About the role

This role is based at JCB World Headquarters where new and innovative vehicle projects are born. As a member of the Systems Engineering team within the Electrical and Controls Category Team you’ll be driving the Business forward through the development and integration of complex electronic systems on products like the unmistakeable JCB Backhoe Loader, the class\-leading JCB Loadall and the innovative JCB Fastrac.

For more senior roles:
  • Specifying vehicle system architectures.

  • Leading structured problem\-solving processes with multi\-disciplined teams, driving critical thinking and process adherence.

  • Leading teams.

  • Mentoring less experienced engineers.
This will be suited to you if…

  • You hold a degree qualification in an electrical or systems engineering discipline.

  • You are confident working under pressure and making decisions.

  • You communicate clearly and concisely.

  • You have a practical understanding of vehicle systems, and “how things work”.
