Job Description

Overview

In our Power Systems and Software Department, we are seeking a skilled Senior Electrical Systems Design Engineer to lead the Systems Verification Engineering team responsible for testing and troubleshooting an entirely new business jet electrical power distribution system within our Electrical Power Integration Centre (EPIC).

This is a great opportunity to join our Aviation Power business during an exciting new program and work on developing safety-critical software for the system.

You will be passionate about ensuring high-quality requirements, architecting a design to meet those requirements that stand the test of time, and thriving on solving technical problems in collaboration with other engineering functions.

We are committed to improving our project execution through taking a lean and innovative approach to problem-solving and continuous improvement. Our team shares technical knowledge and lessons learnt with others in the department and across the wider engineering organisation.

The Role/Essential Responsibilities

As a Senior Electrical Systems Design Engineer, you would help manage the nascent requirements and interfaces, creating initial design baselines to feed the software, hardware, and test teams.

Effective management of changes coming from the customer, including supporting project technical leadership, is essential for this role.

The main focus of the current project is on the development of a Lab environment suitable for troubleshooting and testing a business jet electrical power distribution system.

You will use your Systems Engineering knowledge to help de-bug software via systems test results analysis, design in modifications into the systems lab environment, and perform hands-on testing to expand on your knowledge of test equipment and processes for working safely in high power environments.

Qualifications / Requirements

  • Previous experience in an aviation, automotive, or similar embedded systems development environment is helpful as it demonstrates understanding of working to rigorous industry-mandated development standards.
  • An appropriate degree or HND in Engineering, Mathematics, Applied Physics, or similar subject, or equivalent experience shows a logical mindset, alongside good problem-solving and solution-building skills.
  • Experience of the systems design lifecycle will help you in activities such as capturing, understanding, and documenting the customer's system and testing requirements.
  • A good appreciation of baseline management is essential.
  • Knowledge of different verification strategies and test equipment will aid in creating, updating, and performing systems tests – be it script-based automated tests, or writing procedures for manual actions.
  • Knowledge of test infrastructure and design of testing facilities is key to success in this role.

Flexible Working

We support and encourage flexible working arrangements, where possible, and recognise the benefits to employees of having a positive work-life balance.
