HYBRID / REMOTE Perm

A growing and innovative engineering business operating at the forefront of subsea and offshore technology is looking to appoint a Senior Design Engineer (Electrical) to support a range of high-specification projects. This position combines electrical and mechanical design, with a strong focus on engineered connection systems (including cable-based assemblies, harnessing, and integrated electro-mechanical solutions).

As senior design engineer (electro-mechanical / electrical background) you would key role within a specialist engineering team, offering the opportunity to work on complex electro-mechanical systems used in demanding environments, including offshore energy and remotely operated applications in the cables sector.

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 (ROVs)

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
