Electronic / Electrical Engineer

Irlam, Manchester (onsite)

The Electronic / 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 / Electronic 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%)
