Head Engineer – Electric Retro Sports Cars

Location: Ebbw Vale, South Wales
Employment Type: Full Time
Salary: Competitive + Performance Incentives + Opportunity to Help Shape an Exciting Automotive Brand

About Us

We are building something special: classic sports car soul with modern electric performance. Our mission is to create beautifully engineered retro-inspired sports cars that combine timeless design, cutting-edge EV technology, and an unforgettable driving experience.

We're looking for a Head Engineer who is as comfortable with a laptop as they are with a spanner. This is not a corporate desk job. We need a practical engineering leader who loves solving problems, building prototypes, getting hands-on in the workshop, and helping turn ambitious ideas into road-ready vehicles.

The Role

As Head Engineer, you will lead the technical development of our electric sports car programme, overseeing everything from concept design and prototyping through to vehicle integration, testing, validation, and production launch.

You will work closely with founders, suppliers, technicians, and manufacturing partners, acting as the technical heartbeat of the business.

This is a rare opportunity to help shape a new generation of British sports cars from our base in Ebbw Vale, Wales.

Key ResponsibilitiesEngineering Leadership

Lead all vehicle engineering activities across mechanical, electrical, and systems integration.
Develop and execute the product engineering roadmap.
Build and manage engineering processes, standards, and documentation.
Recruit, mentor, and develop future engineering talent as the company grows.

EV Powertrain Development

Lead integration of electric motors, batteries, inverters, charging systems, and vehicle control systems.
Oversee high-voltage architecture development and safety compliance.
Work with suppliers to select and validate EV components.
Support battery packaging, thermal management, and vehicle performance optimisation.

Prototype & Vehicle Development

Be actively involved in prototype builds and workshop activities.
Solve engineering challenges in real time during vehicle assembly and testing.
Design, develop, and validate new components and systems.
Manage vehicle testing programmes and performance development.

Manufacturing & Production

Ensure designs are manufacturable, scalable, and cost-effective.
Work closely with fabrication, machining, and assembly teams.
Establish quality standards and engineering sign-off procedures.
Support transition from prototype to low-volume production.

Compliance & Safety

Ensure all engineering activities meet relevant UK and European automotive standards.
Lead risk assessments and engineering reviews.
Champion a strong safety culture, particularly surrounding high-voltage systems.

Essential Skills & Experience

Degree or equivalent experience in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field.
Proven experience developing vehicles, powertrains, or complex engineering products.
Strong hands-on engineering and problem-solving ability.
Experience managing engineering projects from concept to delivery.
Excellent CAD and engineering design knowledge.
Comfortable working in a fast-moving start-up or entrepreneurial environment.
Strong communication and leadership skills.
Willingness to roll up your sleeves and work alongside technicians and builders when required.

Desirable Experience

High-voltage electric vehicle qualifications or certifications.
Experience with EV systems integration, battery systems, or power electronics.
Knowledge of vehicle homologation and automotive regulations.
Experience developing sports cars, performance vehicles, kit cars, or low-volume automotive products.
Familiarity with CAN Bus systems and vehicle control software.
Motorsport engineering experience.
Experience with prototype development and rapid iteration programmes.

The Person We Are Looking For

You are:

An engineer first and a manager second.
Creative, resourceful, and practical.
Passionate about classic sports cars and future mobility.
Comfortable making decisions and taking ownership.
Excited by building things that do not yet exist.
Equally happy in the boardroom, workshop, or test track.
Motivated by creating a British automotive success story.

Why Join Us?

Rare opportunity to shape a new EV sports car brand from the ground up.
Significant influence over vehicle design and engineering direction.
Hands-on involvement in every stage of development.
Work with a passionate team in the heart of South Wales.
Opportunity for equity participation for the right candidate.

Interested?

If you've ever looked at a classic sports car and thought, "I could make this faster, lighter, and electric," we'd love to hear from you. Join us in building the next generation of iconic British sports cars.

Pay: £70,000.00-£80,000.00 per year
