Manufacturing Engineer

Job Description

Manufacturing Engineer – Vehicle Assembly

Summary

We are seeking a practical and motivated Manufacturing Engineer to join our growing team at Zenvo Automotive.

As we transition from prototype development into series production, you will help turn engineering designs into structured, repeatable manufacturing processes for our hypercars.

We are looking for someone who understands how vehicles are built, can see the bigger picture across vehicle systems and assemblies, and enjoys getting involved in the detail. Working closely with Engineering, Production and Quality, you will help develop our manufacturing processes while actively supporting vehicle builds on the workshop floor.

This is a hands-on role within a small team, offering the opportunity to make a genuine contribution to how we build our cars and develop our manufacturing operation.

Key Responsibilities

Manufacturing Engineering and Industrialisation

• Translate engineering designs into practical assembly processes, manufacturing BOMs (MBOMs), build sequences and work instructions.
• Support the development of manufacturing structures and strategies across vehicle systems and assemblies.
• Use CATIA V6 and 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX) to interpret engineering data and define manufacturing requirements.
• Provide Design for Manufacture and Assembly (DFMA) feedback to Engineering.
• Support the transition from prototype builds into controlled, repeatable production.

Production and Workshop Support

• Work directly with technicians to develop, implement and improve assembly processes.
• Support vehicle builds, resolve manufacturing issues and implement practical solutions.
• Develop tooling, jigs, fixtures and assembly station requirements.
• Capture lessons learned and introduce improvements to manufacturing methods and documentation.

Manufacturing Systems and Improvement

• Help establish effective manufacturing workflows, process documentation and production controls.
• Support the integration of engineering data with manufacturing systems, including PLM, MES and Microsoft Dynamics 365 Business Central.
• Work with Production and Logistics to improve assembly efficiency, material flow and workshop organisation.
• Contribute to the development of our manufacturing capability as production volumes increase.

Qualifications and Experience

• Experience in manufacturing engineering, production engineering or vehicle assembly within automotive, motorsport or a similar technical environment.
• Good understanding of vehicle systems, assembly processes and how components integrate into a complete vehicle.
• Experience creating manufacturing processes, BOMs, work instructions or production documentation.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, CAD models and technical specifications.
• Practical understanding of assembly tooling, manufacturing methods and workshop operations.
• Familiarity with CATIA, 3DEXPERIENCE or similar CAD/PLM systems would be advantageous.
• A relevant engineering qualification or equivalent practical experience.

Experience within low-volume automotive, motorsport or specialist vehicle manufacturing would be particularly valuable.

Personal Attributes

At Zenvo, practical ability and attitude are just as important as qualifications.

We are building our manufacturing capability alongside our vehicles, and we value people who enjoy contributing to that development.

We particularly value:

• Hands-on approach: Comfortable working in the workshop and turning engineering ideas into practical solutions.
• Whole-vehicle understanding: Able to consider how individual systems and assemblies come together during vehicle production.
• Ownership and initiative: Takes responsibility for tasks and follows them through to implementation.
• Adaptability and resilience: Comfortable working through challenges and changing requirements as our operation develops.
• Structured thinking: Able to develop clear, repeatable processes without unnecessary complexity.
• Team mentality: Enjoys collaborating with technicians and engineers to improve how we work.

What to Expect

Zenvo is at an exciting stage as we develop the processes, systems and facilities required for series production.

You will join a small Manufacturing Engineering team, working across both engineering development and practical vehicle assembly. There will be opportunities to shape how our cars are built, introduce improvements and see your work implemented directly in production.

Not everything will be established from day one, and there will be challenges as we grow. We are looking for someone who enjoys solving problems, takes pride in their work and wants to help build a successful manufacturing operation.

If you understand how cars are built, enjoy practical engineering and want to help shape the future of hypercar production at Zenvo, we would be pleased to hear from you.
