Systems Design Engineer - mechatronics

Systems Design Engineer - mechatronics Staffordshire, UK £45 - 50k + benefits

This role would probably suit an engineer with 3-5 years of industry experience or more.

Key involvement:

• Systems design and analysis, including definition – electromechanical systems, control engineering, etc
  
  
• Safety analysis and FMEA
  
  
• Involvement with producing technical requirements and specifications
  
  
• Working with external supplier and internal engineering teams for product design, development, validation, integration and test
  
  
• Hands-on engineering design, development and problem solving
  
  A background in design / development or systems engineering would be preferred (e.g. electronics, software, mechatronics etc) ideally gained within the automotive, avionics, aerospace, off highway machinery or similar industry. The role could suit a systems engineer, project engineer, electronics design engineer, software engineer or similar, with a broad engineering knowledge and interest in electromechanical / mechatronic products.
  
  The role will involve assessing work packages and analysing product requirements. Furthermore, you will lead and facilitate product design, development, systems integration, test and validation activities.
  
  Required experience / knowledge: Systems design Engineer
  
  
• 3-5+ years of post-academic experience gained within the automotive, aerospace, electronics, mechatronics, or other similar product development environment.
  
  
• A degree in a relevant field (e.g. electronics, computer science, mechatronics, automotive engineering)
  
  
• Experience of systems design - electromechanical systems, control engineering preferred
  
  
• Good organisational and communication skills – able to facilitate design, validation, integration, etc
  
  
• Product development experience and ability having spent time on the design, development or test of complex electromechanical systems (e.g. off highway machinery, automotive vehicle systems)
  
  
• Experience of electronics, electrical, software / control systems design for similar products
  
  
• Good practical engineering aptitude (e.g. software or hardware integration, hands-on problem solving, development of systems in a lab / workshop)
  
  
• Good problem solving and analysis skills
  
  Others (beneficial skills):
  
  
• Formal training within systems engineering would be useful
  
  
• Safety analysis, functional safety and / or FMEA experience
  
  
• Ability to develop and produce software / electronics / systems requirements
  
  
• Able to develop test and validation requirements
  
  The role will require some hands-on support to design, development and integration activities (hardware / software) to ensure product features and systems meet product requirements. This will require engineering design / development knowledge but an appreciation for the greater system.
  
  The company designs and manufacturers a range of vehicles and machinery for the construction industry. These machines include electric vehicle technologies as well as conventional powertrains, hybrid and hydrogen engines. In addition some of the products include autonomous systems, collision avoidance / ADAS systems, hydraulic control, etc. In short you can be exposed to a variety of technologies.
  
  This systems design engineer role is based onsite and is commutable from Rocester, Stoke on Trent, Derby, Nottingham, Birmingham, Uttoxeter, Stafford, and Burton
