Electrical Systems Engineer

Join a leading hybrid-electric aircraft programme as an Electrical Systems Engineer

Are you interested in contributing to the next generation of sustainable aerospace technologies? Would you like to support the development of hybrid-electric propulsion systems as part of a major UK government-backed R&D programme?

We’re working with a globally recognised aerospace organisation that is in the early phases of developing a hybrid-electric aircraft. This includes designing the energy storage, electric power distribution, and propulsion systems for a new, more-electric platform. As part of this, the team is looking to bring in a number of experienced Electrical Systems Engineers on a 12-month contract basis.

Your responsibilities will include:

Leading platform-level trade studies to help define and refine system-level electrical requirements.
Supporting the selection and development of electrical system architectures.
Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to deliver detailed system specifications and performance requirements.
Working with customers, partners, and suppliers to support the integration of emerging technologies and align with future capability needs.
Defining and executing strategies for system-level verification and validation.

We’re looking for candidates with:

A degree in Engineering (or equivalent), ideally with an electrical focus.
A strong understanding of how electrical systems interact with other subsystems.
Familiarity with systems engineering tools and techniques such as MBSE and DFMEA.
The ability to work collaboratively and influence technical direction within a team environment.
Preferably, prior experience across the full lifecycle of aircraft electrical power system development.
