Systems Engineer (engineer / senior) £40,000 - 65,000 + benefits Uttoxeter area, Staffordshire - 5 days onsite Multiple roles exist for systems engineers to join a successful construction machinery manufacturing company in Staffordshire. The roles are open to engineer and senior engineer candidates. Purpose: To develop and deliver electrical and control systems for a range of hydraulic construction machine platforms. This will entail definition of systems requirements and creation of technical specifications encompassing hardware and software elements. You will work with design and development teams to create solutions, support vehicle integration, test and validation activities. This is an end-to-end systems engineering role and you will take systems from concept to production. Background: Systems Engineer It is most likely you will have a background in electrical or electronic engineering. You will have a broad range of skills and experience allowing you to contribute to all aspects of product develop and integration activities (e.g. systems definition, integration, physical troubleshooting and problem solving) - versatility and flexibility. A small company, "many hats" approach to engineering would align best to this working environment. The ideal candidate will come from a design, development, integration or validation background but must have the ability to develop systems requirements for electrical and control systems (e.g. logic circuits, ECUs and electrical distribution system / EDS). An understanding of software control would be very useful. The role could involve handling any aspect of electrical and control systems for the machine, from driver controls and interfaces, through to hydraulics, powertrain integration, active / passive safety systems and more. Skills / Experience required: Systems Engineer A good degree in a relevant subject (e.g. electrical engineering, mechatronics engineering) At least 2 years of relevant experience in the design, development, integration or validation of electrical and control systems (e.g. schematics and harnesses for low voltage DC systems (e.g. 12v, 24v), hydraulic / pneumatic control utilising electronic control units (ECUs), etc) Experience in the design of electrical distribution systems or electronic control systems for agricultural machines, construction machinery, automotive systems, off-highway vehicles (e.g. military vehicles) or complex machinery / mechatronic systems. Demonstrable capability and aptitude for systems definition and creation of technical specifications relating to electrical / electronic control. Good knowledge of electrical engineering fundamentals (e.g. electrical load calculations and circuit theory) coupled with good problem solving skills (8D, FMEA, etc) Experience of high reliability design taking into consideration water ingress, vibration, heat, impact, etc would be ideal Good communication skills and the ability to work effectively in a small team environment NOTE : Aptitude and attitude is more important that specific product knowledge but candidates must be versatile, practical and be able to apply the basics to any given situation effectively. These systems engineer roles are based onsite near Uttoxeter. Hybrid working is not supported. It is commutable from Rocester, Rugeley, Crewe, Stafford, Derby, Birmingham, Stoke-on Trent, Lichfield, Macclesfield and Burton-on-Trent.

Principal Powertrain Systems Engineer Derbyshire, UK £60-75k + bonus + benefits As principal engineer you will be responsible for the delivery of base engine systems for a new engine programme. This will involve working with subcontractors that will provide detailed level design expertise. Your role will involve working with the chief engineer and other principal engineers to establish system requirements and specifications, oversea the detailed design, integration, development and validation of the complete engine system. Your background: Principal Powertrain Systems Engineer Proven direct experience with the design / development of base engine (ICE) systems. This may include, for example, Valvetrain design (DOHC / SOHC, etc), Major castings, Cooling Systems, CCV (Crank case ventilation), Aftertreatment (e.g., DEF etc), Fuel systems, Air handling (e.g., intake manifold, throttle, etc) Technical leadership and project management capability Excellent grasp of mechanical engineering principles and the ability to apply them to a broad range of complex mechanical engineering problems and challenges This is not a CAD design position but involves systems level design of engine systems (systems specification, creating of test and validation plans, design tolerances, DFMEA and problem-solving activities, etc). Required experience / knowledge: Powertrain systems engineer A degree or higher qualification (or equivalent) in a relevant subject (e.g. mechanical design, automotive engineering, motorsport engineering, etc) Minimum of 8 years of engine design experience gained post academia (gasoline / diesel / H2) Experience of the design / development of ICEs for applications such as automotive, motorsport, agriculture, rail / rolling stock, marine, or power generation, etc. Excellent grasp of mechanical engineering principles and the ability to apply them to a broad range of complex mechanical engineering problems and challenges Experience of systems level design (technical specifications, requirements decomposition, validation activities, DFMEA, DVP&R, 8D problem solving, etc) Experience in one or more of the following engine design disciplines; Valvetrain design (DOHC / SOHC, etc), Gears (timing drive design), CCV (Crank case ventilation), Aftertreatment (e.g., DEF etc), Fuel systems (fuel delivery, handling, H2 would be very useful), Air handling (e.g., intake manifold, throttle, etc), Major castings, etc. As a principal engineer you are effectively a lead engineer, team leader, hence you will not only have technical responsibility for your engine system but will lead the delivery through external engineering resource. Engineers should be able to demonstrate competence in this way of working. This Principal Powertrain Systems Engineer is based on site 5 days per week, and hybrid working is not supported. The role is commutable from Rocester, Stoke on Trent, Derby, Nottingham, Birmingham, Uttoxeter, Stafford, and Burton.
