The role involves hands-on work at the cutting edge of autonomous vehicle technology — retrofitting and servicing a next-generation EV/AV fleet with sensors, LiDAR, RADAR and the hardware that makes self-driving vehicles tick. Based near Hanger Lane, West London, you'll be part of a small, highly skilled team working directly with autonomous vehicle systems. If you've spent years in a dealership and want to trade repetitive servicing for genuinely complex, tech-forward work — this is it.
Salary: £55,000 – £65,000 base, plus up to 20% shift premium
Ditch the 8–5 grind. Our shift structure gives you full days off during the week — more time for life outside work than a standard Mon–Fri ever could:
- Tuesday – Saturday | 10:00PM – 6:30AM
- Sunday – Thursday | 10:00PM – 6:00AM
- Monday – Friday | 10:00PM – 6:30AM
What you’ll be working on:
- Servicing, repair and maintenance of electric autonomous vehicles — mechanical, electrical and integrated AV systems
- Complex hardware retrofits: sensor fitment, LiDAR, RADAR and AV hardware replacement
- Software and firmware updates across the fleet
- Diagnosing advanced EV and AV systems — electrical, A/C, mechanical and autonomous
- Collaborating directly with engineering teams to troubleshoot complex issues
- Participating in fleet-wide hardware and software upgrade programmes
- Accurate documentation of repair orders, diagnostics and parts used
- Staying current with AV technology through ongoing training and development
What we’re looking for:
- 6+ years of hands-on automotive experience — brakes, suspension, alignment, electrical diagnosis, software/firmware updates
- Strong EV/HV background — diagnostics and repair on electric or hybrid vehicles
- Experience with AV or sensor-based systems desirable, not essential — we’ll train the right person
- IMI, City & Guilds or equivalent HV qualification
- Confident with hand tools, power tools and workshop equipment
- Sharp diagnostic mindset — comfortable working with complex, integrated systems
- Detail-oriented, safety-focused and comfortable in a fast-paced tech environment
- Strong communication skills — written and verbal
Nice to have:
- Background from a prestige or performance brand — JLR, McLaren, Tesla, Porsche, BMW, VW, MINI or similar
- Sensor calibration or autonomous vehicle field experience
- Familiarity with Linux, Python, Java, C++, Jira or G-Suite
Working environment:
You’ll be working in a modern workshop environment. The role involves regular physical activity including standing, lifting up to 25 kg, working in confined spaces and occasional use of elevated platforms. Appropriate PPE is provided and reimbursed. Reasonable adjustments are available for candidates with disabilities.
