What you will do:
- Lead, mentor and develop a team of six engineers.
- Delegate work, manage priorities and monitor delivery against agreed objectives and KPIs.
- Act as the main technical contact for customers.
- Translate customer requirements into clear engineering tasks.
- Oversee HV system design, simulation, prototyping, validation and testing.
- Support the development and integration of HV battery and power distribution systems.

- Strong experience designing or developing electrified vehicle HV systems.
- Previous team-management experience, including delegation, mentoring and developing engineers.
- A degree in Electrical, Electronic, Mechanical or a related engineering discipline.
- Experience within an engineering consultancy, Tier 1, automotive OEM, motorsport or off-highway environment.
- Experience delivering systems from design through prototyping, validation and testing.
- A practical understanding of HV safety, diagnostics and issue resolution.
- Strong customer and supplier communication skills.
- The flexibility and agility to work across multiple fast-moving projects.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Experience across both HV batteries and PDUs would be valuable, but it is not essential to have equal depth in both areas. Candidates with strong wider electrified-vehicle HV systems experience will also be considered.
Experience in design for manufacture, BMS, HV battery integration, PDU/HVJB development, thermal management, DFMEA or relevant safety standards would be advantageous.
This is an excellent opportunity to broaden your engineering experience, shape a growing technical team and work across a varied range of electrification projects. For the right person, there may also be future progression into greater customer engagement and business development.
