Position Title: Gas Path Engineer (Diesel/Gasoline)

Location: Warwickshire

Employment: Contract

IR35 determination: Inside

Function / Department: Powertrain Engineering

This role is responsible for the design and development of the propulsion systems within the systems engineering function layer, across both logical and physical solution domains.

The role holder will lead the creation and ownership of system engineering artefacts for new and existing propulsion concepts, features, and capabilities within the xHEV Diesel/Gasoline domain. A key focus will be on ensuring that systems are legally compliant, deliver on customer expectations, and remain competitive in the global market.

The role requires subject matter expertise in emissions after-treatment and gas path systems, with strong knowledge of ICE powertrains, electrification (MHEV/PHEV), torque, electrical/thermal energy management, and global emissions requirements.

Key Accountabilities & Responsibilities

  • Deliver robust system requirements and targets on-cycle to programmes.

  • Develop and maintain system engineering artefacts including MBSE models, use case analysis, logical architecture diagrams (LAD), functional failure analysis (FFA/DFMEA/DRBFM), DVP, and standards.

  • Drive delivery of new functions via Statement of Capability (SOC) and Feature Statement of Intent (FSOI).

  • Identify and resolve system compatibility issues efficiently.

  • Ensure adherence to engineering methods, tools, and processes.

  • Provide expert knowledge to support wider team understanding of functional areas.

  • Lead analysis of complex CAE and physical test data.

  • Chair technical reviews/forums and resolve cross-functional issues.

  • Conduct studies and develop methods for future propulsion technologies.

    Knowledge, Skills & Experience

  • Strong experience in Systems Engineering, ideally within automotive.

  • Expertise in propulsion/powertrain engineering: emissions after-treatment and gas path systems.

  • Knowledge of base engines, 48V systems, batteries, torque and energy arbitration.

  • Experience with xHEV propulsion system integration (MHEV/PHEV/BEV).

  • Proven background in system definition, architecture development, requirements, integration, and assessment.

  • Exposure to calibration and control systems in propulsion.

  • Experience with MBSE and systems architecting tools.

  • CAE and physical test exposure at vehicle, propulsion, and subsystem levels.

  • Experience defining test cases and DoE for HIL, PIL, VIL, and vehicle environments.

  • Strong data analytics skills (Excel macros, Matlab, MDA, Concerto).

  • Knowledge of 8D, Six Sigma, and issue resolution methods.

  • Familiarity with Product Creation Development System (PCDS) and Agile delivery.

  • Strong understanding of engineering planning and delivery processes.

  • Degree or equivalent experience.

  • Full UK or equivalent driving licence.

Why Space Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

The UK’s space sector is growing fast — from satellite systems and Earth observation to satellite communications, space robotics, propulsion, space data analytics, and mission operations. But the nature of space work is changing. Projects involving satellites, launch systems, space robotics and ground infrastructure are now embedded in regulation, public perception, human interaction and cross-disciplinary design. Space careers in the UK used to be dominated by engineers, astrophysicists, systems analysts and telemetry experts. Today, they increasingly demand fluency not only in aerospace, software, electronics & data, but also in law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. After all, space systems operate under treaties, privacy constraints, public scrutiny, international collaborations and human interfaces. In this article, we explore why space careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how those allied fields intersect with space work, and what job-seekers & employers must do to thrive in this evolving cosmos.

Why the UK Could Be the World’s Next Space Jobs Hub

Space is no longer just the domain of governments and large agencies. Commercial satellites, Earth-observation, space communications, space launch, applications using satellite data, and downstream services are becoming essential components of national and global infrastructure. Whether for climate monitoring, telecommunications, security, navigation, agriculture, or disaster management, space technologies underpin many of the systems we take for granted. In recent years, the UK has been steadily building its space sector: advancing policy, strengthening research, encouraging private investment, establishing new facilities, and growing its workforce. As this momentum continues, demand is rising for professionals in engineering, operations, software, analysis, project management, regulation, and more. For those interested in ambitious, cutting-edge, and high-impact careers, the UK space sector offers compelling prospects. This article explores why the United Kingdom is exceptionally well placed to become a global space jobs hub, what the current landscape looks like, the roles in demand, sectoral strengths, challenges to be addressed, and what must happen for the UK to fulfil this role in the global space economy.
