Electrical Circuit Designer

A leading organisation within the aerospace and advanced engineering sector is seeking an Electrical Circuit Designer / Functional Electrics Engineer to support a major design and digital transformation programme.

This role sits within a highly collaborative engineering environment and will contribute to both legacy and next-generation product development.

This is an excellent opportunity for an experienced contractor to work on complex electrical design activities within a regulated engineering environment.

Key Responsibilities

• Review and validate electrical installation design data to ensure suitability for manufacture, in line with defined design processes and standards.


• Interpret system-level inputs and validate wiring architecture documentation at a system architecture level (e.g.
  
  fuel and landing gear perimeters).


• Validate functional electrics to electrical installation configuration documentation.


• Support the delivery of technical solutions in line with agreed design methods, procedures, and project milestones.


• Analyse and validate design requirements, managing deviations with relevant stakeholders where required.


• Produce and update Principle Diagrams (PDs), Extended Principle Diagrams (EPDs), and Wiring Diagrams (WDs) based on functional system inputs.


• Update design outputs to reflect new or amended functional requirements using recognised electrical design toolsets.


• Work collaboratively across multiple engineering and project functions to achieve right-first-time delivery.


• Identify, manage, and escalate technical risks as appropriate.

Skills & Experience Required

• Proven experience in Functional Electrics and electrical system integration within complex engineering environments.


• Background in participating in design or project teams with delivery against time, cost, and quality targets.


• Strong communication skills with the ability to interpret and convey technical information clearly.


• Experience analysing complex requirements and developing practical, compliant solutions.


• Comfortable working within a multi-stakeholder, regulated environment.


• Experience using electrical configuration and design tools such as:
  
  
  
  • Capital (Logic)
  
  
  • SeeXP / Circe
  
  
  • ICC / ACP
  
  
  • Zamiz / ECM
  
  
  • DPDS
  
  
  • ACC2
  
  
  • BCAWD
  
  
  • Optegra / PASS / VPM
  
  
  
  


• Prior approval or delegated signatory experience is desirable but not essential.


• Experience within aerospace or similarly regulated industries is advantageous; candidates from other sectors will be considered.


• Fluent written and spoken English.
