Electrical Design Engineer

Job description

Join a team working at the forefront of aerospace innovation.

We’re looking for an experienced Electrical Design Engineer to support and enhance a range of Landing Gear and Fuel Avionic Test Benches. If you thrive on solving complex electrical challenges, designing smart solutions, and seeing your work come to life in a real testing environment, this role is for you.

What You’ll Be Doing

As part of a collaborative engineering team, you will:

• Develop electrical architectures, schematics, and component selections to meet evolving test rig requirements.
• Create wiring diagrams, wire lists, and detailed design documentation.
• Troubleshoot and fault-find on existing test rigs using existing drawings and diagnostic tools.
• Design and implement new subsystems and modification packages.
• Support test bench operations, including hands-on diagnostics with equipment such as oscilloscopes, DVMs, and ARINC 429 tools.
• Work closely with onsite teams and external suppliers to deliver high‑quality solutions from concept through commissioning.

What You’ll Bring

We’d love to hear from you if you have:

• Solid knowledge of electronic circuit design (relay logic, diodes, resistors, capacitors).
• Proven ability to produce electrical/mechanical drawings and schematics independently.
• Understanding of electrical systems within complex engineering environments.
• Experience with PC/PLC digital I/O and ideally previous exposure to test rigs or modification work.
• Familiarity with Fuel Systems or Landing Gear Systems (beneficial, but training can be provided).

Essential Skills

• Strong communication and team collaboration skills.
• Ability to work autonomously when needed.
• AutoCAD Electrical and KiCad experience (essential).
• Microsoft Visio (desirable).

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical & Electronics Engineering or a related field.
