Automotive Engineering
Automotive Engineering jobs can involve you in any stage of the vehicle manufacturing process. Automotive engineering jobs include working on the initial design of body (coachwork), chassis and running gear, and engines (power-train) to the final production stage. Automotive engineering jobs allow for specialisations in fuel technology, and emission analysis and control; automotive engineering jobs controlling thermodynamics, aerodynamics and fluid mechanics and automotive engineering jobs concerned with electrical systems, electronic control systems and instrumentation. Automotive engineering jobs can normally be separated into three main types; Development, Production and Manufacturing.
Automotive engineering jobs in Development will usually involve working with product development teams, designers and marketing to produce a ‘look and feel'. Once the basic design is agreed, automotive engineering jobs use draughting skills and computer-aided design software to develop prototype models - built and tested prior to the pre-production stage. Once Development automotive engineering jobs have agreed a prototype, or prototypes, a series of computer simulations for weaknesses, performance and safety can be carried out. Physical tests in these automotive engineering jobs might include building wood, plastic or clay models to be reviewed and wind tunnel tested.
Once a prototype sign-off is achieved, blueprints, models and testing data can be forwarded to automotive engineering jobs in Production. Product and design engineers in automotive engineering jobs can then design components and systems to ensure that performance and durability requirements are met. Automotive Engineering jobs can then move to planning the production run. Automotive Engineering jobs here can require the redesign of machine tools, factory equipment and manufacturing processes.
Automotive engineering jobs in manufacturing then determine the ‘hows' of making the final product, whether it is a motorcycle, bus, car or commercial vehicle.
