Principal Electrical Engineer

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

Robotics Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the UK robotics jobs market is in a strange but interesting place. On one hand, UK manufacturers, logistics firms and warehouses must automate to stay competitive, tackle labour shortages and meet productivity and net-zero targets. On the other hand, the UK still lags badly behind peers in robot adoption, with relatively low robot density in factories compared with other advanced economies – which is both a challenge and a massive opportunity. The National Robotarium +1 Add in AI, computer vision and edge computing, and you get a robotics landscape that is: More selective in hiring. More focused on real operational outcomes. More integrated with software, data and safety standards. Whether you are a robotics job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter building automation and robotics teams, this guide explores the key robotics hiring trends for 2026.

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

Summary: UK robotics hiring has shifted from toolbox checklists to capability‑driven evaluation that emphasises deployed systems, safety, reliability and total cost of ownership. Employers want proof you can ship and sustain robots in production—industrial arms & cobots, AMRs/AGVs, field robots, surgical/med‑tech, warehouse automation, inspection & maintenance. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews and how to prepare—especially for robotics software engineers (ROS/ROS 2), perception/vision engineers, controls & motion planners, mechatronics & embedded, safety & compliance, test/V&V, DevOps/SRE for fleets, and robotics product managers. Who this is for: Robotics software/perception/controls engineers, mechatronics & embedded, simulation & test, DevOps/SRE for robotics fleets, HRI/UX, safety/compliance, field/commissioning engineers, and product/technical programme managers in the UK.

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.
