Position: Integration Engineer 

Domain: Automotive / EV 

Job Type: Permanent / Contract 

Location: West Midland, UK 

 ​​

Job Summary: 

The ideal candidate will demonstrate strong engineering fundamentals, a structured problem-solving approach (such as 8D), and the ability to plan and execute complex DV activities. This role is central to ensuring that EV propulsion systems are effectively integrated and validated within the vehicle environment, meeting all performance and functional requirements.  

​​​

Key Responsibilities: 

• Lead and coordinate the integration of propulsion systems (motors, inverters, batteries, controls) into vehicle platforms. 

• Plan, execute, and analyse PiL (Processor-in-the-Loop) and ViL (Vehicle-in-the-Loop) tests for propulsion system validation. 

• Develop and manage Design Validation (DV) plans, including test strategy, schedule, and execution tracking. 

• Conduct Design of Experiments (DOE) to optimize system performance and troubleshoot integration challenges. 

• Capture, log, and analyse high-fidelity data using vehicle instrumentation and test tools to validate functional behaviour. 

• Lead problem-solving activities using structured techniques such as 8D, Root Cause Analysis (RCA), and implement robust countermeasures. 

• Apply engineering first principles to evaluate and resolve complex integration issues affecting performance or drivability. 

• Work collaboratively across systems, software, calibration, and manufacturing teams to ensure delivery of validated propulsion systems. 

• Support vehicle build phases and development testing, ensuring timely issue resolution and alignment with program milestones. 

• Document findings, produce technical reports, and contribute to system release readiness. 

 

Skills, Knowledge and Experience Required: 

    

Technical Skills: 

• In-depth knowledge of EV propulsion systems, including electric motors, inverters, battery systems, and control strategies. 

• Proficient in PiL/ViL testing, vehicle instrumentation, and data analysis tools (e.g., CANalyzer, INCA, MATLAB, Vector tools). 

• Experience in Design Validation (DV) planning, execution, and DOE methodology. 

• Strong understanding of vehicle systems integration and validation workflows. 

• Familiarity with engineering simulation, diagnostics, and real-world system behaviour analysis. 

 

Problem Solving & Engineering Approach: 

• Expertise in structured problem-solving techniques such as 8D, 5 Whys, and Fishbone Diagrams. 

• Strong grasp of engineering fundamentals and first principles thinking in mechanical, electrical, and control domains. 

 

Experience: 

• 4–8 years of relevant experience in EV or hybrid vehicle propulsion system development and integration. 

• Experience with vehicle testing, system-level troubleshooting, and cross-functional engineering coordination. 

• Previous involvement in vehicle builds, test campaigns, and launch support is advantageous. 

​​

Soft Skills: 

• Excellent analytical thinking and communication skills. 

• Ability to operate independently in a fast-paced, test-heavy environment. 

• Strong project ownership, teamwork, and collaboration mindset. 

 

Education: 

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or related field. 

• Additional certifications in systems integration, problem-solving, or DV planning tools are a plus. 

 

What we offer (For Permanent) 

• Competitive Salary in line with level of experience 

• UK Work Visa sponsorship for eligible candidates 

• Opportunity to be part of world class product development projects 

• Pension Scheme 

• 28 Days Holidays (Annual + Bank Holidays). 

This role may offer the opportunity for hybrid working where you can split your time between working from home and in the office. Hybrid working is a voluntary, non-contractual arrangement providing employees with more choice and flexibility around how, when and where they work, if suitable for their role. Further details can be discussed with the Hiring Manager at interview stage.
