Electrical Engineer

Irlam, Manchester (onsite)

The Electrical Engineer will be responsible for design/development, modification and evaluation of primarily electronic parts, components or controls/integrated circuitry for hardware and/or other systems.

What You’ll Do…

• Generate electrical design, block diagrams, and schematics for the system.
• Specify and select commercial (“off the shelf”) electronics subsystems, boards, and components (e.g. motion controllers, motors, power supplies, UPS).
• Prepare robotics/automation to go online including motor parameter selection, tuning, current limits, etc.
• Design and implement test setups for component (e.g. motor, power supply), boards, and subsystem level testing and qualification as appropriate.
• Hands on: Prototype, test, troubleshoot, debug, and qualify all electrical subsystems, components, and cables. 
• Perform failure mode analysis, including support to field service.
• Develop the required documentations during the development and for transfer to manufacturing (schematics, diagrams, BOM, test procedures, …). 
• Advocate electrical needs for projects and negotiating trade-offs across other engineering disciplines.

What you will Bring…

• A Bachelor’s Degree in Electrical Engineering or equivalent combination of experience and education. 
• Experience with minimum of one product life cycle (from concept to production) as a key contributor. 
• Troubleshooting skills with PC and embedded software-controlled equipment; low and medium power electronics
• Knowledge and expertise with cable and wire layout and management.  
• CAD software skills (AutoCAD, Solidworks, etc.) for cables, harness, and circuit design.
• Familiarity with Engineering Change Order processes and documentation.
• Regulatory compliance experience for equipment (e.g., safety, emission, immunity) a plus.  
• Ability to design simple circuits (e.g., breakout board). 
• Product Engineering and sustaining engineering experience
• Make simple circuit designs and updating complex schematics/designs
• Experience in PCB schematic/layout using Altium Designer, ORCAD, or similar

Working Conditions/ Schedule

• Typical office environment with hybrid work model
• May be asked to travel occasionally (anticipated to be around 10%)
