Forseven, a revolutionary company is looking to transform the EV industry through cutting-edge technology and innovative engineering practices, are seeking an Engineer – Electric Powertrain Integration and Launch to join our highly skilled and dynamic Vehicle Electrification Team. This role will be reporting into the Engineering Manager – Powertrain System Validation.

The role will operate in a hybrid capacity out of our offices in Leamington Spa, Warwickshire where the successful candidate will have the opportunity to work alongside some of the most visionary minds in the automotive field.

This is an exciting role in the team where specialism in electrification will provide a real focus on the electric powertrain and associated systems during all stages of development. As our vehicles progress towards production, it is imperative that system integration is verified at component level before launch and development support is provided for the HV System within these vehicles.

This role will allow the right candidate to support the integration of powertrain components in the first instance. Working alongside suppliers to ensure that solutions meet our requirements and do not encounter delays that may risk the vehicle programme. Then as the vehicle build matures through prototype and into pre-production phases, on-site launch support will ensure that knowledge gained during the integration phases is used to maximise the success of the vehicle launch.

• Support prototype and production builds for Forseven vehicles in diverse locations.
• Support and define vehicle instrumentation for the Electric Powertrain and wider team.

Who you are:

• Experience around the integration and troubleshooting of high voltage and powertrain components during build, development and production phases of an automotive project. To include both software and physical considerations.
• Demonstratable hands on experience of automative components, systems and vehicles to include high voltage system.
• Experience of vehicle testing, analysis and diagnostics using measurement and calibration tools such as Vector CANalyzer and ETAS INCA.
• Demonstrable understanding of high voltage architectures and underlying principles and technologies including thermal management, high voltage safety and control strategies.
• Possession of an Electronics, Control Systems, Automotive or similar honours engineering degree. Relevant significant experience will be considered. High Voltage training to Senior Authorised Person or IMI Level 4 preferred.
