Jackson Hogg is delighted to be working with a global engineering manufacturer in the appointment of an Electrical/Electronic Engineer to join their high-performing R&D team.
Role Overview
You’ll play a pivotal role in designing and developing electrical and electronic systems for industrial control products. Working from initial concept through to full production and support, this role offers cross-functional collaboration with engineering, manufacturing, and supply chain teams.
Electrical/Electronic Engineer – Key Responsibilities
*
Develop and translate customer or internal specifications into structured work packages and designs.
*
Design, develop, and validate electrical/electronic systems for industrial applications.
*
Perform circuit-level simulations, fault-finding, and verification/validation (V&V) in both lab and field settings.
*
Support prototyping, product testing, compliance activities (e.g. CE, UL, UKCA), and EMC/EMI testing.
*
Produce and maintain documentation including schematics, test plans, and validation reports.
*
Collaborate with stakeholders across quality, procurement, manufacturing, and engineering teams.
*
Provide technical support for existing product ranges and contribute to new product introduction (NPI).
*
Participate in design reviews, risk assessments (e.g., FMEA), and continuous improvement initiatives.
*
Lead technical problem-solving, mentor peers, and contribute to innovation roadmaps.
Electrical/Electronic Engineer – Key Requirements
*
Bachelor's degree in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or a related field, with 3+ years of relevant experience.
*
Proven experience in product/system design through full lifecycle, ideally in an industrial environment.
*
Hands-on experience in PLC programming and developing control logic for hardware-based systems.
*
Proficient in embedded systems, microcontroller integration, and schematic/PCB layout (Altium preferred).
*
Solid understanding of regulatory standards (e.g., IEC, UL, CE, EMC/EMI), cabling standards, and safety compliance.
*
Familiarity with simulation tools (e.g., SPICE) and use of lab instrumentation for test and debug activities.
*
Excellent problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and the ability to manage priorities in a project environment.
*
Strong communication skills and a team-first mindset.
This is a permanent, hybrid role with long-term career progression within a stable, growing business.
