About the company:

Zero-emission solutions for cities. Human-centred, intelligent design - to revitalise public transportation.

At Arrival, our team is creating best-in-class electric vehicles using a radical new method of design and production. We work with some of the world's leading businesses and governments to achieve our goal of redefining mobility and transport ecosystems, transforming how people and goods travel and enhancing urban environments for all communities.

Innovation, rapid development and testing help us to push the boundaries. Our New Method takes our portfolio of patented technologies created in-house, and combines it with assembly in Arrival Microfactories. It’s a groundbreaking approach, leading to products with maximum functionality, peak efficiency, and an elevated experience – at a much more competitive price than other electric vehicles, and even fossil fuel vehicles.

We are looking for a design engineer to join the mobile robotics team, this person will be take ownership of the design process from cradle to grave on Mobile Robotics products:

Brief → Research → Concept Generation & Proposals → Prototype & Develop → Productionise 

What does this mean?

Brief: An ability to scope out briefs from what we want to achieve and deliver. Requires everything from cross communication with wider team and company down to recognising opportunities for small impactful improvements and taking the initiative to work on. For example, an entire robotic sub system such as an autonomous recharging system. This encompasses the electro-mechanical on board system and factory ground side power delivery system. Also an example, assembly lineside lean improvement on a robot assembly process.

Research: from blue sky novel ideation to liaising with team members for their particular experience and everything in between. Primary and secondary research techniques, supplier visits, site visits, conferences, meet ups, assembly line side feedback. This is a continuous ‘always learning’ part of the role to facilitate delivering best in class product.

Concept generation & proposals: includes all of your creative techniques: napkin sketches, presentation sketching, 3D CAD modelling, rendering, render animations, illustrations and more – communicate the idea in a clear and succinct way. Use the appropriate techniques for the right purpose, iterate quickly, strike the right balance between ‘quick and dirty’ and ‘polished presentable’ work. 

Prototype & Develop: detailed CAD development, FEA simulation studies, get physical: order/make parts, use workshop skills, fabrication, rapid prototyping, 3D printing, laser cutting: experiment, test, learn and iterate. Work with cross functional teams including but not limited to: electrical engineering/software/factory operations/suppliers

Productionise: suitable processes and material for scale up, supply chain capacity, BoM control, make vs buy analysis, FMEAs, technical engineering, technical drawings, tolerance stacks. We are putting our product into the real world here, be professional, ensure everything is covered, ask the right questions to enable the best delivery. 

Why would a design engineer want to join Arrivals Mobile Robotics team?
There is a unique opportunity here for the right candidate to shape the way we design and develop mobile robotic products for our internal industrial uses at scale. There is also an unprecedented opportunity to deliver to commercial markets our robotic products. Disruptive, innovative, challenging, courageous and empowered are some of the characteristics you will find in this role. You will be exposed to the fundamental core workings of the brilliant minds within the Mobile Robotics team and wider Arrival business, the best of the best have been assembled globally here, if this excites you and you can bring your A-game every day, we look forward to meeting you.
