Job description
As an experienced electrical design engineer, you will play a central role in the design and development of critical connection systems cables and assemblies that support performance, reliability, and safety in challenging subsea conditions like remotely operated vehicles (ROV's) Remote / Hybrid working is available following an initial onboarding period, during which time you will spend time on-site to integrate with the team.Key Responsibilities
- Lead the design of electro-mechanical cable systems, including power, signal, and fibre-based solutions
- Develop specifications based on customer requirements and operational environments
- Produce technical documentation, calculations, and design outputs
- Define and support testing and validation activities under real-world conditions (e.g. mechanical stress, environmental exposure)
- Collaborate with manufacturing teams to ensure designs are delivered effectively
- Investigate and resolve performance issues, feeding improvements into future designs
- Support customer-facing teams with technical input where required
