Salary: £ Negotiable + Excellent Benefits

Overview
Formed in 1960, TAFE is firmly established as a global leader in the design and development of agri-machinery equipment. With a presence in over 100 countries and a group turnover exceeding US $1.5bn, TAFE is already the world‘s third largest producer of tractors by volume, backed by best-in class production facilities and extensive R&D expertise.

As a business totally committed to building long-term relationships with stakeholders via fair and ethical business practices, a major investment in a start-up European Technical Centre located in Newport, Shropshire is underway and due to launch this summer.

With a focus on developing new technology and products, particularly for the UK & European agricultural sector, individuals with the ability to drive and influence this highly innovative engineering centre of excellence are sought to take a leading role in the advancement of electrification, smart farming, and autonomous technology.  

The Role

• Working in a team responsible for the design, development, and integration of whole vehicle electrical systems for agricultural vehicles, including necessary safety systems.

• You will also be involved in simulation tooling and ISO requirements.

• You will evaluate, specify, and collaborate in the development of whole vehicle electrical system components for complex electrical and electronic control systems and their integration into TAFE products.

• You will evaluate all aspects of the systems and associated components from fundamental science through to manufacturing and assembly.

• Involved in internal testing, and you will be a key provider of insight into sub-system design.

Responsibilities

• Engineering specification, design, and development of proprietary or TAFE developed electrical systems.

• You will be involved in complete design cycles from concept stage to fully validated products.

• Analysis for complex systems at all levels including concept, design, manufacturing, assembly, test, installation, operation, maintenance, and disposal.

• Involved in the identification of virtual and physical validation requirements for system and sub-system development.

• Support simulation at system and sub-system level using industry standard tools and techniques (VeSys, Matlab Simulink, etc).

• Support reliability and safety analysis (including FMEA, FTA, HARA etc.) and development in accordance with functional safety requirements (ISO 26262/ ISO25119).

• Engage with engineering and technical documentation such as test plans, analyses, reports, and change proposals.

• Collaborate with vendors to maximise performance, minimise cost and maximise consistency.

The Person

• Ideally Degree or Master‘s qualification in Electrical/ Mechanical/ Mechatronic Engineering, or equivalent with emphasis on practical work experience.

• 1-5 years working experience with specification, design, development, and test of electrical systems for on or off-road vehicle applications.

• Strong knowledge of engineering fundamentals in electrical / electronic component specification and application in vehicle, with broad engineering knowledge base in complex electrical / electronic system integration in vehicle.

• Good knowledge of current state of the art technology in vehicle electronics and electrical systems, particularly with regards to EMC.

• Good understanding of DFMEA / DFM / DFA.

On a personal level, the TAFE European Technical Centre provides an unrivalled career opportunity for genuinely driven, creative, and adaptive team players to lead collaboration across numerous projects, disciplines, and departments - internally, externally and also internationally.

With a willingness to take on responsibilities and challenges, an ability to prioritise and organise project workloads, coupled with excellent problem solving, analytical, communication and reporting skills is sought after.
