VIQU have partnered with a well-established UK engineering manufacturer that sits within a long-standing, family-owned European group. With a heritage stretching back over a century, this business combines engineering excellence, innovation, and sustainability, delivering complex vehicle platforms used across essential services worldwide.
This is an opportunity to join a highly capable systems engineering function, working end-to-end on the design, integration, validation and commissioning of complete vehicle systems. You’ll have genuine influence across architecture, requirements, testing and real-world deployment — not just paper design.
The Role
As a Systems Design Engineer, you’ll be responsible for the full systems lifecycle across vehicle platforms, collaborating closely with software, electrical, mechanical and supplier teams.
Key responsibilities include:
* Systems engineering development across complex vehicle platforms
* Requirements capture, management and documentation (V-model)
* Creating system architectures, topologies and electrical interconnection schematics
* Leading multi-system integration (electrical, mechanical & communications)
* Supporting DVP&R, validation, verification and on-vehicle testing
* System start-up, commissioning and fault finding
* Producing technical documentation for production and aftermarket teams
What We’re Looking For
* Degree-qualified in a relevant engineering discipline
* Strong systems engineering experience within automotive, off-highway, heavy or complex electromechanical products
* Solid understanding of system integration, requirements management and validation
* Experience with electrical principles, schematics and vehicle/system testing
* Confident communicator who can work cross-functionally and with suppliers
Desirable experience includes CANbus, ISO 26262, functional safety, off-highway vehicles or control systems.
Why Apply?
* Work on complete vehicle systems, not siloed components
* Hybrid working with flexi-time
* Strong engineering culture with long-term stability
* Backed by a respected, family-owned international group
* Clear scope for technical growth and progression
