This is where performance meets experience.
We’re looking for a Thermal & Cabin Comfort Attribute Leader to take ownership of how our vehicles perform in some of the most demanding thermal environments, while also shaping the comfort our customers feel every time they step inside. It’s a role that connects complex engineering with real-world impact, from system robustness through to cabin experience.
You’ll lead the definition, development and delivery of thermal attributes across vehicle programmes, covering cooling performance, thermal robustness and cabin comfort. Working across both virtual and physical environments, you’ll ensure that every system performs as intended, not just in theory, but in real-world conditions across global test environments.
This is a highly collaborative role. You’ll work closely with CFD, Vehicle Engineering, Design and commodity teams to define targets, influence system selection and ensure performance is delivered to plan. You’ll represent thermal attributes across programme forums, providing clear engineering insight and driving decisions that balance performance, cost and timing.
You’ll own the Thermal Design Verification Plan, shaping how we validate performance across simulation, rig and vehicle testing. From defining instrumentation and test set-ups through to supporting physical testing in the UK and overseas, you’ll be central to ensuring every phase of development is robust and insightful. Alongside this, you’ll lead issue resolution, bringing together cross-functional teams to solve complex challenges and keep programmes moving forward.
Beyond delivery, you’ll contribute to the evolution of how we approach thermal engineering, supporting the development of methods, standards and attribute frameworks, while working closely with aerodynamics teams to ensure a fully aligned TASE approach.
You’ll be based between our Gaydon and Wellesbourne sites, with occasional international travel to support testing and programme activity. This is a role for someone who enjoys being hands-on, close to the product, and actively involved in bringing engineering solutions to life.
We’re looking for someone with experience in automotive thermal systems development or TASE attribute delivery, with a strong grounding in heat transfer, fluid dynamics and system control. You’ll be confident managing delivery through a structured product development process, and comfortable working across both simulation and physical testing environments. Experience with climatic testing, instrumentation and data analysis is key, as is the ability to communicate clearly and influence across teams.
If you’ve had exposure to HVAC systems, attribute leadership or thermal simulation tools, that will add real value, but most importantly, we’re looking for someone who can take ownership, navigate complexity and deliver with clarity.
This is an opportunity to shape both how our vehicles perform and how they’re experienced — influencing something every customer will notice the moment they drive.
If you’re ready to take ownership of thermal performance and customer comfort from concept through to delivery, we’d love to hear from you.
