This is a superb opportunity for an experienced Energy Management Engineer to join a cutting-edge electrical systems team within a world-class automotive manufacturing environment. You’ll be responsible for the end-to-end development, integration, validation, and delivery of energy management hardware across multiple programmes.
The role is ideal for a proactive engineer with a strong foundation in energy systems, component delivery, diagnostic tooling, and cross-functional collaboration. Your work will directly impact vehicle energy performance, compliance, and customer satisfaction through robust hardware and systems integration.
Key Responsibilities of the Energy Management Engineer:
Develop, integrate, validate, and sign off energy management hardware across various vehicle projects.
Review and approve circuit diagrams (Schaltplans), support ECU communication, and lead functional troubleshooting using diagnostics.
Support compliance, Functional Safety, and Golden Rules activities including processes such as ENG (Apply online only) (Emissions Control Module Application).
Collaborate cross-functionally with R&D teams (Electrical & Electronics, Whole Vehicle, Body & Trim, Motion) to ensure system requirements are met.
Manage the introduction and validation of platform changes, B-Releases, BMGs, and K-Releases related to energy management hardware.
Provide technical support and documentation to internal teams including Production, Aftersales, Logistics, Purchasing, and Project Management.
Work closely with suppliers and Group system engineers to ensure timely and functional component delivery.
Validate functional sign-off requirements for all associated components and support software development activities where required.
Skills & Experience Required for the Energy Management Engineer role:
Proven experience in component release, change management, and CAD/BOM data handling.
Solid understanding of energy management systems including 12V and high-voltage components, DC/DC converters, battery sensing modules, and starter-alternators.
Knowledge of medium (48V) and high-voltage systems and their interaction with 12V architecture.
Experience with fusing, power delivery, cable sizing, and crash/failure mode validation for power systems.
Proficiency in working with CAN, Flexray, and LIN networks, as well as diagnostic tools such as ODIS and IDEX.
Skilled in root cause analysis, electrical fault finding, and system troubleshooting.
Familiarity with Vector tools and general software development understanding.
Ability to work cross-functionally within engineering and other departments.
Qualifications:
Engineering degree or equivalent experience.
Valid UK driving licence is essential.
This contract offers a challenging and rewarding opportunity to contribute as an Energy Management Engineer in an advanced automotive engineering setting. You’ll be joining a collaborative and technically focused team working on innovative future vehicle technologies.
