You’ll lead fault investigations, support drawing and assembly checks and mentor student engineers.

Key responsibilities

• Create conceptual and detailed designs for vehicle components and structures.
• Develop lightweight, structurally efficient, cost-effective solutions with a keen eye for mass, stiffness and performance trade-offs.
• Produce supporting structural and functional calculations.
• Collaborate closely with aerodynamics, vehicle science, electronics, chassis, stress, transmission, R&D, production and external suppliers.
• Lead fault investigations and implement timely, robust fixes.
• Support drawing and assembly checking, and provide Class 5 sign-off with stress engineering.
• Mentor student placements and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives.

What you bring

• Strong understanding of engineering design for composite components and assemblies, aligned with industry standards.
• Excellent CAD skills and experience using engineering software for vehicle design (Siemens NX a bonus; training available).
• Demonstrable project-management experience and superb attention to detail under pressure.
• Degree in Mechanical, Automotive, Aerospace, Marine or a closely related engineering discipline.
