Senior Electrical Engineer - (AC/DC power distribution systems experience needed!)


Location:Bristol (Hybrid - 3 days in-office)


We’re looking for an experienced Senior Electrical Design Engineer to join a leading engineering team specializing in Low Voltage Power Distribution Systems and Equipment for Electrical Applications. This team develops and delivers cutting-edge propulsion, power distribution, and automation solutions aimed at supporting naval and commercial marine clients globally.


About the Role:


As a Senior Electrical Design Engineer, you’ll be involved in the design, development, and testing of advanced electrical power systems tailored to meet stringent customer specifications. This is an opportunity to work on the next generation of naval power solutions as part of a dedicated, forward-thinking team.


Role description:


  • Lead the design and optimization of bespoke electrical power systems.
  • Apply sound technical judgment and identify solutions to complex issues in power distribution systems and equipment.
  • Provide technical guidance, mentoring, and coaching to a small team as needed.
  • Coordinate with cross-functional stakeholders, presenting complex technical ideas clearly and logically.
  • Drive testing and verification processes to ensure product readiness.
  • Author and review technical documentation, ensuring alignment with quality and performance standards.


Ideal Candidate Profile:


To thrive in this role, you’ll bring a strong background in electrical engineering, ideally within marine, defense, or related sectors.


  • Degree-qualified in Electrical Engineering or equivalent, with a strong foundation in electrical design.
  • In-depth knowledge of AC/DC power distribution systems, components, and sub-assemblies.
  • Ability to work autonomously across broad, complex areas, and to supervise junior team members.
  • Skilled communicator with excellent influencing abilities.
  • Committed to project deadlines, with a focus on quality and budget considerations.


Preferred Qualifications:


  • Familiarity with marine and electrical standards, such as IEC61439 and Def Stans.
  • Chartered Engineer status (or working towards).
  • Proficiency in design software like AutoCAD Electrical, MATLAB, Paladin, ETAP, or Mathcad.

Additional Information:


  • Clearance:Candidates must be eligible to obtain Security Check (SC) clearance.
  • Nationality Requirements:Due to the sensitive nature of the work, UK nationality is required (dual nationals subject to additional scrutiny).


This role is an excellent fit for those looking to contribute to groundbreaking power systems in a collaborative and supportive environment.

Maths for Machine Learning Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Machine learning job adverts in the UK love vague phrases like “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals”. That can make the whole field feel gatekept especially if you are a career changer or a student who has not touched maths since A level. Here is the practical truth. For most roles on MachineLearningJobs.co.uk such as Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer or MLOps Engineer with modelling responsibilities the maths you actually use is concentrated in four areas: Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Probability & statistics (uncertainty, metrics, sampling, base rates) Calculus essentials (derivatives, chain rule, gradients, backprop intuition) Basic optimisation (loss functions, gradient descent, regularisation, tuning) If you can do those four things well you can build models, debug training, evaluate properly, explain trade-offs & sound credible in interviews. This guide gives you a clear scope plus a six-week learning plan, portfolio projects & resources so you can learn with momentum rather than drowning in theory.

Neurodiversity in Machine Learning Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Machine learning is about more than just models & metrics. It’s about spotting patterns others miss, asking better questions, challenging assumptions & building systems that work reliably in the real world. That makes it a natural home for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a technical career. In reality, many of the traits that can make school or traditional offices hard are exactly the traits that make for excellent ML engineers, applied scientists & MLOps specialists. This guide is written for neurodivergent ML job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a machine learning context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to ML roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in ML – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine career advantage.

Machine Learning Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the machine learning jobs market in the UK is going through another big shift. Foundation models and generative AI are everywhere, companies are under pressure to show real ROI from AI, and cloud costs are being scrutinised like never before. Some organisations are slowing hiring or merging teams. Others are doubling down on machine learning, MLOps and AI platform engineering to stay competitive. The end result? Fewer fluffy “AI” roles, more focused machine learning roles with clear ownership and expectations. Whether you are a machine learning job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter trying to build ML teams, understanding the key machine learning hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.
