Order Ref: 39375 Position Title: Body Test Operations Duration: 2 Month Rolling Contract Location: Gaydon Division: Body Engineering Position Description: The Body Test Operations (BTO) team plan and manage the physical prototype test properties for Body Engineering and Vehicle Safety teams. These properties support the development of new models and anything required for current production models. A typical test property consists of a bare body shell that is fitted with only the necessary parts, and a number of supporting 'kits' of parts. As a Programme Support Engineer, you will be supporting the programme lead(s) and will be instrumental in the delivery of around £5m worth of prototype materials that are critical to the delivery of our exciting new line-up of electric vehicles that will pave our future. In this cross functional role typical tasks may include (but are not limited to): CAD build and validation of parts fitment plan for each test property and kit Liaising with engineers to confirm body rigs plan is appropriate Liaising with engineers to understand the suitability of prototype parts and mapping the 'dependencies' for each property to better understand and optimise the property build timing Investigating parts status per each Bill of Material (BoM) and that they have appropriate order coverage Supporting prototype build as required Initial planning activities for the next testing phase as directed by the programme lead At the end of each testing phase ensuring all remaining physicals are cleared / disposed of Skills Required: Robust and demonstrable Excel skills Understanding and use of 3d CAD for visualisation purposes only (CAD creation is not necessary) & Parts Bills Of Materials (BoM) Willingness and ability to learn new systems, skills and concepts quickly and be able to think laterally. Robust communications skills to work with cross-functional teams. Experience Required: Ideally an engineering background, or similar Experience Preferred: Experience of automotive subsystem testing for body engineering, automotive or similar industry experience
