Description

BOLD is committed to shaping the future of high-performance mobility from Formula 1 to defense, aviation and marine. In our mission to deliver innovative and impactful products in the mobility sector, we are building the company whilst working with clients in exciting engineering and manufacturing challenges.

We are a leading company in advanced technology and engineering, operating through two highly complementary divisions and delivering critical solutions for mission-essential applications.

  • BOLD Technologies (BT)

Designs, develops and manufactures high-voltage battery systems and electric propulsion system components for defence applications, tactical vehicles, military platforms, aviation and advanced mobility. BOLD is an international benchmark in defence electrification, supplying systems to United States Army programmes and collaborating with leading defence primes in the US and Europe.

  • BOLD Applied Engineering (BAE)

Provides top-tier professional engineering services, primarily to elite motorsport teams (especially Formula 1), in areas such as composite design, mechanical engineering, aerodynamics and systems integration. This expertise is transferred directly to complex defence sector programmes.

Together, BT and BAE allow BOLD to offer a unique blend of technology, engineering services, and execution capability to elite customers operating at the highest levels of performance.

The systems engineer is responsible to contribute to the design and development of battery systems by supporting requirement definition, verification planning, and system-level coordination across teams. This role ensures technical consistency in line with BOLD’s commitment to deliver high-performance, safe and reliable battery solutions.
