Cramlington, England, United Kingdom

Development Engineer

Turntide Technologies is helping turn the tide on climate change with breakthrough technologies that accelerate electrification and sustainable operations for energy-intensive industries. We develop full-stack, integrated, open systems that support commercial and industrial electric vehicles, building operations, and agriculture to optimize how the world uses energy, so every watt is worthwhile for humanity. We’re looking for curious, intelligent, collaborative people from diverse backgrounds who want to make a real impact on the sustainability of our planet.

The Job

This is an exciting opportunity for an engineer to join a small, fast moving team working on cutting edge electrification technology. The work will include concept and prototype design, through to detailing of products for low, medium and high-volume production. This role requires the ability to analyse designs using various CAE tools and the ability to work well as part of a team but also being capable of self-management in order to deliver high quality work to what can be tight deadlines.

We’re looking for someone who has a BSc (Hons) in relevant engineering degree or HND with relevant experience. You must also have relevant professional experience post-graduation – that experience may have been gained in the automotive, motorsport, industrial electronics or aerospace sectors

At this point, we hope you’re feeling excited about the job description you’re reading. Even if you don’t feel that you meet every single requirement, we still encourage you to apply. We’re eager to meet people that believe in Turntide’s mission and can contribute to our team in a variety of ways – not just candidates who check all the boxes.  We want people to feel comfortable expressing their true selves and to come, stay, and do their best work here.
