This is an opportunity to join a highly capable systems engineering function, working end-to-end on the design, integration, validation and commissioning of complete vehicle systems.

Systems engineering development across complex vehicle platforms

Requirements capture, management and documentation (V-model)

Creating system architectures, topologies and electrical interconnection schematics

Leading multi-system integration (electrical, mechanical & communications)

Supporting DVP&R, validation, verification and on-vehicle testing

System start-up, commissioning and fault finding

Producing technical documentation for production and aftermarket teams

What We’re Looking For

Degree-qualified in a relevant engineering discipline

Strong systems engineering experience within automotive, off-highway, heavy or complex electromechanical products

Solid understanding of system integration, requirements management and validation

Experience with electrical principles, schematics and vehicle/system testing

Confident communicator who can work cross-functionally and with suppliers

Desirable experience includes CANbus, ISO 26262, functional safety, off-highway vehicles or control systems.

Why Apply?

Work on complete vehicle systems, not siloed components

Hybrid working with flexi-time

Strong engineering culture with long-term stability

Backed by a respected, family-owned international group

Clear scope for technical growth and progression
