Electrical / Electromechanical Design Engineer up to c60k + Bonus
South East Ref: ABJ6474ED
An Electrical / Electromechanical Design Engineer with a strong interest in manufacturing, you will be able to make an immediate impact and quickly operate effectively within the role, joining a rapidly growing global leader in subsea technology, supporting design projects in manufacturing, offshore energy, and high-pressure subsea technology sectors worldwide.
As a skilled and knowledgeable Design Engineer proficient in the design of cables you will be responsible for design, analysis and qualification of commercial cables that are critical to the performance and reliability of our customers offshore engineer and defence systems, and special purpose applications.
Working Arrangements
During the early stages, you will be required to work closely with the business, including time spent at the South East head office to support onboarding and integration into the team. Location near London, Cambridge and Bristol appropriate moving forwards.
Key Responsibilities
To lead projects in the design of cables (combining various functions such as breathing gases, other fluids, electrical power, communication, hydraulics and pneumatics), primarily for commercial diving applications but also for offshore engineer defence and other special purposes.
As an electrical design engineer, you will select and size functional components (hoses, cables, optical fibres) and their lay-up, plus selection of insulation and jacket materials, braiding, armouring and overall umbilical configuration, to meet the customers specification, applicable industry and classification requirements,
Writing test specifications and qualification procedures for the umbilical in the relevant customer-specified scenario (e.g. under tension, torsion, compression and cyclic bending), when needed.
Providing technical support to the production team during the manufacturing process, to ensure quality and conformity to design.
Investigating and resolving cable-related field failures or performance issues, and implementing robust design improvements into future cable designs.
Qualifications and Experience:
Bachelors or higher degree in engineering, physics, or mathematics, or similar
Experienced senior engineering designer using 2D CAD or 3DCAD / and /or solidworks
Of particularinterest would beexperience of ROV (remotely operated vehicles underthe sea / ground) or cable design
Be able to produce umbilical proposals, analyses and designs to meet customer requirements, under supervision; and to author the associated engineering documents and drawings.
Good understanding of subsea practice, technology, equipment and technical standards.
Sound knowledge of electrical theory (voltage stress, resistance and voltage drop, current and current rating, and related heating effects in air and water), hydraulics/pneumatics (pressure drop, fluid mechanics) and mechanical engineering (material science, stress and strain, fatigue).
Good understanding of the fundamentals of electrical cable design and construction, including cable geometry, helix angles, lay-lengths and copper specifications.
Understanding of electrical cable design and construction, including cable geometry, helix angles, lay-lengths, and copper specifications.
Preferred: Exposure to ISO 9001 quality systems and experience in corrective action resolution.
Experience with engineering documentation control systems (SolidWorks EPDM advantageous).
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)
