Test Engineer

Mechanical/Mechatronic Product Validation Engineer/Tech

Prepares and develops space used for assembly of prototype vehicles. Develops, conducts and coordinates full vehicle build up of prototype vehicles and mechanical systems for Reliability, Durability, and Functional test groups using standardized documentation and reporting process in accordance with each group. Devises and implements build methodologies, test fixtures/vehicles and procedures by leveraging highly specialized instrumentation tools, mechanisms, hydraulic and pneumatic power sources to execute the required assemblies.

Utilizes fundamental mechanical engineering foundation and practical electronic & mechanical control system principles to conduct any required testing. Assist with analyzing test results and undertake root cause analysis of failures and/or design shortcomings requiring corrective action, proposing changes to improve component design and/or vehicle system performance. May also be involved with setting up and coordinating product specific assessment activities, workshops and/or ride & drives.

Support offsite transport and testing of products in real world applications but not excluding test chambers and test tracks.
