Candidates must ensure compliance with engineering standards and regulatory requirements, manage engineering changes, track programme blockers, support supplier validation, facilitate design maturity reviews, and provide regular reports to leadership. The engineer will also support prototype, pre-production, and launch phase vehicle builds. Required qualifications include a Bachelor's degree in engineering or a related field, experience in program/project management within automotive or related industries, knowledge of BEV systems and vehicle integration, and familiarity with tools like CCDS, RMDV, and DFMEA. Strong communication and problem-solving skills are essential. The role offers a competitive salary based on experience, UK work visa sponsorship for eligible candidates, pension scheme, 28 days holiday (including bank holidays), and the possibility of hybrid work arrangements.
