South East Ref: ABJ6522
HYBRID / REMOTE Perm
A growing and innovative engineering business operating at the forefront of subsea and offshore technology is looking to appoint a Senior Design Engineer (Electrical) to support a range of high‑specification projects. This position combines electrical and mechanical design, with a strong focus on engineered connection systems (including cable‑based assemblies, harnessing, and integrated electro‑mechanical solutions).
As senior design engineer (electro‑mechanical / electrical background) you would play a key role within a specialist engineering team, offering the opportunity to work on complex electro‑mechanical systems used in demanding environments, including offshore energy and remotely operated applications in the cables sector.
As an experienced electrical design engineer, you will play a central role in the design and development of critical connection systems, cables and assemblies that support performance, reliability, and safety in challenging subsea conditions like remotely operated vehicles (ROV's).
Remote / Hybrid working is available following an initial onboarding period, during which time you will spend time on‑site to integrate with the team.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the design of electro‑mechanical cable systems, including power, signal, and fibre‑based solutions
- Develop specifications based on customer requirements and operational environments
- Produce technical documentation, calculations, and design outputs
- Define and support testing and validation activities under real‑world conditions (e.g. mechanical stress, environmental exposure)
- Collaborate with manufacturing teams to ensure designs are delivered effectively
- Investigate and resolve performance issues, feeding improvements into future designs
- Support customer‑facing teams with technical input where required
Qualifications and Experience
- Degree in Electrical Engineering or related discipline (or equivalent experience)
- Strong background in electrical or electro‑mechanical design
- Experience working with engineered cable systems, harnessing, or similar connection technologies
- Understanding of how electrical and mechanical principles interact in complex environments
- Comfortable working across design, manufacturing, and testing
- Experience in cable systems, harness design, or electro‑mechanical assemblies (subsea, offshore, defence, or industrial sectors advantageous)
- Knowledge of electrical fundamentals (current, voltage, insulation, thermal effects, etc.)
- Exposure to mechanical considerations such as stress, fatigue, and material performance
- CAD experience (2D essential, 3D beneficial – e.g. AutoCAD / SolidWorks)
- Experience working within engineering or manufacturing environments
- Familiarity with quality standards (e.g. ISO 9001)
Package & Benefits
- Bonus (10%)
- 25 days holiday + bank holidays
- Private healthcare (BUPA)
- Pension scheme
- Death in service (3x salary)
