Electrical Controls Design EngineerLocation -Surbiton, South West London, and some travel may be required for site work.Our client is an early-stage, cleantech company formed to commercialise our novel, patented compressor technology. Our vision is to make a meaningful dent in global CO2 emissions by pioneering the electrification of industry with disruptive heat pump products.The core technology is a turbo-compressor simplified. It operates at greatly reduced speeds without oil, yielding lower manufacturing, operating and maintenance costs. We have developed a full-scale industrial heat pump pre-production product that was pilot tested at an industrial site throughout 2025. Recently Series A investment has been secured to scale the business and deliver further high temperature heat pump products to industrial end users.About the PositionWe are looking for a full-time Controls Engineer with complementary electrical engineering experience to lead these activities at Futraheat. The role will be responsible for all aspects of control system delivery, from defining the strategy, through programming, to implementation, test-validation and long-term evaluation and monitoring. The role will be hands-on and require practical electrical engineering knowledge and experience for electrical panel design and build, and general test-rig and product electrical installation work.As an early-stage company our roles are broad, will evolve as we progress from core technology to mature product, and will suit those who are flexible, creative and pro-active.Some of the capabilities and duties required include:Electrical engineering analysis, calculation and simulationElectrical assembly, commissioning and testing of productsDesign, build and commissioning of electrical cabinets and enclosuresDesign of control systems, including software development for industrial PLCs (Siemens or equivalent) and National Instruments LabVIEWExperience with the Internet of Things (IoT)Simulation of control systems using MATLAB Simulink/Simscape or similarCommissioning and testing of motors, compressors and heat pumpsEngineering documentation and report writingKnowledge of and/or qualification in relevant industrial electrical standards is desirableSupporting business development by running demonstrations for clientsInstallation and testing of new products at industrial sites requiring periods of off-site workingExperience working with high-speed rotating machinery and complex systems is desirableSystems we use include SolidWorks, AutoCAD, ANSYS, MATLAB and LabVIEW.QualificationsA Bachelor's degree (or higher) in Electrical engineering or a closely related discipline.
