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?

Hybrid working with flexi-time
Strong engineering culture with long-term stability
Backed by a respected, family-owned international group
