Our Barnstaple facility is located in North Devon. Founded in 1948, the site now employs approximately 160 employees and features the Aero Stanrew brand of electromagnetic components, printed-circuit board assemblies, cabinet wiring and electronic test equipment for safety critical applications in aerospace and defence, industrial and transportation industries.

Here, employee engagement is centre stage; we’re focussed on our employees and making TT a great place to work. We continue to invest and improve the site’s facilities, regularly get involved in fundraising for local charities, have an active social club and a group wide focus on ‘Build Expertise’ in science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) subjects,  developing our current employees and encouraging others to join our industry.

In addition to adopting a great working atmosphere, we are also pleased to offer a comprehensive range of employee benefits including:

• Discounted Gym membership
• Life assurance
• Fresh fruit and hot drinks
• Cycle to work scheme
• Company share-save scheme (eligible after a qualifying period)
• Contributory pension scheme
• Medical Cover
• Performance related Incentive Bonus Scheme

TT Barnstaple are currently trialling a 4-day working week and during that time you can either opt in or out of the pilot. hours of work available are:

OPT IN -  Monday to Thursday 7.15am to 5.30pm.
OPT OUT - Monday to Thursday 8am to 5pm/Friday 8am to 1pm

We are seeking a power electronics engineer with knowledge in magnetics design and development. You will provide the specialist knowledge in detail design of magnetic components and sub-assemblies but will work as an integral part of our engineering team, and will have opportunity to be involved in the development of the wider systems. TT Electronics is working to develop both technologies and products for the next generation of aerospace and defence applications. This role will give the right individual great opportunity to be involved in all aspects, interacting with our customers and strategic partners, including Universities, while also working closely with our factory operations team to ensure smooth transfer of products into production.

Notes:

There is flexibility in the location of this role and a level of hybrid working will be possible. The position can potentially be nominally based from our sites in Nottingham, Barnstaple or the Oldham/Rotherham area. Occational travel between these sites is expected.

While this is a senior role for which we are ideally seeking an experience magnetics designer, for the right candidate with relevant adjacent experience and/or higher qualifications, we would consider offering this position as a development opportunity.  

Responsibilities include:

• Review of customer or internal specifications to determine the optimal magnetic solutions for products. This will include full product compliance with environmental requirements
• Develop magnetic components, typically for power or comms electronics (filters, chokes, transformers, etc)
• Write the magnetic sections of customer proposals and take ownership of all compliance matrix responses of magnetic aspects of the final product
• Develop magnetic solutions for products by studying customer requirements, liaising closely with internal and external customers to agree magnetic performance
• Model magnetic solutions concepts; create representative models and simulations.
• Create 2D drawings for use in quoting and production; work with the configuration management team, providing support and compliance guidance
• Support all magnetic aspects of product design reviews
• Confirm product integrity and performance by developing test plans and procedures for design assurance testing and qualification testing
• Develop high level manufacturing test plans that can be used by Test Engineers at the manufacturing sites.
• Provide magnetic design support for product failures, involving collecting, analyzing, and summarizing information and trends in products and then reporting findings to key stakeholders
• Continued personal, professional and technical development to ensure you remain up-to-date with development in the field.
• Identify opportunities to improve our products and processes and actively engage in creation and management of the technology roadmap for magnetics
• Operate effectively and responsively as a team player, providing engineering information to key stakeholders, freely sharing expertise
• Provide supportive advice, coaching and mentoring technicians and junior engineers
• Protect product and company reputation by complying with all relevant regulations and standards.
• Comply with all HSE requirements related to the role and work towards a zero-harm culture 

Ideal Qualifications and Experience

• A good degree or higher degree in Electrical and/or Electronic Engineering or closely related discipline.
• Electro-magnetic design experience
• > 5 years appropriate industry experience
• Relevant analysis, modelling and simulation skills
• Requirements Analysis
• Clear and Concise Communicator of Technical Information
• Good 3D visualizer
• General Production Knowledge.
• Must be able to qualify for UK security clearance
• Advantageous to have experience in the Aerospace and Defence industry
