Key Notes
Space allocation and electrical harness design are the main focus of this permanent Derby engineering post, advertised at £45,000 depending on experience; Alstom does not expect candidates to have every listed skill. The work uses Space Allocation Mock-ups, supplier design exchanges and installation deliverables. A mechanical engineering degree or equivalent experience is listed; railway design experience and Electrical Workbench training are desirable.
What You'll Work On
- Maintain Space Allocation Mock-ups from electrical engineering inputs, incorporating design constraints and the required progression of model maturity.
- Develop three-dimensional parts and harness designs, defining interfaces and exchanging annotated models with suppliers during technical design discussions.
- Prepare installation drawings and change requests, checking supplier responses and engineering tasks against the agreed spatial and technical requirements.
Why This Role Matters
- Electrical equipment must fit its allocated space; supplier feedback is checked against the mock-ups before detailed parts and harness designs advance.
- Installation documents turn the agreed design into manufacturable parts, with maintainability constraints and engineering changes addressed within the technical definition process.
What They Are Looking For
- Qualification: A mechanical engineering degree or equivalent experience is sought.
- Technical: Three-dimensional modelling, CATIA V5 or similar, and Enovia or another PLM system are sought.
- Language: Basic English for technical reading, writing and meetings is sought.
- Preferred: Heavy industry experience, railway design experience and Electrical Workbench training are preferred or desirable.
