Job description
As a Senior Design Engineer, you will oversee complex projects, mentor junior engineers, and ensure high-quality designs meet customer specifications and industry standards. Some hybrid working is possible, though you will need to be close to the business during the initial stages., * Lead the design of subsea technology combining functions such as breathing gases, fluids, electrical power, communication, hydraulics, and pneumatics, for seismic, defence, subsea technology (e.g., Diving)
- Select and size functional components (hoses, cables, optical fibres), and determine lay-up, insulation and jacket materials, braiding, armouring, and overall configuration to meet customer specifications, industry standards, and in-house requirements.
- Write test specifications and qualification procedures for the subsea scenarios such as tension, torsion, compression, and cyclic bending, when required.
- Provide technical support to production teams during manufacturing to ensure quality and conformity to design.
- Investigate and resolve cable-related field failures or performance issues, implementing robust design improvements.
Requirements
·Bachelor's or higher degree in engineering, physics, or mathematics, or similar
·Experienced senior engineering designer using 2D CAD or 3DCAD / and /or solidworks
·Strong understanding of subsea technology, including seismic energy, renewable, and marine/diving applications in high-pressure environments.
·Sound knowledge of electrical theory (voltage stress, resistance, voltage drop, current rating, and heating effects), hydraulics/pneumatics (pressure drop, fluid mechanics), and mechanical engineering (materials, stress/strain, fatigue).
·Understanding of electrical cable design and construction, including cable geometry, helix angles, lay-lengths, and copper specifications.
·Proficient in 2D CAD software (preferably AutoCAD); proficiency in 3D CAD (SolidWorks) advantageous.
·Preferred: Exposure to ISO 9001 quality systems and experience in corrective action resolution.
·Experience with engineering documentation control systems (SolidWorks EPDM advantageous).
Be part of a growing, innovative team. Hybrid working flexibility for senior hires (locations in South East/Cambridge to be discussed). Career development and mentoring opportunities
