrical safety standards.
- Collaborate cross-functionally with mechanical, manufacturing, and supply chain teams.
- Support technical bids, customer meetings, and engineering documentation preparation.
- Contribute to development of internal electrical engineering standards and scalable design frameworks.
- Accompany the CEO to customer meetings and sites where senior electrical engineering expertise is required to assess existing machinery, electrical and control systems; determine the technical feasibility of proposed modifications, upgrades or developments; and identify key engineering requirements, constraints and risks.
