Full job description

Are you ready to lead innovation at the cutting edge of powertrain engineering?

We have an exceptional opportunity for a Principal Powertrain Engineer to shape the next generation of high-performance Internal Combustion Engines (ICE) and advanced powertrain systems.

As a strategic technical leader, you’ll set the vision, guide engineering teams and drive innovation for powertrain systems across a diverse range of projects. From pushing the limits of performance to exploring pioneering technologies, you’ll play a pivotal role in steering our engineering direction and influencing key organisational decisions.

Gibson Technology is globally recognised for engineering excellence in designing, developing and manufacturing high-performance engines and powertrain systems for world-leading race series. Renowned for our LMP2 powertrains, we’ve been delivering cutting-edge engineering solutions that push the limits of performance for over 40 years. Our achievements can be attributed to our highly skilled and committed workforce consistently delivering excellence and innovation at the highest level of motorsport.

Key Responsibilities:

This is more than a technical role, it’s your opportunity to leave a lasting impact on our products, our teams and our future.

Alongside the responsibilities of a Senior Powertrain Engineer, you’ll take on Principal-level leadership to set the standard for powertrain systems engineering excellence. Your responsibilties will include some of the following:

Define and lead the technical direction for ICE and powertrain systems development, from concept and architecture through control, testing and optimisation.
Establish and maintain engineering standards, development processes, simulation tools and documentation to deliver high-performance powertrain solutions.
Provide technical leadership across engine and powertrain development, including calibration, controls, testing, data analysis and fault diagnosis.
Act as the organisation's powertrain subject matter expert, shaping long-term engineering strategy and driving technical excellence.
Identify and implement emerging technologies and innovative methodologies to maintain a competitive advantage in powertrain development.
Deliver remote race support, providing rapid diagnostics and technical solutions during testing and race events.
Collaborate with technical leaders, project teams and stakeholders to align engineering activities with business, project and customer objectives.
Manage powertrain engineering activities, ensuring effective planning, resource allocation, budgets and on-time project delivery.
Mentor and develop engineering talent, building technical capability and fostering a culture of continuous learning.
Drive continuous improvement initiatives to enhance the performance, efficiency, reliability, scalability and sustainability of powertrain development.

Key Competencies

Strategic thinker with a practical approach to solving complex technical challenges.
Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with excellent attention to detail.
Proven ability to lead multiple technical workstreams, prioritise effectively, and deliver against objectives.
Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills across all levels.
Passion for performance, innovation, and motorsport.

What We're Looking For

Degree in Engineering or equivalent, with extensive experience in motorsport or high-performance automotive powertrain engineering.
Hands-on experience in engine and powertrain development, race engineering, or performance engine applications within FIA, WEC, GT3, Formula, or OEM motorsport environments.
Strong understanding of combustion engine design, thermodynamics, combustion control, and performance optimisation.
Expert knowledge of powertrain calibration, controls, performance, and reliability engineering in a competitive development environment.
Proficiency with industry-standard engineering tools such as GT-Power, Ricardo WAVE, MATLAB/Simulink, INCA, CANalyser, Pi Toolbox, and 1D simulation/modelling software.

Benefits

Competitive salary & benefits package.
Career growth.
Professional development opportunities.
Company pension scheme.
Collaborative, supportive, and dynamic work environment.

Due to the location, we recommend applicants have access to their own vehicle.

Competitive salary in line with experience and market rates, with full details provided at the point of initial contact.

Closing Date for applications: 14.08.2026
