Overview

Electrical / Electronic Engineers design, analyse and operate systems that generate, transmit, use or process electrical signals — from large‑scale power systems and substations through to tiny embedded electronics on circuit boards. Day‑to‑day work mixes circuit design (Altium, KiCad), embedded software (C, C++, MATLAB / Simulink), power‑systems modelling, hardware testing, and cross‑team collaboration with mechanical and software engineers. Most UK electrical engineers work towards Chartered Engineer status (CEng MIET) through the Institution of Engineering and Technology.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and analyse electrical and electronic systems
• Run circuit design, embedded systems, power electronics and signal‑processing work
• Specialise into power, electronics, telecoms, semiconductors or control systems
• Work for National Grid, BAE, Rolls‑Royce, ARM, Octopus Energy and tier‑one telecoms
