Are you passionate about precision wiring and shaping the electrical heartbeat of world-class vehicles? Do you see prototype electrical work not just as fitting parts—but as engineering artistry?
We’re offering an exciting opportunity for a skilled Electrical Development Technician to join an elite automotive engineering team focused on development and prototype builds. You will be part of a tight-knit crew pushing the limits of vehicle innovation—designing, building, and testing bespoke wiring systems in an environment where no two days are the same.
About the Role:
As an Electrical Technician, you will be at the forefront of designing and fabricating complex wiring harnesses for development and prototype vehicles. Your hands-on work will support the electrical architecture of test and concept cars, from initial build stages through to commissioning and final shakedown.
Collaborating closely with engineers, you’ll carry out end-of-line testing, fault diagnosis, and calibration, while also installing specialist instrumentation and supporting vehicle testing programmes. This role demands attention to detail, a proactive attitude, and the ability to work flexibly and professionally in a fast-paced environment where innovation thrives.
Key Responsibilities as an Electrical Development Technician:
* Design, build and test complex wiring harnesses for development and prototype cars
* Interact with engineering team to support harness and electrical design and development on prototype vehicles
* Perform end of line testing such as continuity and earthing checks, sensor calibration and validation, and other system checks
* Support the commissioning and shakedown of vehicles
* Feedback to Engineers on issues and make suggestions for improvement
* Facilitate installation of instrumentation and electrical systems required on prototype and test cars
* Support vehicle testing
* Maintain electrical development tools and equipment
Our Ideal Electrical Development Technician:
We are looking for someone who shares our passion for automotive excellence and brings:
* Strong experience of layout, design, manufacture and testing of low volume harnesses using Raychem DR25, Autosport, DT and other common connector systems. (Preferably within motorsport, automotive, aerospace, or similar sector)
* A thorough understanding of automotive electrical systems
* A relevant qualification (Apprenticeship, ONC, HNC, HND etc) or good ‘hands on’ engineering experience within an engineering environment
* Experience with design and build of instrumentation looms and sensors, including setup and calibration
* Experience with electrical system and diagnostic software (Motec, Bosch, Peak/Vector or similar)
