ABOUT THE PROGRAMME
Naran is developing a high value, low-volume internal combustion engine powered hypercar programme. We are looking for an Electrical Integration Engineer to join the team and develop the vehicle’s electrical and electronic systems, from prototype build and integration through to production. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing team in the early stages of creating a new and exciting car brand.
THE ROLE
Working as part of the Naran electrical team, as Electrical Integration Engineer, you will contribute to the integration, verification and hands-on build of the electrical and electronic systems across the labcar and the vehicle. Including power distribution, body control, lighting, HMI, instrumentation and the powertrain interfaces. This is very much a hands-on position, and you will work directly on the harness and the car, building, terminating, routing, commissioning and fault-finding, rather than engineering from a desk alone.
You will work closely with the wider engineering team and with our suppliers to specify, procure, build and prove out the vehicle’s electrical systems. As part of a small team on an early-stage programme, you will have the autonomy to define how the work is done, and the responsibility to see it through.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Own the integration and verification of the vehicle’s electrical and electronic systems, on the labcar and on vehicle including power distribution, body control, lighting, HMI, instrumentation and powertrain interfaces
- Work directly on the car and harness. Building, terminating, routing and commissioning wiring, and carrying out reworks by hand
- Help build, commission and maintain the labcar and other EE test rigs
- Verify harness builds against the pin-to-pin design, capture as-built records, implement reworks and feed corrections back into the design
- Create and execute Design Verification Plans (DVPs), including test plans, dry runs, fault injection and sign-off evidence
- Diagnose, configure and flash ECUs across the vehicle, working with diagnostic protocols and DTCs
- Debug problems end to end – across harnesses, connectors, CAN/LIN, software configuration and supplier component behaviour
- Characterise donor and supplier components. Determining pinouts, CAN behaviour and power-mode response when documentation is unavailable
- Support supplier and partner engagements by defining our requirements, reviewing what comes back and testing what arrives
- Work with vehicle-level requirements, challenging and proving them out, and feeding integration reality back into the architecture early
