The ideal candidate would be a highly motivated and experienced Module Engineer with a demonstrated ability for supporting design and development projects in a fast-paced environment.

You must have a sound knowledge of engineering principles, and a demonstratable ability to successfully lead new program and design/delivery activities, including internal new product developments or customer driven applications.

Working to a range of industry standards for design, quality, and validation, you will be capable of leading the delivery of solutions backed up with a robust methodology that will keep YASA Motors at the forefront of electric motor technology in the years ahead.

Key responsibilities will include:

• Co-ordinate and guide engineers and engineering teams to achieve engineering and program deliverables
• Programme management control and responsibility for YASA
• Support and lead weekly alignment meeting(s) between YASA and internal/external customers
• Responsible for post project reports and cascade to YASA management
• Risk management
• Problem resolution and co-ordination between Engineering and other YASA departments i.e., Quality, PM, Meng, Production and Purchasing
• Implementation of processes and tools to drive improvements

• Support customers in challenging package and integration issues with motors, controllers to provide practical solutions for the application.
• Liaise with key suppliers and customers (including internal) on design and development issues, resolve to the optimal solution and understand the compromises.
• Collaborate with cross functional teams to understand constraints and specify engineering design, engineering analysis, (e.g. FEA, CFD, etc.) high volume manufacturing processes and project management.
• Provide detail input to the team to ensure overall delivery milestones are on track.
• Identify technical opportunities and assess feasibility for YASA that may arise from new materials, processes or designs e.g.
• Develop ideas and design / process solutions to practical challenges arising from new product design.
• Undertake any other duties that may be considered appropriate.
