Job summary
Principal Electrical Design Engineer Stafford area £65-70k + benefitsThis is a chance to join a successful and expanding engineering and manufacturing company in Staffordshire.
Involves: Principal electrical design engineer
* Planning and coordinating team and project activities
* Developing and implementing engineering product development processes (e.g. APQP, PPAP, etc)
* Mentoring and guiding electrical design engineers
* Liaising with project managers, test, development, production, etc
As principal engineer you will work as a team leader of a small team of experienced engineers to develop electrical systems for power generating and energy storage products based around diesel, hybrid and hydrogen combustion engine technologies. You will be involved with the design and integration of electrical systems for new and existing products.
As principal engineer you will need good leadership, planning and coordinating skills and be able to mentor and guide engineers and develop engineering procedures and processes.
Required: Principal electrical design engineer
