My client, an innovative company at the cutting edge of electric motor technology in automotive, requires a fault analysis engineer to join its team. Responsibilities: * Determining the root causes of reported faults using recognised analysis processes, such as 8D, Five Whys, Fault Tree etc. * Engaging with multidisciplinary teams during the definition and investigation phases of 8D processes. * Documenting investigations in a timely manner to allow tracking and reporting of their status and progress. * Conceive, plan, oversee and execute tests and trials designed to establish the root causes of reported faults. * Set out clear investigation strategies to instruct and guide Technician colleagues in their execution, when required. * Document investigations accurately and thoroughly to produce appropriate engineering reports in a timely manner. Requirements: * To hold a relevant engineering qualification (e.g. mechanical or electrical). * To have exposure in fault or failure investigation, or of test or development in a similar, relevant environment (e.g. automotive, aerospace, precision engineering). * To have experience working with mechanical parts and/or machinery. * To evidence a pragmatic approach to problem-solving and the ability to apply knowledge to real-world situations. * The ability to communicate the progress and results of investigations, in progress and upon completion in a relevant and appropriate way. * To be familiar with FMEA and 8D processes and supporting techniques. * A working knowledge and understanding of the properties of a range of engineering materials, and their applications. * A practical, hands-on approach when required and appropriate. * Willingness to travel as required
