We are seeking a Diagnostics Engineer to join an advanced automotive engineering team focused on climate control systems, vehicle diagnostics, and service/manufacturing support. This role is ideal for someone with strong experience in UDS, OBD-II, CAN, LIN, FlexRay, Ethernet, DFMEA, fault detection, and diagnostic strategy development.

As a Diagnostics Engineer, you will develop, validate, and optimise diagnostic routines, fault detection methods, health-check strategies, and system logic for climate/HVAC domain systems. You will collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to ensure robust diagnostic coverage across hardware and software changes, supporting both manufacturing and global service operations.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop and validate diagnostic strategies for climate/HVAC systems.

  • Conduct system logic reviews, DFMEA, failure analysis, and create corrective actions.

  • Lead root-cause investigations and produce technical diagnostic documentation.

  • Design and validate health-check routines for vehicle electronic systems.

  • Work with CAN, LIN, FlexRay, Ethernet and other in-vehicle network protocols.

  • Use diagnostic tools and platforms such as TOPIX, MSOSA, or equivalent.

  • Support service engineering teams with diagnostic guidelines and serviceability improvements.

    Key Skills Required

  • Automotive diagnostics engineering (service or manufacturing).

  • Strong understanding of UDS, OBD-II, fault detection and diagnostic communication.

  • Knowledge of vehicle electrical networks and embedded system behaviour.

  • Experience with DFMEA, failure analysis, and system design logic.

  • Ability to produce clear technical documentation and diagnostic workflows.

  • Background in climate/HVAC systems is highly desirable.

    This role offers the opportunity to influence diagnostic quality, serviceability, and vehicle performance across major automotive programmes.

    If you’re an automotive Diagnostics Engineer wanting to work on complex vehicle systems, diagnostic innovation, and climate-domain technology, we’d like to hear from you. Apply today
