Electrical Designer

Electrical Designer - Semiconductor Division

Edwards are currently recruiting for an Electrical Designer to join the expanding Systems & Solutions team within the Semiconductor Division. Edwards is market leader within the Semiconductor industry and sits within the Vacuum Technique Business Area (VTBA) of Atlas Copco Group.

The Electrical Designer will be a key member within a highly motivated technical team developing and manufacturing complex systems and solutions for the semiconductor industry. With the support of the Lead Engineer, the Electrical Designer will play a pivotal role developing concept and design proposals for both power and control systems ensuring, understanding and alignment within both the immediate team and global stakeholders, during the full lifecycle of the development programme. The Electrical Designer will also be required to provide drawings, BOM’s, compliance documentation and technical support enabling the ’first of kind’ manufacture and offer key guidance during the subsequent handover of technology to our global NPI Teams. Due to the global nature of the role, it will require flexibility in working with different time zones across the globe and there may be some international travel.

The role is based at our Global Technology Centre and company headquarters in Burgess Hill, West Sussex, but flexible working is available. The Global Technology Centre is the global hub for all the divisions within the business, and is where the senior management team and global functions are based, including research and development, so is a perfect location for connecting with all parts of the organisation.

If you enjoy working within a highly dynamic and high performing team, then this opportunity may be for you. The role could be suitable for both a Senior Electrical Designer, or someone who is still developing their technical expertise, but essentially the successful candidate will be excited to be a part of our growth journey and keen to develop their skills and experience.
