Job Description

This is a hands-on, detail-driven role working on the strip, build, inspection and development of prototype and pre-production transmission systems.

Job Responsibility

  • Strip, build, assemble and inspect prototype transmissions in line with build manuals and engineering instruction
  • Investigate and fault-find build issues, manufacturing defects and mechanical failures
  • Strip and assess unfamiliar or one-off transmission assemblies without existing build documentation
  • Apply a deep understanding of transmission architecture, component function and driveline systems
  • Install instrumentation, sensors and bespoke modifications on test units as directed by engineering
  • Identify, raise and report build concerns
  • support engineering with structured problem-solving (including 8D)
  • Follow all part-picking, kitting, storage and inventory processes
  • Maintain a safe, well-organised, prototype-standard workshop environment

Requirements

  • Hands-on prototype build experience and/or direct experience with transmission systems
  • Proven background assembling, stripping or validating complex mechanical assemblies
  • Strong capability to read, interpret and work accurately to engineering drawings and tolerances
  • Ability to verify quality using precise measurement techniques (manual metrology or CMM advantageous)
  • Experience modifying or fabricating prototype hardware (e.g., machining, drilling, grinding, welding)
