Enjoy an excellent chance of a permanent post with the company?This KTP between the University of Huddersfield (Department of Engineering Technology in the School of Computing & Engineering) and RLE International is a 24 month project.
RLE’s business model is based on sub-contract design, project management and contractor placement, primarily for automotive OEMs such as Nissan, Ford and Jaguar Land Rover. This business model's success relies on the Company having high-calibre engineering expertise across a broad range of areas to enable it to respond quickly to a wide variety of R&D projects that can vary hugely in scope and timescales. The Company has broad and extensive expertise in many aspects of automotive design and development, manufacturing, quality, supply-chain and project management. This covers a wide range of technical fields including body engineering, chassis design, powertrain, interiors, NVH, transmission, safety and vehicle integration (i.e. mechanical engineering related disciplines).
Your role will be to develop and embed a range of new skills and capabilities in automotive electro-mechanical / electronics design and integration. You will therefore require technical and management skills as well as the drive and determination to deliver and embed new knowledge into the company. With a 1st or 2:1 honours degree (preferably postgraduate qualification with automotive electronics or mechatronics as the main subject) in Electrical/Electronic Engineering or a closely related discipline, you should ideally have at least one year’s relevant work experience.
