About the role
At Aston Martin, we are creating a new generation of vehicles that combine exceptional performance, innovation and an unmistakable driving experience. As we continue to develop and deploy advanced driver assistance and automated driving technologies across our future vehicle programmes, we are looking for an accomplished ADAS Feature Lead Engineer to provide technical leadership and take ownership of feature delivery from concept through to production.
In this role, you will be responsible for the delivery strategy of specific ADAS and Automated Driving features, ensuring they achieve their technical and customer targets while being delivered in line with programme timing, cost and legislative requirements. You will define the intended customer experience, establish feature KPIs and use cases, and translate these into robust requirements that can be cascaded across the business and our engineering partners.
Working closely with cross-functional engineering teams, suppliers and technical partners, you will guide the implementation of feature content and ensure requirements are clearly understood and successfully delivered. You will lead features through key vehicle programme gateways, resolving technical and timing challenges and supporting the introduction of content into production vehicles.
While software implementation, vehicle testing and validation activities will be delivered by specialist teams, you will retain overall technical ownership of the feature. You will work closely with teams responsible for sensor integration and packaging, simulation and rig development, software implementation, vehicle planning, calibration, test and validation to ensure the appropriate level of engineering activity is delivered to achieve feature objectives.
You will also provide technical direction and guidance to other team members, helping to drive effective collaboration across the wider ADAS organisation and ensuring feature delivery remains aligned with vehicle programme priorities.
What we're looking for
You will bring proven experience in product delivery and technical problem-solving, combined with a strong understanding of ADAS technical development, including relevant regulatory requirements and industry standards. You will be comfortable taking technical ownership of complex features and coordinating delivery across multiple engineering disciplines, suppliers and programme stakeholders.
Experience with requirements management tools such as Polarion or IBM Engineering Requirements Management DOORS will be important, alongside a working knowledge of Functional Safety, DFMEA and Vector engineering tools. You will also have experience of delivery planning and supplier management, with the ability to identify and resolve technical or programme challenges while maintaining focus on quality, timing and the end customer experience.
This is an opportunity to play an influential role in shaping the ADAS and Automated Driving capabilities of future Aston Martin vehicles, taking sophisticated technology from requirements through to production and helping deliver an experience that reflects the performance, quality and character expected of the Aston Martin brand.
