The UK R&D Centre is at the forefront of this work to develop the future generation of electrified, connected, and intelligent powertrains. We are looking for an experienced power electronics hardware Technical Specialist / Lead Engineer to join us to lead our work in this area.

Reporting to the CAE manager, you will be responsible for providing analysis support in three key areas:
CAUK based concept powertrain technologies (Electric & hybrid systems).
Optimisation of CAHQ powertrain systems, either existing or under development.
Investigation into failure or deficiencies of products in current production.

Support all mechanical integration development and benchmarking activities
Work closely with colleagues from other departments & develop strong working relationships
To diagnose faults and troubleshoot issues faced during development tests
Process and analyse large datasets and draw concise & informed conclusions
Write and present high-quality reports both internally and externally
Develop new and existing test processes procedures and methodologies based on sound scientific principles

Role is to lead test and development work on automotive electrified powertrains.

Calibration methodologies to support development and decision’s making process for research and production hybrid and pure electric powertrain technologies (e.g. P2, P13, REEV, BEV etc.)
Calibration and development of software functions for existing and innovative hybrid powertrains
Development and support for tests and automation of 5E Powertrain rig (test matrix, test supervision, test results and correlation)
Use and development of tools using MATLAB platform for data collection, analysis, fitting and calibration file generation with the goal to improve quality and efficiency of calibration process
Understanding of physical phenomena behind to assess data quality and interpret the results to address the analysis direction

Lead role in the calibration activities on Hybrid and pure electric powertrain projects
Able to work with high level of autonomy on different subjects within a small team
Hands-on calibration activities in all areas of the control and support chassis and powertrain rig level tests
Lead calibration process to meet project deliverables. Apply methodical and pragmatic approach to balance performance, energy consumption, NVH and driveability attributes
Develop core calibration methods for new hybrid/EV powertrain systems
Support control system and software in powertrain systems integration. Analyse calibration results to identify improvements and generate engineering change requests

Develop embedded control software for mass production vehicles

As the team leader, a major and integral part of your role will be ensuring the successful delivery of our powertrain control software, covering both platform and applications for different Powertrain Architectures (DHT, REEV, BEV). You will also support designing new control system strategies with smart technologies in topics like 4WD Torque Split Strategy, Energy Management, Predictive Features etc and leading the team to deliver software based on those. This role will require you to work with the wider cross-functional teams to develop a good understanding of various powertrain technologies and, to communicate clearly with non-software domain engineers.

You will be part of the management team of our Powertrain Electrification & Software Department. You will bring in team development skills to mentor and grow the software team and help them take on current demands and future challenges. You will also assist the head of the department to define and refine the department growth strategies.

Take a leading role in Electrical Machine technology specification, control and integration into xEV automotive vehicle applications.
Provide technical background to support powertrain and vehicle performance simulation leading to technology selection and function verification.
