The Electrical Design Engineer is responsible for designing, developing, and testing electrical systems and components for various projects. The role involves creating detailed electrical schematics, selecting components, ensuring designs meet regulatory standards, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure the successful completion of projects.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and Development: Create and develop electrical designs and schematics using CAD software (e.g., Solidworks Electrical, EPLAN).

  • Component Selection: Select appropriate electrical components such as relays, switches, transformers, circuit breakers, and other electrical devices.

  • Circuit Design: Design and develop electrical circuits for control systems, power distribution, and automation projects.

  • Prototyping and Testing: Build and test prototypes to validate designs, ensuring they meet performance and safety standards.

  • Documentation: Produce and maintain detailed electrical drawings, technical documentation, and bill of materials (BOM).

  • Compliance: Ensure designs comply with relevant safety standards and regulations (e.g., IEC, NEC, UL, IEEE).

  • Project Collaboration: Work closely with other engineers, project managers, and stakeholders to integrate electrical designs into larger systems.

  • Troubleshooting: Provide support for troubleshooting and resolving electrical design issues during manufacturing, installation, and commissioning.

  • Cost Optimization: Evaluate design options to ensure cost-effective solutions without compromising quality and performance.

    Qualifications:

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electrical Design, or a related field.

  • Experience: 3-5 years of experience in electrical design engineering or a related role.

  • Technical Skills:

    • Proficient in CAD software (e.g., AutoCAD Electrical, EPLAN, SolidWorks Electrical).

    • Strong knowledge of electrical schematics, circuit design, and electrical theory.

    • Experience with PLCs, control systems, and industrial automation is a plus.

    • Familiarity with relevant electrical codes and standards (e.g., IEC, NEC, IEEE).

  • Soft Skills:

    • Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.

    • Strong communication skills, both verbal and written.

    • Ability to work independently as well as in a team environment.

    • Good organisational and time-management skills.

      Preferred Qualifications:

  • Degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.

  • Professional Engineer (PE) certification or equivalent.

  • Experience with 3D modeling software.

    Additional Requirements:

  • Ability to travel occasionally for site visits, testing, or client meetings.

  • Strong attention to detail and a commitment to producing high-quality work.

    Benefits:

  • Competitive salary

  • Health, dental, and vision insurance (after 6 months service)

  • Opportunities for professional development and training

  • Monthly Team Lunches

Why Robotics Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Robotics used to be the domain of mechanical, electrical and software engineers. In the UK today, robotics is more than motors and control loops — it’s about perception, interaction, trust, regulation and integration into human environments. That evolution means robotics careers are becoming more multidisciplinary. Modern robots interact with people, collect data, operate under constraints, and often assist in safety-critical environments (healthcare, manufacturing, transport). So engineers now collaborate closely with legal, ethical, psychological, linguistic and design experts. In this article, we explore why UK robotics careers are evolving into multidisciplinary roles, how law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design intersect with robotics, and how job-seekers and employers can adapt to this shift.

Robotics Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Robotics Department

Robotics is transforming manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, agriculture, entertainment and more. In the UK, advances in robotics span autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), robotic arms, surgical robotics, drone systems, human-robot interaction, and collaborative robots (cobots). Building effective robotics systems requires not only strong hardware and software, but also finely coordinated teams with clear roles from research through deployment and maintenance. If you’re a candidate applying for robotics roles or an employer hiring through RoboticsJobs.co.uk, this guide will help you understand who does what in a mature robotics department, how the lifecycle of a robotics product works, what skills and qualifications UK employers typically expect, what salaries look like, common challenges, and best practices for structuring teams that deliver.

Why the UK Could Be the World’s Next Robotics Jobs Hub

Robotics is reshaping industries—manufacturing, health care, agriculture, logistics, and beyond. From industrial robots assembling vehicles to surgical robots assisting complex procedures, and from drone deliveries to autonomous inspection systems, the boundaries of what robots can achieve are expanding daily. With rising demand for automation, productivity, and intelligent systems, organisations both public and private are investing heavily in robotics technologies. This surge in adoption has triggered increased demand for professionals skilled in robotics engineering, AI-enabled control systems, hardware design, and integration. The United Kingdom possesses the essential components to become a global robotics jobs hub: world-class research institutions, innovative robotics firms, strong industrial bases, and supportive policy frameworks. This article explores why the UK is well-positioned, where demand is growing, the career paths emerging, and what must occur to fully establish robotics as a powerhouse in UK employment.
