EV Battery Charging Engineer Overview An experienced Charging Features Verification Engineer is required to support delivery within a high-performance Charging Systems Verification and Validation function. This contract role is based in Gaydon and sits within a Charging Systems Delivery Group responsible for the validation of next-generation EV charging technologies. The successful candidate will act as the primary verification point of contact for charging features, working closely with Charging Product Squads, Propulsion Product Groups, Body and Digital Platform teams, and Central Systems Integration. This is a hands-on vehicle-level validation role within a fast-paced electrification programme. Key Responsibilities Execute validation and verification activities across EV Charging Systems including DC-DC converters, On-Board Chargers, AC and DC charging architectures, and BMS integration. Develop, maintain, and execute structured test plans, test cases, and automated or manual test scripts aligned to system requirements. Conduct vehicle-level software release testing across multiple programmes and build phases. Perform functional, performance, robustness, and integration testing using real EVSE units, charging emulators, power analysers, and diagnostic tools. Capture and analyse logs, identify root causes of charging faults, communication failures, or interoperability issues. Verify issue resolution across vehicle, labcar, and Vehicle-in-Loop environments, including SIMS, AIMS, and defect tracking systems. Support cross-functional defect resolution alongside software, hardware, diagnostics, and integration teams. Ensure system compliance with ISO 15118, IEC 61851, DIN 70121, ISO 26262 and associated charging standards. Produce structured technical reports and present validation findings to engineering leadership and key stakeholders. Contribute to continuous improvement of validation processes, issue triage workflows, and integration strategies across charging modules. Technical Capability Hands-on experience with EV charging systems, high-voltage electrical systems, or power electronics, including 400V and 800V architectures. Strong Validation and Verification background within automotive or adjacent regulated industries. Working knowledge of hardware and software development lifecycle processes for power electronics systems. Solid understanding of automotive communication protocols including CAN, LIN, Ethernet and diagnostic standards such as UDS and DoIP. Practical experience with Vector CANoe or CANalyser, PLC logging, ETAS INCA, Wireshark, and MDA. Experience with charging standards including CCS, NACS, CHAdeMO, GB/T, Type 2 and Type 1. Understanding of ISO 15118, DIN 70121, IEC 61851 and functional safety requirements under ISO 26262. Vehicle-level fault diagnosis and structured defect triage capability. Experience preparing vehicles with appropriate instrumentation and supporting workshop hardware modifications for validation activities. Competence using oscilloscopes, multimeters, power analysers, and EVSE charging simulators. Ability to interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and system requirements documentation. Experience working within Agile development environments. Full UK Driving Licence. Desirable HV Authorised Person or Senior Authorised Person training. Experience supporting multiple build phases across test properties. Relevant degree in Electrical, Electronics, Control Systems, Mechanical Engineering or equivalent industry experience. Personal Attributes Analytical, methodical, and structured in problem-solving. Comfortable operating independently in a demanding, high-visibility programme environment. Strong stakeholder engagement skills across engineering disciplines. Resilient and adaptable in a fast-paced development setting. Proactive in leading validation activities and driving issues to closure.
