Thermo Fluids Engineer

​Position Description:

• The client is seeking a motivated individual to join us as Engineer Thermo Fluids, at our Gaydon site.

• You will be a member of a dedicated team responsible for the operation of a key laboratory equipment ensuring the thermal energy management systems of our products are fully developed and efficient, therefor maximising energy deployed predominantly for drivable range.

• You will take care of the facility, maintaining at full working order to ensure effective operation uptime.

• In conjunction with the system engineering teams you will conduct critical development tests through the operation of the laboratory facility providing data in support of, and associate to engineering targets, you will be part of a team that will be pivotal in the development of product and further specification of the laboratory including investment planned in the coming years.

• We will provide familiarisation of equipment and local training with the intention to develop you personally in Thermo fluids knowledge/ disciplines, supporting the wider project teams.
