Systems Design Engineer
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.
