Systems Design Engineer

Location: Rocester

Systems Design Engineer Staffordshire, UK £45 - 55k + benefits

This role would probably suit an engineer with 3-5 years of industry experience or more.

The role will involve full lifecycle (V model) systems engineering activities including the capture and development of customer requirements into functional requirements and specifications, systems integration activities and the development of test and validation requirements in conjunction with development and test teams.

You will be working to develop subsystems and new product features for off-highway vehicles / machinery.

Key experience required:

* Systems architecture definition – electromechanical systems, control engineering, etc

* Safety analysis and FMEA

* Ability to develop and produce detailed software requirements,

* Able to develop test and validation requirements

A background in design / development or systems engineering would be preferred (e.g. electronics, software, mechatronics etc) ideally gained within the off-highway machinery, special vehicles, military vehicles or similar industry. Breadth of experience is more important than specialism.

Required experience / knowledge:
Systems design Engineer

* 3-5+ years of post-academic experience gained within the off-highway machinery, special vehicles, military vehicles or similar (ideally involving mechatronic / control systems).

* A degree in a relevant field (e.g. electronics, computer science, mechatronics, automotive engineering)

* Systems architecture definition – electromechanical systems, control engineering, etc

* Safety analysis and FMEA

* Ability to develop and produce detailed software requirements (use of Matlab / Simulink)

* Able to develop test and validation requirements

* Product development experience and ability having spent time on the design, development or test of complex electromechanical systems (e.g. off highway machinery, agricultural / construction machinery)

* Experience of systems design, the systems engineering cycle (V model) and capturing requirements from customers.

* Good practical engineering aptitude (e.g. software or hardware integration, hands-on problem solving, development of systems in a lab / workshop)

* Formal training within systems engineering would be useful

* Strong organisational, communication and creative problem solving skills

The role will be hands-on including integration activities (hardware / software) to ensure product features and systems meet product requirements. This will require engineering design / development knowledge but an appreciation for the greater system.

The company designs and manufacturers a range of vehicles and machinery for the construction and agricultural industry. These machines include electric vehicle technologies as well as conventional powertrains, hybrid and hydrogen engines. In addition, some of the products include autonomous systems, collision avoidance / ADAS systems, hydraulic control, etc. In short you can be exposed to a variety of technologies.

This systems design engineer role is based onsite and is commutable from Rocester, Stoke on Trent, Derby, Nottingham, Birmingham, Uttoxeter, Stafford, and Burton
