Electronic Systems Engineer

Full time

Derby, Onsite with flexible working (In office 3 days a week, WFH 2 days a week)

Multiple exciting opportunities have arisen for Electronic Systems Engineers to work on the new generation of Submarine power electronics.

The power systems teams are responsible for the end-to-end design of the reactor power systems control from top level plant requirements, through vendor product design, and finishing off with system verification. There are opportunities in various areas of systems design and the successful candidates will be aligned to their strengths. The power systems team provide direct supply chain support to develop and approve the design solution. Additional support is provided to the shipbuilder through build and commissioning documentation and issue resolution.

We’re a leader in propulsion system design and development for the Royal Navy’s nuclear submarine fleet and the sole provider and technical authority.

Join us and we’ll provide an environment where you can be yourself. An inclusive, digital-first culture that invests in you, gives you a platform for continuous learning, and access to an incredible breadth and depth of opportunities to grow your career.

We offer excellent development, a competitive salary and exceptional benefits. These include bonus, employee support assistance and employee discounts.

Your needs are as unique as you are. Hybrid working is a way in which our people can balance their time between the office, home or another remote location.  It’s a locally managed and flexed informal discretionary arrangement.  As a minimum we’re all expected to attend the workplace for collaboration and other specific reasons, on average three days per week.

What you will be doing:

You will be responsible for designing the power systems that control the reactor plant. Additionally, you will be:

• Specifying product level requirements and working with vendors to ensure these have been met.
• Verifying the final product against the original design requirements
