The role:
The specific role incumbent will develop an electrical control system that will be used to control the hydraulic flow through a positional valve. A design is to be produced that replaces an existing legacy product. Completing the design will involve:
• Generation of all circuit schematics that support production
• Enclosure design that meets Environmental Requirements and EMC
• Creating Test Plans & procedures to meet Functional Testing and Environmental Qualification
• Hands-on development work and later testing of the designed equipment
• Ensuring the technical drawing pack and supporting documentation is up to date.
• Reviewing documents and drawings for accuracy and errors.
This is a role for an experienced engineer working with a high level of developed knowledge in a specialist subject area. A proactive, results-focused engineer who owns and delivers, who champions high performance and is courageous to challenge the status quo when we need to do better. A self-motivated individual who can manage the delivery of engineering and technical activities, through the application of process, electrical and electronic engineering knowledge, and experience.
Required Experience:
Experience with electrical systems on submarine and/or surface ships would be an advantage, but general electrical, electronics (and occasionally software capability) and the willingness to learn and take on new challenges would also be suitable.
Required Qualifications / Attributes:
• Good, broad, electronic engineering knowledge.
• Engineering degree (or equivalent qualification) in relevant engineering discipline, with significant demonstrable experience.
• Experience working collaboratively in multi-discipline teams to deliver activities on a range of project types.
• Demonstrable experience in covering a variety of tasks across a range of complexities.
• Good communications skills and the ability to interface with other disciplines.
• Experience of Relay Logic and Analogue Control circuitry.
Skills which would be an advantage:
• Familiarity with Safety Integrity Levels and BS EN 61508 (desirable).
• Assessment of Availability, Reliability and Maintainability Requirements (desirable).
• Hydraulic control system experience (desirable).
• Familiarity with AutoCAD Electrical for generating and checking electrical circuit diagrams (desirable).
• Experience of Document Management Systems - ideally Teamcenter and Vault (desirable).
Security Clearance:
• BPSS
Who we’re looking for:
• Someone for whom collaboration and working in partnership comes naturally. A confident communicator with the ability to negotiate
• You will also be self-motivated with an energetic attitude, being able to transform complex problems into simple, elegant solution
• Capable of working across a portfolio of projects and business initiatives often at short notice. Someone who is an instinctive organiser with meticulous attention to detail, and who can motivate others to complete their actions so that the overall objectives are achieved
• Someone who understands ‘how’ you do things is just as important as ‘what’ you do – who will role model and apply our Principles (see below)
• A person who is resilient and adaptable, who can navigate ambiguity and complexity and help teams own and deliver day to day
