    Location: Gaydon

    Division: Body Engineering

    Position Description:

    • The Body Test Operations (BTO) team plan and manage the physical prototype test properties for Body Engineering and Vehicle Safety teams.
    • These properties support the development of new models and anything required for current production models.
    • A typical test property consists of a bare body shell that is fitted with only the necessary parts, and a number of supporting 'kits' of parts. As a Programme Support Engineer, you will be supporting the programme lead(s) and will be instrumental in the delivery of around £5m worth of prototype materials that are critical to the delivery of our exciting new line-up of electric vehicles that will pave our future.

    • Liaising with engineers to confirm body rigs plan is appropriate
    • Liaising with engineers to understand the suitability of prototype parts and mapping the 'dependencies' for each property to better understand and optimise the property build timing
    • Investigating parts status per each Bill of Material (BoM) and that they have appropriate order coverage
    • Supporting prototype build as required
    • Initial planning activities for the next testing phase as directed by the programme lead
    • At the end of each testing phase ensuring all remaining physicals are cleared / disposed of

    Skills Required:

    • Robust and demonstrable Excel skills
    • Understanding and use of 3d CAD for visualisation purposes only (CAD creation is not necessary) & Parts Bills Of Materials (BoM)
    • Willingness and ability to learn new systems, skills and concepts quickly and be able to think laterally.
    • Robust communications skills to work with cross-functional teams.

    Experience Required:

    • Ideally an engineering background, or similar

    Experience Preferred:

    • Experience of automotive subsystem testing for body engineering, automotive or similar industry experience
