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
