Electrical Mechanical Design Engineer


Permanent | Office-Based | Engineering Environment


We're recruiting an Electrical Mechanical Design Engineer to strengthen an established engineering team working on low-voltage AC (LVAC) systems and power distribution equipment used within regulated, infrastructure-led applications.


This role is ideal for an engineer with a strong electrical background who enjoys working close to manufacture, understands standards and compliance, and wants to be involved across the full product lifecycle rather than purely desk-based design.


The Role

You’ll play a key role in the design and development of LVAC electrical systems, supporting both new product development and existing production activity.


Key responsibilities include:



  • Electrical design of LVAC systems, switchgear, or power distribution equipment
  • Producing and maintaining electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and technical documentation
  • Supporting new product introduction (NPI) from concept through to production
  • Ensuring designs comply with IEC / BS EN standards and internal quality procedures
  • Supporting manufacturing, assembly, testing, and commissioning activities
  • Assisting with fault investigation, root cause analysis, and design improvements
  • Liaising with mechanical engineers, suppliers, and other internal stakeholders
  • Occasional site visits for meetings, investigations, or support activities

What We're Looking For

  • Background as an Electrical Design Engineer or electrically biased Electro-Mechanical Engineer
  • Proven experience working with LVAC / low-voltage electrical systems
  • Exposure to switchgear, control panels, or power distribution equipment
  • Experience producing electrical schematics and wiring documentation
  • Understanding of engineering standards and compliance (IEC / BS EN)
  • Comfortable supporting designs through manufacture and production

Qualifications

HNC / HND or Degree in Electrical Engineering (or equivalent experience)


Desirable (Not Essential)



  • Rail or infrastructure project exposure
  • Experience in regulated or safety-critical industries
  • Knowledge of testing, commissioning, or fault-finding
  • Experience working in mixed electrical / mechanical engineering teams

Why Apply?

  • Join a technically focused team with strong engineering depth
  • Work on real-world LVAC systems, not consultancy-only design
  • Long-term, stable permanent role
  • Opportunity to influence designs from concept to manufacture

New Edge Computing Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Shaping Edge Innovation

Edge computing is transforming how data is processed by bringing compute power closer to the source of generation. With the proliferation of Internet of Things (IoT), real‑time analytics, autonomous systems, and latency‑sensitive applications, edge computing has moved from a niche discipline to a core component of digital infrastructure. In 2026, organisations that specialise in or heavily invest in edge computing are expanding their teams to build distributed systems, real‑time analytics platforms, and edge‑optimised AI. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.EdgeComputingJobs.co.uk , understanding which employers are growing, winning contracts, or securing investment is essential. This article highlights the new and high‑growth edge computing employers to watch in 2026, including UK startups, international innovators with a UK presence, and established companies shifting strategy toward edge.

How Many Edge Computing Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an Edge Computing Job?

If you’re trying to start or grow a career in edge computing, it can feel like you’re navigating a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms — Kubernetes, Docker, IoT frameworks, AWS Greengrass, Azure IoT Edge, OpenShift, TinyML toolkits, networking orchestration, real-time streaming frameworks, and on it goes. Scroll job boards and community forums and it’s easy to conclude that unless you master every buzzword imaginable, you’ll never get a job. Here’s the honest truth most edge computing hiring managers won’t necessarily say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every edge computing tool — they hire you because you can solve real system problems using the tools you know. Tools matter, yes — but only when they support clear outcomes: reliable systems, performance at scale, secure edge deployments and real business value. So how many edge computing tools do you actually need to know to secure a job? For most edge computing roles, the answer is fewer than you think — and a lot clearer when sorted by fundamentals and roles. This guide shows you what matters, what doesn’t, and how to focus your time wisely so you come across as capable, confident and employable.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Edge Computing Job Applications (UK Guide)

In today’s fast-evolving tech landscape, edge computing is one of the most sought-after fields — blending distributed systems, embedded systems, networking, cloud, IoT, data and real-time processing. But that also means hiring managers are highly selective. They scan applications fast and look for signals of relevance, impact, technical depth and real-world delivery long before they read every line. This guide demystifies what hiring managers in edge computing look for first in your application — so you can tailor your CV, portfolio and cover letter to jump out of the stack. Whether you’re targeting edge systems roles, embedded IoT edge jobs, edge-native data roles, edge platform engineering or edge-AI positions, this checklist will help you position your experience in a way hiring managers can trust immediately.
