Join a leading hybrid-electric aircraft programme as an Electrical Systems Engineer Are you interested in contributing to the next generation of sustainable aerospace technologies? Would you like to support the development of hybrid-electric propulsion systems as part of a major UK government-backed R&D programme? We’re working with a globally recognised aerospace organisation that is in the early phases of developing a hybrid-electric aircraft. This includes designing the energy storage, electric power distribution, and propulsion systems for a new, more-electric platform. As part of this, the team is looking to bring in a number of experienced Electrical Systems Engineers on a 12-month contract basis. Your responsibilities will include: • Leading platform-level trade studies to help define and refine system-level electrical requirements., • Supporting the selection and development of electrical system architectures., • Collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to deliver detailed system specifications and performance requirements., • Working with customers, partners, and suppliers to support the integration of emerging technologies and align with future capability needs., • Defining and executing strategies for system-level verification and validation. We’re looking for candidates with: • A degree in Engineering (or equivalent), ideally with an electrical focus., • A strong understanding of how electrical systems interact with other subsystems., • Familiarity with systems engineering tools and techniques such as MBSE and DFMEA., • The ability to work collaboratively and influence technical direction within a team environment., • Preferably, prior experience across the full lifecycle of aircraft electrical power system development. Contract details: • Inside IR35, • Paid via PAYE or umbrella company, • Competitive rates available, • 37 hours per week, • Hybrid working: 3 days on site per week, • UK working rights required, • BPSS clearance required prior to starting If you’re interested in learning more, apply now or get in touch with Charles Orr at or on +44 117 450 6704.
