Senior Electrical Design Engineer

West Midlands (North)

£60,000 – £65,000

On-site

We’re supporting a growing engineering and manufacturing business operating within a fast-paced mechatronics environment, looking to appoint a Senior Electrical Design Engineer.

This is an end-to-end design role with real visibility across the full product lifecycle. You’ll be involved from initial concept through to production, while also playing a key role on the shop floor supporting build, fault finding and continuous improvement.

This isn’t a pure desk-based design role. Around 20–25% of your time will be spent in production, working closely with engineering and manufacturing teams to improve processes, support delivery and ensure designs translate effectively into build.

What you’ll be doing

  • Delivering full lifecycle electrical design from concept through to production
  • Producing schematics, layouts and supporting documentation
  • Supporting New Product Introduction and engineering change activity
  • Completing FMEAs and supporting design validation processes
  • Taking ownership of elements of project delivery, working cross-functionally with wider teams
  • Spending time on the shop floor supporting fault finding, root cause analysis and process improvement
  • Working closely with build teams to ensure designs are practical, repeatable and efficient

What we’re looking for

  • Proven experience in an electrical design role within a manufacturing or mechatronics environment
  • Experience delivering end-to-end design rather than working in a siloed function
  • Comfortable operating between design and production, with a hands-on approach
  • Experience with FMEA and structured engineering / quality processes
  • Ability to support or lead elements of project delivery
  • 18th Edition would be highly beneficial, but not essential

We are supporting several clients across the region with similar requirements. Suitable applicants may be considered for a range of comparable opportunities.

This vacancy is advertised by Continuum Recruitment Group Ltd, acting as a recruitment agency. We are an equal opportunities recruiter and welcome applications from all suitably qualified individuals. By applying, you consent to your data being processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
