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
