• Operating in an engineering led, challenging, mechanical engineering position

Demonstrate knowledge of...

• Hybrid and electrical vehicle systems with experience in detailed mechanical component design and electrical system packaging.
• Deeper understanding of at least one field of electric machines, inverters or battery systems.
• Engineering first principles applied across multiple applications.

Success in this role will be if you… (deliverables)

• Convert your creative, innovative ideas into hardware that will make a difference to developing the technology of high performing products.
• Create and validate novel engineering design solutions, supported by right first time principles and analysis that meet demanding performance and cost targets.
• Create robust and versatile CAD models to demonstrate concepts, in both solids and surfaces, with engineering drawings to complement design release.
• Solve complex problems and analyse failures
• Write test requests, review results, and write technical reports
• Build strong inter-departmental working relationships - teamwork is critical to our success
• Champion best practices & procedures
• Liaise with internal and external suppliers as an integral part of a successful engineering journey

What you will get:

• Outstanding contract rate of pay plus shift allowance
