Powertrain Development Technician

Powertrain Development Technician focuses on electric drive unit and electric motor build, rigging and testing.

What the role involves

• Electric drive unit and electric motor build, rigging and testing.
• Measured engine and powertrain build for prototype testing.
• Accurate repeatable instrumentation fitment onto powertrains.
• Engine/powertrain fault diagnosis/finding and reporting (measured strips).
• Management of CAUK’s test cells to ensure quality operation, e.g. daily checks, setting cell operating standards, identification of cell maintenance/calibration requirements.
• Management of test cell installation hardware and best operating practices, e.g. test cell pallets, wing-plate, prop-shafts.

Skills and requirements

• Relevant technical, electrical, mechanical, maintenance, gas, plumbing, or engineering experience may be required.

Candidate fit

• Experience of powertrain/engine build and instrumentation is essential.
• Test cell facilities is essential, e.g. rigging hardware, dyno.
• Working knowledge of engine and powertrain test cell operating systems is desirable (AVL PUMA 2 & Sierra CP CADET preferred).
