Senior System Engineer in Norfolk

Senior Systems Engineer – Electric Vehicle Systems Norwich area, Norfolk

Salary: £70,000–£75,000 + Benefits

Type: Permanent, hybrid working is possible.

Are you a technically minded Systems Engineer who thrives on bringing structure, clarity and rigour to engineering delivery? This role offers the chance to join a growing technology company developing advanced electromechanical and electric motor / electric drive systems for electric vehicles and industrial applications.

Direct experience with EDU / electric motor design / development is required.

The Opportunity – Senior Systems Engineer

You will play a key role in improving and shaping how product design and development is delivered across the business. This includes:

• Developing and embedding processes and procedures to bring greater structure and consistency to product development.
• Working hands-on with engineering teams to define and manage requirements, develop technical specifications, and ensure robust validation and verification through the V-model (interpreting standards / requirements decomposition)
• Supporting delivery of complex electromechanical systems, including electric drive units (EDUs) and associated subsystems. This will include support of product approvals, certification, homologation.
• Collaborating closely with multidisciplinary design teams to manage FMEAs, DVPs, and ensure products / systems meet performance, safety and compliance targets.

This is a technical role, not a project management position — ideal for an engineer who enjoys detail, problem-solving, and influencing how good engineering is done.

Experience / Knowledge required – Senior Systems Engineer

• A degree in Engineering (electronics engineering, mechanical engineering, automotive engineering or similar)
• Background in systems engineering, ideally within automotive, off-highway, electric vehicle, electric propulsion, or related, complex electro-mechanical systems.
• Excellent experience of requirements decomposition, system engineering, and V-model delivery.
• Proven experience with interpreting approvals standards and homologation requirements, in order to influence product development.
• Time spent within engineering design and development in a relevant area would be preferable (e.g. electric vehicle propulsion, EDUs, electric motor control, etc)
• Ability to improve processes, influence design culture and drive continuous improvement.
• Understanding of CAN networks, electric drive systems (EDUs) or similar technologies.

You’ll join a business that values technical excellence and gives engineers the freedom to make a real impact. This is a rare opportunity to shape how systems engineering is done — improving quality, efficiency, and collaboration across a forward-thinking engineering environment.

This Senior Systems Engineer is commutable from Norwich, Thetford, Kings Lynn, Bury St Edmonds, Great Yarmouth and Lowestoft (under an hour).
