Job description
Senior Electrical Engineer (NPD) – From Sketches to Sparks
Location: Bourne, Lincolnshire
Salary: up to £75,000
The Mission (Should You Choose to Accept It...)
You’re not just designing wires and switches — you’re creating the future. This isn’t a maintenance gig or a tweak-the-old-drawing role. We’re talking about real new product development, from concept to compliance.
As our next Senior Electrical Engineer, you’ll be the go-to person for transforming customer needs into smart, safe, manufacturable products. You’ll work across teams, partner with customers, dig into design tools, and make sure every volt has a purpose.
What You'll Actually Be Doing (A.K.A. The Cool Stuff)
- Leading electrical design — drawings, schematics, models, the whole circuit-loving shebang
- Collaborating on concept creation based on market and customer input
- Running product validations, FMEAs, and testing programs
- Ensuring DFM isn’t just a checkbox, but a mindset
- Creating BOMs, test reports, and documentation that are actually useful
- Researching new technologies and applying them to real product improvements
- Ensuring product safety and compliance with standards like CE, UL, and CSA
Your Engineering Toolbox Should Include:
- A degree in Electrical Engineering (or similar)
- 5+ years in an NPD-focused engineering role
- Hands-on experience with AutoCAD or SolidWorks Electrical
- Strong knowledge of HV, MV, and LV circuits
- Familiarity with systems like load banks, gensets, transformers, or grid-connected equipment
- Proficiency with Microsoft 365
- Professional Engineer (PE) status is a nice bonus but not essential
You Might Be Our Perfect Fit If...
- You’ve got the design experience and technical know-how to back it up
- You’re constantly looking for better ways to build and improve products
- You communicate clearly, even when things get complex
- You’re detail-driven, deadline-aware, and not afraid to take initiative
- You play well with others — especially across departments
What You May Not Love (But We’re Keeping It Real):
- There's a good amount of documentation and reporting involved
- You’ll need to work across multiple teams, and yes, that includes meetings
- Prototypes will sometimes misbehave, and plans will shift
- Compliance requirements are detailed and occasionally tedious
- This is a hands-on, all-in kind of role — you’ll be there from concept to completion
Why It’s Worth It:
- You’ll work on products that actually get built — and make a real impact
- Your input won’t get buried in a backlog — it’ll help shape what’s next
- You’ll join a team that cares about doing things right, not just doing them fast
- Every project is an opportunity to create something smarter, safer, and more efficient
