- Apply sound electrical engineering principles to develop robust, compliant, and manufacturable design solutions aligned with programme targets.
- Create and maintain key engineering documentation such as system design, schematics, harness drawings, BOMs, specifications, interface definitions, and change records
- Assist in the testing, validation, benchmarking, and investigation of Triumph and competitor electrical systems and components
- Work closely with cross-functional teams including mechanical design, manufacturing, test, purchasing, quality, and external suppliers to ensure designs are fully integrated and production-ready
- Support the delivery of designs through defined project milestones, contributing to planning, design reviews, risk assessments, and issue resolution
- Ensure all work is completed in accordance with established engineering processes, technical standards, and regulatory requirements
- Support prototype and production introduction activities, including fault diagnosis, design updates, and continuous improvement actions
- Carry out any additional engineering or project-related tasks as requested by your manager.
