Hardware and Mechatronics Graduate in Product Engineering for Luxury Brand
Gradfuel, United Kingdom
Job Description
We are looking for graduates to join our Hardware and Mechatronics team.
Hardware and Mechatronics is at the heart of all our vehicles and fundamental to how we address evolving engineering challenges. Our vehicle dynamics and off-road capability really sets us apart, but we also focus on noise vibration harshness, door systems, headlamps, glazing and seats, with a remit spanning mechanical design, integration and systems engineering.
Our mission is to deliver outstanding customer experiences. This is supported by the creative and innovative skills of our people as well as the range of tools and processes we use. Failure mode and effect analysis are fundamental to providing safety-critical, high-performing and high-quality systems for our customers. Throughout the design and verification process, you will utilise both Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) toolsets to deliver engineering specifications, with world-class system engineering tools to assist you in designing electromechanical control systems.
During the Hardware amp; Mechatronics Graduate Programme, you could work in one of the following departments: Engineering Body Chassis (EBC), Engineering Vehicle (EV), Engineering Operations (EO), Engineering Research (ER), Engineering Propulsion (EP) or Vehicle Programmes. You will be allocated to a department based on personal preferences and business needs.
Engineering Body Chassis (EBC)
The EBC department is responsible for most of what you see and touch in our cars. We work closely with the creative studios to translate award-winning concepts into engineering reality, factoring in performance, manufacturability, sustainability, cost and weight. Our remit spans lids, doors, structures, cabin and safety, cockpit, climate, seats, exteriors, lighting, glazing and roofs.
From day one, you will be part of a team and will be personally responsible for developing real-world engineering solutions. You will learn tools, engineering methodologies and techniques to create and optimise engineering solutions that will enrich your capability, raise your profile and accelerate your development as an engineer. This will involve working on new products and enhancing current products from the basic science all the way through to the customer’s hands.
Engineering Vehicle (EV)
EV is the key technical department for the product creation process: leading engineering innovation from concept to customer, managing the technical content of programmes, and balancing customer attributes and commodities to deliver and launch world class products.
In particular, EV drives the creation and control of vehicle architectures, conducts diverse technical projects and concept studies, and champions end-to-end vehicle efficiency improvements, whilst integrating systems to ensure the seamless delivery of futureproofed cars.
Within EV you could find yourself working in a number of different technical areas such as: Vehicle Architecture, Vehicle Efficiency, Human Factors, Vehicle Integration, Vehicle Evaluation Team, Durability amp; Robustness, Noise Vibration amp; Harshness or Vehicle Dynamics.
Engineering Operations (EO)
EO underpins technical innovation and product delivery with programme management, tools and processes, plus specialist technical services to deliver our world-class products. A diverse team, EO harness a variety of skillsets, from project management, information management and data analytics to building and testing prototypes. EO are fundamentally involved at every state of the engineering process and are driving an exciting transformation in the way we engineer and deliver our products with class-leading technology and quality.
Engineering Research (ER)
We research, explore and develop technical solutions and innovations that will address the future needs, challenges and expectations of the world, our company and our customers. In short, we want to enable our transition to sustainable, modern luxury through advancing new technology and innovation that creates value.
Engineering Propulsion (EP)
Internal combustion engines have dominated automotive propulsion since cars were introduced, but we are reimagining the future. While continuing to refine the quality of our engines through to their end of life, we are rapidly expanding and delivering electrified projects, which are catering to demand today and tomorrow.
Vehicle Programmes (VP)
Our mission is to integrate the enterprise to deliver commercially successful products on time and to quality standards, which fulfil our brand and customer promise throughout their lifecycles. As such, we work with all areas across the business t
