Requisition Details
Vacancy Type:Permanent
Location:Warwick

About The Role
Our company has an exciting opportunity for a Test & Validation Engineer - HV Systems to join our Design, Development and Engineering Centre based in Warwick.

As EV programmes progress towards production, it is imperative that components and systems undergo a full test and validation programme to prepare the innovative solutions for series production. This is an exciting role in a new team where specialism in electrification will provide a real focus on the high voltage system to support the skillset already present at vehicle level within the group.

This role will be focused on the test & development of the HV architecture, covering HV batteries, e-motors, power electronics and thermal systems for a specific vehicle application.

Responsibilities:

Test and Validation of the components/sub-systems that make up the high voltage vehicle system.
Requirements elicitation and analysis to support development of appropriate test strategies and DV plans.
Specification, design, development and realisation of appropriate rigs to enable component level (off vehicle/labcar) testing of the HV system.
Provide guidance and oversee DV test plans operated by suppliers of technology components.
Interface and integrate rig-based testing activities with those performed at vehicle level.
Define a comprehensive test database to document progress through the test plan and maximise re-use and lessons learnt as applied to future test schemes.
Align with vehicle homologation engineers to ensure that test plans support the certification requirements of the vehicle as a whole.
Manage suppliers and availability of rigs and test equipment to ensure that build timelines are not impacted by delays to the test process.
Produce high quality reporting and documentation to provide a suitable audit trail of the validation exercise.

The Person:

Significant experience of HV Systems within an automotive engineering environment.
Demonstrable understanding of high voltage architectures and underlying principles and technologies including thermal management, HV harnessing, electrical safety systems, serviceability and control strategies.
Experience in testing and debugging complex control systems using tools such as CANape, CANalyzer or CANoe.
Experience of system/component delivery within an APQP, six sigma or similar framework (FMEA, DVP, quality planning, PPAP etc) and full product lifecycle activities.
A comprehensive understanding of the V-Cycle and its application in an automotive environment.
Articulate, self-motivated, and able to work well on own initiative.
Possession of an Electronics, Control Systems, Automotive or similar honours engineering degree. Other recognised engineering qualifications combined with relevant significant experience will be considered.
Full driving licence is essential.
No visa or other restrictions for working in the UK or travelling in the European Union.
