About the company

I am currently recruiting on behalf of a Luxury Automotive OEM, based in Gaydon, seeking a Body Test Operations IPC Engineer to join their team.

Duties:

• The Body Test Operations (BTO) team is responsible for planning and managing physical prototype test properties that support the development and approval of body components for the Clients' programmes.
• These properties, often called 'rigs', typically consist of a painted body shell equipped with only the parts necessary for a specific test, rather than a fully assembled vehicle, and include supporting 'kits' of parts.
• For some new models in development, we are also planning, building, and managing numerous Instrument Panels & Floor Consoles (IP&Cs) assemblies to support development and sign-off testing.
• You will lead activities related to these IP&C properties.
• Responsibilities include (but are not limited to):
• Overall end-to-end coordination and responsibility for two models' worth of IP&C assemblies from planning to delivery.
• Gathering and consolidating requirements from engineering customers.
• Planning and managing Bills of Materials (BoM) for these assemblies, aligning them to build levels and part maturities.
• Coordinating parts ordering, managing flow and shortages, and resolving related issues, especially for unreleased content.
• Supporting property build, resolving issues, and coordinating logistics for test properties.
• Demonstrating robust Excel skills with an understanding of BoMs and CAD visualization.
• Having an engineering and testing background.
• Applying project management skills with strong cross-functional collaboration.
• Experience in automotive engineering build and/or testing.
