ELECTRICAL DESIGN ENGINEER

The Electrical Design Engineer will design and develop electrical solutions for robot-based, electromechanical systems for use in factory and process automation. Working collaboratively across departments, the Company will rely on your electrical knowledge and expertise to design safe and effective solutions for their clients.

You will ideally have used EPLAN electrical design software and have experience designing industrial control cabinets. Whilst you will be predominantly designing, you may be required to join our workshop team on occasion to get stuck in, fault-find, and identify solutions. Therefore, having previous experience of electrical building would be highly advantageous.

The role will involve travel to client sites in the UK, within the defence and aerospace sectors. As a result, the successful candidate will need to be a UK citizen.

About you

  • Degree/HND/HNC in electrical engineering or equivalent qualifications and/or experience

  • Previous experience within an electrical design role, or a role that has required a reasonable degree of electrical design

  • Proficient in the creation of Electrical Schematics

  • EPLAN

    Benefits

  • Generous overnight allowances and expenses when you are working away.

  • A flexible working environment

  • 25 days holiday + bank holidays

  • Occupational sick pay

  • Company pension

Space Industry Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK space‑sector hiring has shifted from pedigree‑first screening to capability‑driven evaluation across the full stack—spacecraft systems, payload/RF, flight software, GNC/ADCS, propulsion, structures/thermal, AIT (assembly–integration–test), mission/ground operations, reliability/radiation, and compliance (ECSS, export control). Employers want proof you can build, test, operate and scale space systems safely and economically. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for satellite/spacecraft engineers, payload & RF/MM‑wave, flight & ground software, GNC/ADCS, power/thermal, AIT/test, mission ops, data/EO, and space product/TPM roles. Who this is for: Systems engineers, payload/RF engineers, flight software & FDIR, GNC/ADCS, power/thermal/structures, propulsion, AIT/test, reliability/radiation, QA/compliance, ground segment/cloud, mission operations, EO/data processing, and product/programme managers targeting roles in the UK space ecosystem.

Why Space Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

The UK’s space sector is growing fast — from satellite systems and Earth observation to satellite communications, space robotics, propulsion, space data analytics, and mission operations. But the nature of space work is changing. Projects involving satellites, launch systems, space robotics and ground infrastructure are now embedded in regulation, public perception, human interaction and cross-disciplinary design. Space careers in the UK used to be dominated by engineers, astrophysicists, systems analysts and telemetry experts. Today, they increasingly demand fluency not only in aerospace, software, electronics & data, but also in law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. After all, space systems operate under treaties, privacy constraints, public scrutiny, international collaborations and human interfaces. In this article, we explore why space careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how those allied fields intersect with space work, and what job-seekers & employers must do to thrive in this evolving cosmos.
