Automotive Electrician

Key Responsibilities

• Lead component and system design: produce and review CAD models, create BOMs and tolerance stacks, specify materials and manufacturing methods, and translate vehicle requirements into engineering deliverables.
• Develop and run simulations and analyses: perform FEA, NVH, thermal and durability analyses using CAE tools; validate designs against targets and iterate with rapid prototyping where required.
• Create and execute test plans: author test procedures for bench and vehicle testing, perform instrumented tests (dyno, track, road), collect/interpret data, and verify that systems meet functional, durability and regulatory requirements.
• Support controls and calibration: collaborate with controls engineers on ECU requirements, implement control logic test cases in MATLAB/Simulink, participate in HIL testing and assist with final calibration on vehicle-level rigs.
• Manage verification, validation and sign-off: maintain test reports, non-conformance records and corrective action logs; support PPAP/FTA activities and ensure product readiness for production release.
• Coordinate with suppliers and manufacturing: qualify vendors, review supplier drawings and test evidence, support NPI handover, and work with manufacturing/quality to resolve production issues and improve yield.
• Drive continuous improvement and fault analysis: investigate field failures, lead root-cause analysis, propose design or process changes, and feed lessons into design standards and DFMEA.
• Provide cross-functional support and documentation: present technical updates to stakeholders, prepare user manuals and service bulletins, and support homologation and regulatory submissions as needed.

Requirements

• 3+ years’ experience in automotive product development, test & validation, or production support, ideally with exposure to passenger vehicle programs or EV powertrains.
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Automotive, Mechatronics or equivalent engineering discipline; postgraduate or specialised training in vehicle dynamics, powertrain or controls is a plus.
• Proficient with CAD (SolidWorks, CATIA) and CAE tools for FEA/thermal/NVH; practical experience with MATLAB/Simulink, data acquisition systems and basic scripting for data analysis.
• Hands-on knowledge of mechanical systems (suspension, brakes, transmissions) and/or powertrain/electrical architectures; familiarity with vehicle-level testing protocols and dyno/road test instrumentation.
• Experience with product development processes (DFMEA, design reviews, PPAP), strong documentation discipline, and the ability to produce clear engineering reports and test evidence.
• Good communication in English, teamwork across engineering, manufacturing and suppliers, and flexibility for test campaigns, factory support and occasional travel to supplier sites.
