Electrical Design Engineer - PRIMARY RESPONSIBILITIES

  • Assisting the Production Works Supervisor with progressing contracts through Engineering & Works using the company's computer system and associated filing.
  • Communicating with cross functional project team members or departments and collaborate with suppliers and Group factories and Technical Departments as needed regarding product design and operation.
  • Progressing the electrical engineering of contracts including control circuit design, site wiring diagrams and associated documentation including compiling manuals.
  • Preparing & revising electrical and associated mechanical drawings including Circuit Diagrams and Panel Layout Drawings, and Site Wiring Diagrams.
  • Ensuring accurate information is gathered and presented to Contracts Engineers to ensure equipment compliance with design data within the framework of the Company's Quality Procedures and to enable the procurement and manufacture of equipment to fulfil contractual requirements.
  • Preparing and updating Technical Service Department documents including standard manual sections, instrument (e.g., temperature controllers / inverters) setup and datasheets & Technical Services Communications producing product and component selection and use information to colleagues in Contracts and Service Departments.
  • Assisting commissioning and service engineers in office and over telephone with onsite technical and electrical queries and troubleshooting as and when necessary.

    Electrical Design Engineer - EXPERIENCE
  • We are looking for a practical Engineering Professional ideally with experience in the process and practicalities of system design within an ISO 9001 quality driven business.
  • Experience would preferably be from within electrical engineering services with specific reference to steam or high temperature process heating applications, but other backgrounds will be considered. High voltage systems experience would be advantageous.
  • Use of AutoCAD in preparing Electrical Circuit Diagrams / P+IDs / GA drawings. Proficiency and experience with a dedicated Circuit Design Application, e.g., EPLAN or SEE Electrical would be a benefit.
  • Proficiency with MS Office suite of applications including SharePoint.
  • A track record in working on medium sized technology orientated, multi-disciplinary projects.
  • Excellent organisational and multi-tasking ability.

    QUALIFICATIONS:
  • Ideally you will have practical engineering skills plus a formal qualification (HNC/HND or Degree) in ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING or a related field. Experience of working in a similar job role is ideal. Longer experience may be considered as an advantage over academic achievement.

    COMMUNICATION SKILLS
  • Strong written English and verbal communication skills.
  • The ability to work within a team environment and to communicate clearly and effectively at all levels within the Company structure and with our customers and suppliers.

How to Get a Better Semiconductor Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in the semiconductor industry can be a shock—especially when your role is technical, precision-driven, and often tied to global supply chain dynamics. But with the UK government backing chip design and manufacturing through initiatives like the National Semiconductor Strategy, the future of the industry is strong. Whether you're a process engineer, chip designer, fabrication specialist, or semiconductor physicist, this guide will help you transition confidently into your next role.

Semiconductor Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why last year’s pay survey already fails UK chip talent Ask a Process Engineer tweaking plasma etch recipes at 3 a.m., a Verification Engineer draining simulation hours from an EDA licence, or a Power Device Physicist coaxing wide‑bandgap wafers out of an MOCVD reactor: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer swings faster than a stepper stage. Since early 2024, the UK announced a £1 billion National Semiconductor Strategy, Wales attracted a silicon carbide megafab, & supply‑chain re‑shoring dragged chip makers from Taiwan to Teesside. On the demand side, generative‑AI data‑centre GPUs vacuumed up every 2.5‑D packaging slot in Europe, while EV inverters devoured SiC MOSFET output. Each shock nudges salary bands. That renders any 2024 PDF salary guide obsolete—blind to Chester’s brand‑new photonics park, to Newport’s gigascale epi‑tool orders, or to Cambridge’s £200 million qubit‑foundry expansion. To drop guesswork & adopt evidence, SemiconductorJobs.co.uk has distilled a simple three‑factor formula. Feed in your discipline, UK region & seniority, and you’ll receive a realistic 2025 salary benchmark—no stale averages, no fuzzy “competitive” labels. This article walks you through the formula, spotlights the forces inflating chip‑industry pay, and sets out five actionable steps to raise your market value in the next ninety days.

How to Present Semiconductor Solutions to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

Semiconductors are the foundation of modern technology—from smartphones and solar panels to EVs and medical devices. But as the industry grows in complexity and global importance, the ability to communicate how these technologies work—and why they matter—has never been more essential. For job seekers in the semiconductor sector, clear communication is now a vital soft skill. Whether you're an engineer, researcher, product manager, or commercial specialist, your ability to explain semiconductor solutions to non-technical stakeholders can set you apart in job interviews and on the job. This guide will show you how to structure your presentations, simplify technical content, design effective visuals, and confidently address tough stakeholder questions in a way that builds trust, clarity, and impact.
