Technical Specialist Power Consumption

In this role you will lead simulation, modelling, and verification activities to understand and optimize vehicle power consumption. You will own low-voltage energy demand and drive consumption reduction across the vehicle, aligning targets with benchmarking and programme status. You will collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure power requirements are understood and managed throughout development, providing clear governance and reporting. This is a chance to shape energy efficiency for high-performance vehicles within a leading engineering team.
