Senior Powertrain Systems Engineer                         Derbyshire, UK                         £50-60k + benefits

Several roles exist for proven engine design / powertrain systems engineers to join an established diesel engine manufacturing company in Staffordshire, UK.

The role could suit mechanical design engineers that have designed components (systems level) and systems for gasoline or diesel engines. Applicants should have at least 4 years of relevant industry experience within base engine systems design.

NOTE, the role is not a CAD design position but involves systems level design of engine systems (systems specification, overseeing validation, design tolerances, etc) and working with suppliers that will provide detailed level designs.

Backgrounds in one of the following areas would be required:

• 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)

As a senior powertraim systems engineer you will have senior design responsibility for engine design and will work within a multiskilled base engine mechanical design team.

Together you will be responsible for the ongoing design and development of diesel engines (new and existing programmes) and will work with internal development and test teams as well as external suppliers.

Required experience / knowledge: Senior Engine Design Engineer            

• A degree or higher qualification (or equivalent) in a relevant subject (e.g. mechanical design, automotive engineering, motorsport, agricultural engineering, etc)
• 3-4 years of powertrain systems design (base engine) experience gained post academia (gasoline / diesel)
• Experience of the systems design of engines for applications such as automotive, motorsport, agriculture, rail / rolling stock, marine, power generation, etc.
• Previous CAD experience (able to read and manipulate CAD drawings)
• Experience of systems level design (technical specifications, breaking down requirements, validation activities, overseeing suppliers, DFMEA, 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).

Note, these Senior Powertrain systems Design roles are office based in Derbyshire. Relocation and visa assistance can be provided. The roles are commutable from Rocester, Stoke on Trent, Derby, Nottingham, Birmingham, Uttoxeter, Stafford, and Burton.
