We are seeking an experienced Automotive Electrical Systems Senior Engineer who design and build electrical systems where we need bespoke components like harnesses or high/ low voltage integrations.

You'll be working alongside a more junior Electrical Engineer, so you'll have more ownership of the overall electrical architectural design, ensuring that our electrical systems are suitable for production at scale.

Over the coming months we have ambitious goals towards ramping up production and increasing the number of trucks in market significantly. This will require a more strategic approach. You'll need to put processes in place that are effective as we move into batch production.

You'll provide a crucial interface with other cross functional teams, to ensure that we are aligned with the roadmap maintained by the central truck team.

The role will also include a wider remit of:

• Facilitating a culture of innovation and continuous improvement that values experimentation and learning to drive growth and innovation.
• Provide guidance and mentorship to Powertrain team members where appropriate to support the Team Lead, empowering team mates to make their own judgments and take ownership of their work.
• Fostering an environment of collaboration and cross-functional teamwork to ensure alignment and successful delivery of our products.
• Continuously evaluating and refining OX Global's practices, tools, and processes, and making recommendations for improvements where necessary.
• Developing and maintaining relationships with key stakeholders, including customers, partners, and vendors, to stay up-to-date on emerging trends and technologies in the market.
• Attending and contributing to team Sprint meetings

• The most important factor is that you already have significant experience working on EV electrical architecture systems.
• You'll have experience working on both high and low-voltage distribution.
• Ideally you have designed test and release processes on past projects.
• You'll need to be solution-oriented and demonstrate a can-do attitude.
• If you've not worked in agile teams before you'll need to show an understanding of this approach and an enthusiasm to adopt it.
• Given the market we operate in, as well as the others we plan to expand to, an understanding of emerging markets such as Rwanda would be advantageous.

At OX we have an exciting vision to drive trade in emerging markets. We enable farmers and entrepreneurs to use zero-emissions electric transport for the first time; helping them to grow their businesses and increase their incomes.
