Permanent, Full-Time
Work on life-critical systems at the forefront of technology.
A global engineering leader is looking for a Senior Electrical Engineer with strong experience in PLC control systems to join their innovative team. You’ll contribute to a range of cutting-edge projects spanning multiple fields for both defence and commercial applications.
This is a hands-on engineering role where you’ll design and support control systems that operate in some of the world’s most demanding environments.
Key responsibilities:
- Design control systems using programmable logic controllers (PLCs) and industrial networks (e.g. Profibus, CANbus, Ethernet).
- Support new product development and field upgrades with robust, safety-critical engineering solutions.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams — including sales, production, and supply chain — to deliver technical excellence.
- Create and review engineering documentation: specifications, test procedures, assembly instructions, and certifications.
- Act as a technical authority on documentation and design standards, and mentor junior team members where needed.
What we’re looking for:
- Proven experience in electrical and electronics design, including HV/LV systems and power distribution.
- Skilled in Structured Text (ST) and other IEC (phone number removed) programming languages, preferably within CODESYS.
- Knowledge of EMC compliance, IEC 61508, and safety-critical systems.
- A methodical engineer who thrives in fast-paced environments and takes full ownership of their work.
Qualifications & experience:
- Degree in Electrical or Electronics Engineering (or equivalent practical experience).
- Experience designing control systems using PLCs and industrial automation networks.
- Proficiency with engineering software tools and electrical CAD packages.
- Experience with product lifecycle management systems (PLM) is an advantage.
- Background in battery systems up to 150 kWh and DC system design is a bonus.
This role is based near Glasgow and may involve occasional travel based on project requirements.
