As a Homologation engineer at Hedley Studios you will be helping to recreate some of the most iconic cars in history at various scales with electric powertrains.
We are looking for an individual to join our small team, who can bring with them strong experience and technical leadership in all aspects of vehicle certification, coupled with a broadbrush knowledge of vehicle systems and testing.
This is a hands-on role spanning the full lifecycle of vehicle certification, where you will need to be equally happy reading regulations to inform the design process, as well as planning test schedules, preparing vehicles and attending homologation tests.
Finding clever ways to follow the rules is vital to what we do, so as not to destroy vehicle aesthetic and ensure we maintain the spirit of the cars recreate.
