Top Design Engineer Jobs in Glasgow

Leads digital design teams developing automotive in-vehicle networking transceivers. Defines block requirements and architectures optimized for area, power, timing, and functional safety; implements designs in SystemVerilog or Chisel; coordinates with architecture, analog design, verification, and validation teams; produces design documentation; and supports synthesis, timing closure, DFT, silicon debug, bring-up, and complete chip tape-outs.

Leads electrical design for hyperscale and mission-critical data centers across Europe. Responsibilities include managing HV/MV/LV systems, substations, utilities, consultants, permitting, project delivery, construction support, commissioning, and integrated systems testing. The role provides client-side technical leadership, reviews designs and project documents, coordinates multidisciplinary teams, manages risks and milestones, and ensures compliance with standards and operational requirements.

Leads electrical engineering design for large industrial, nuclear, and defence facilities. Responsibilities include designing HV/LV distribution and control systems, preparing drawings and technical specifications, performing electrical calculations, coordinating EC&I engineering teams, interfacing with safety and systems engineering teams, managing project costs and schedules, and reviewing technical deliverables. The role requires contracting and site experience, with occasional travel and hybrid work from Glasgow or Reading.

Lead the feasibility and detailed design of highway, traffic, active travel, cycle corridor, junction and public realm schemes. Produce and review drawings, geometric and drainage designs, cost estimates, bills of quantities, audits and contract documents. Manage consultants, budgets and programmes; coordinate stakeholders, developers and public authorities; support consultations and negotiations; ensure legislative and technical compliance; and mentor junior staff.

Designs and delivers highway, traffic, parking, active travel, drainage, and public realm projects. Produces AutoCAD drawings, technical documentation, specifications, cost estimates, quantities, and contract documents. Conducts site visits, inspections, and surveys while incorporating safety, accessibility, sustainability, and maintenance considerations. Collaborates with engineers, project managers, consultants, contractors, developers, public bodies, residents, and businesses throughout feasibility, detailed design, consultation, and construction.

Design structural repair solutions for buildings damaged by fire, flooding, and subsidence. Responsibilities include designing and specifying sub-structure schemes, producing CAD drawings, obtaining permissions, supporting sustainable and net-zero repair approaches, monitoring site work, engaging senior stakeholders, and training colleagues. The role primarily supports listed and historic buildings and requires strong communication, organization, technical judgment, and customer service skills.

Lead mechanical design for consumer electromechanical products from concept through production. Responsibilities include CAD modeling, prototyping, testing, thermal/fluid/structural analysis, cross-functional collaboration, DFM/DFA, tolerance analysis, and manufacturing ramp support in Asia. The role requires designing plastic, metal, and soft goods components integrated with sensors and actuators, supporting high-volume manufacturing, and traveling to China as needed.

Build and maintain frontend-leaning, full-stack Creative and Studio products using React and Next.js. Develop AI interfaces, UX/UI workflows, proof-of-concept products, integrations, and end-to-end features. Collaborate with Design, Engineering, Growth, and Sales; iterate based on user feedback; maintain scalable, secure infrastructure; process large datasets; and mentor less experienced engineers. The role emphasizes strong portfolio work and demonstrated software engineering ability rather than formal degrees or certifications.

As a Test Design Engineer, you will lead the design of test solutions for aerospace and defence systems, ensuring compliance with standards and customer requirements. You will collaborate with stakeholders and integrate testing systems throughout the product lifecycle.

Lead delivery and technical quality for HVDC projects including cable system modelling, rating calculations, routing and installation studies, converter station layouts, specifications, drawings, testing support, and mentoring junior engineers while supporting bid and business development activities.

The Electrical Design Engineer will develop electrical engineering designs for building projects, perform analysis, create technical drawings, and support project delivery while mentoring juniors.

The Staff Engineer leads analog and mixed-signal block design, conducts design reviews, mentors junior engineers, and develops methodologies for advanced technology applications.

Build production-quality, pixel-accurate UI components and interactions in React Native; prototype in Figma with designers; own the design system and component library; improve performance, animations, and cross-platform UI architecture; define design-to-dev tooling and collaborate across design and engineering.

Produce temporary works designs for excavation support, propping, formwork and falsework. Check designs to BS5975:2019, prepare drawings, attend client meetings and site visits, review briefs from sales, manage workload, and contribute to continuous improvement projects.

The Mobile UI/Design Engineer will enhance the Kraken app's UI with fluid, gesture-driven interactions in React Native, optimizing for performance and mentoring other engineers.

Design and implement user-facing features by combining high-quality visual design and frontend engineering. Improve and expand the design system, build flexible components, collaborate with Product Engineers, ship to users quickly, iterate from feedback, and support customer-facing issues. Work spans wireframing, UI implementation, and end-to-end technical delivery.

Design and implement polished UI/UX at scale, improve and extend the design system, collaborate with product engineers, ship end-to-end features, iterate with user feedback, and consult on bespoke design work while balancing visual design and engineering responsibilities.

Design and simulate transistor-level analog/mixed-signal IC blocks (amplifiers, converters, power circuits), define architectures, integrate blocks into mixed-signal systems, present results to teams/customers, support layout, lab evaluation and test, mentor others, and improve design methodologies to meet power, timing and functional objectives.

Provide technical leadership for polymer component design and analysis, interfacing with customers and cross-functional teams. Lead design proposals, generate/approve drawings and test/validation plans, perform failure analysis, support material disposition and continuous improvement, mentor junior engineers, and represent the company in technical meetings and presentations.
