Manage, develop, and execute vehicle and laboratory level tests. Coordinate with cross functional teams including mechanical, controls and systems engineering to evaluate and validate product design.

Job Responsibilities 

•    Plan, coordinate, and execute lab projects according to the DVP&R on heavy vehicle components to meet specific program objectives. Develop test plans for E-powertrains along with product engineering development team.
•    Operate dynamometers, HV battery emulators, structural test lab and other high-powered lab equipment. Develop test scripts for test automation and data collection.
•    Coordinate and support vehicle and lab data acquisition related to axle, brake and suspension programs.
•    Communicate effectively with appropriate support functions, such as Product Engineering, Program Management, Test Program Coordinator’s and Technicians.
•    Provide technical leadership and guidance in testing equipment, instrumentation and updating/creating of test procedure in relation to high voltage systems, axle systems, suspension components and their interactions.
•    Lead the development of innovative test criteria based on experimental and analytical analysis such as Design of Experiment (DOE) and fatigue analysis.
•    Investigate and resolve test issues (Test system troubleshooting, integration, control software, test parts, support hardware, staging, logistics etc.).
•    Design and/or specify various transducers for purpose of obtaining loads from structural components. Provide specifications for test and fixture design and update laboratory work instructions.
•    Verify the validity of test criteria (loads, torques, power, efficiency, high voltage safety, etc.) and resolve conflicting issues prior to start of testing.
•    Provide support, analysis and reduction of test data utilizing sophisticated tools and computer programs (Examples: Axle Dynamometer programs, Weibull, Glyphworks, Vector, NI, LMS, etc.). Ensure the quality of measured data and that the test objective was met. Provide written and verbal reporting of test results, updates and closes test projects via PDM system.
•    Perform correlation of field test data to the lab environment.
•    Direct activities to evaluate new and/or competitive products and improve existing designs. Research emerging technologies and implement improvements as appropriate.
