Warwickshire - Hybrid working
£40,000 - £60,000 DOE | No sponsorship available

VIQU has partnered with an established specialist vehicle engineering and manufacturing business to recruit an Automotive Systems Design Engineer. This is a hands-on role working across the full systems engineering life cycle as increasing vehicle complexity drives greater focus on systems architecture and integration.

You'll work from stakeholder requirements and high-level systems definition through electrical architecture, supplier integration, validation, commissioning and fault-finding.

Key Responsibilities of the Automotive Systems Design Engineer

Develop systems engineering solutions for vehicle platforms
Capture stakeholder functions, features, regulations and standards
Develop and document system requirements
Create vehicle systems architectures and topologies
Lead integration across communication, electrical and mechanical systems
Integrate Tier 1 supplier components into vehicle platforms
Produce electrical interconnection schematic diagrams
Support vehicle start-up, commissioning and fault-finding
Contribute to DVP&R and system acceptance requirements
Support rig and vehicle-based validation and verification
Review test outputs against system and vehicle requirements
Produce supporting documentation for production and aftermarket teams

Key Requirements of the Automotive Systems Design Engineer

3+ years' relevant industrial engineering experience
Degree in a relevant engineering subject
Strong working knowledge of automotive systems
End-to-end experience across the full V-model
Requirements capture and management experience
Vehicle systems integration and electrical architecture experience
Strong electrical engineering fundamentals
Ability to produce electrical interconnection schematics
Practical rig and vehicle testing experience
DVP&R and validation experience
Strong commissioning and fault-finding capability
Able to work independently and make engineering decisions
Strong technical communication and cross-functional collaboration skills

Experience with heavy vehicles, yellow goods, off-highway products, automotive control systems, CANbus, Functional Safety or ISO 26262 would be advantageous.

This Automotive Systems Design Engineer position would suit a generalist systems engineer who enjoys taking ownership across design, integration, validation and commissioning rather than specialising in a single stage of development.
