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 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)
Be part of a growing, innovative team. Hybrid working flexibility for senior hires. Career development and mentoring opportunities. Package & Benefits: Bonus (10%) 25 days holiday + bank holidays, Private healthcare (BUPA), Pension scheme, Death in service (3x salary)
