Senior Engineer - VCATS.

Warwickshire (M40 corridor).

As one of the most prestigious brands in the world, my client is a manufacturer of high-end vehicles and has a British heritage spanning over a century. With their headquarters in Warwickshire, their iconic range of vehicles are the dreams of many and sold from 160 dealerships in 53 countries.

With a new leadership team and strategic expansion plans, an opportunity has arisen for a Senior Engineer - VCATS to join their multi-disciplined, talented team and take responsibility for the provision of a whole-life test system - from the start of a vehicle programme, to early build stages and then on to production. Does this sound like the type of company that can offer you an exciting next step of your career?

The Vehicle Configuration and Test System (VCATS) team are part of the Advanced Manufacturing Engineering function and support the electrical and diagnostic testing of the vehicle and the validation of feature performance. The team is responsible for flashing software, configuring and testing assemblies and full vehicles, ensuring they are ready for the customer and comply with market legislation. VCATS is present on all manufacturing sites, including small volume build activities.

The key responsibilities for your new role are as follows:

  • Planning for the introduction of new models and providing hands-on track side support during early build and launch phases, with technical modification of testing equipment.
  • Working closely with manufacturing to understand feasibility and ensure processes are optimised for manning and takt requirements.
  • Developing, implementing and validating diagnostic testing, calibration and configuration routines to fulfil testing plan requirements, ensuring robust sequence deployment for critical processes.
  • Specifying appropriate hardware requirements and working with external equipment suppliers to develop and deliver testing solutions / assembly aids that exceed requirements, provide future expansion and are cost effective to the business.
  • Manage the plant VCATS on a day-to-day basis through issue investigation, running changes, continuous process improvement, 'hours per car' reduction and 'defects per vehicle' reduction.
  • Support Current Vehicle Engineering in the investigation, resolution and permanent corrective action implementation of field quality issues.

My client is keen to hear from people with a recognised engineering apprenticeship, with a relevant background in the automotive or aerospace industry. In an ideal world, you will also possess a background in engineer, technology or vehicle electrical systems / diagnostics.

Regardless of where you come from, you will have an analytical and logical approach to problem solving and possess the ability to quickly analyse and issue, identify the next steps and plan a resolution.

In return, an excellent salary is on offer. A generous benefits package includes an unrivalled pension, access to a heavily discounted vehicle hire scheme, private medical cover and death in service benefit. Shift work may be required, on occasion.

The company are easily accessible from Gaydon, Warwick, Coventry, Birmingham, Banbury and the surrounding areas and the area offers sensibly priced accommodation and a variety of lifestyle options to suite every taste.
