A leading maritime systems integrator is seeking a System Design Engineer to join their multidisciplinary engineering team. This is a fantastic opportunity to work across high-impact defence and commercial projects, supporting the design and delivery of advanced communications and control systems for complex operational environments.
Key Responsibilities
- Produce high-quality electrical and mechanical drawings (2D/3D) for maritime, defence, and critical systems projects.
- Translate rough concepts into fully defined engineering drawings and STEP files to ISO and BS8888 standards.
- Contribute to system-level designs involving control panels, 19” rack layouts, and enclosure manufacturing.
- Ensure compliance with industry standards, including EMC, LVD, BS7671, and the Electricity at Work Act.
- Support equipment and system documentation in line with EU directives and safety requirements.
- Collaborate closely with engineering, project, and customer teams to ensure designs meet functional and compliance needs.
Requirements
- HNC/HND, apprenticeship, or equivalent in electrical/electronic or systems engineering.
- Minimum 4–5 years of experience in electrical/systems design and mechanical drafting.
- Proficient in CAD tools (AutoCAD or equivalent); experience with Electrical CAD packages like SEE Electrical or ETAP is a plus.
- Strong understanding of electrical design principles, manufacturing methods, and material properties.
- Experience working within regulatory and compliance frameworks (BS7671, EMC/LVD standards).
- Confident working autonomously and balancing multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
- Eligible for or already hold SC (Security Check) clearance.
Why Apply?
This is an excellent opportunity to be part of a forward-thinking engineering team working on mission-critical systems for maritime and defence sectors. You’ll take ownership of meaningful design work, contribute to innovative projects, and help shape how cutting-edge technology is delivered in real-world environments.
