The Role

We are seeking a hard-working, innovative, and curious Validation Test Engineer and Lead System Test Engineer to add to our Global Powertrain & Electrification Validation (GPEV) team. We ensure the design of our Electrified propulsion and powertrain products (Batteries, Drive Units, Power Electronics, Transmissions, Engines) delight our customers. If you enjoy a fast-paced environment with an opportunity to help shape and grow our validation for the future, then this may be a position for you!

As a Validation Test Engineer (VTE), you will be planning, developing methods, and carrying out system and component-level testing in world-class labs. This is a hands-on position. In this role crucial skills like creativity, independent judgement, and multi-functional teamwork are prized and can be further developed. You will operate with design & validation technical specialists, systems engineers, lab integration engineers, and technicians to bring exciting products to market. Engineers in this role may have opportunity for growth and develop into Lead System Test Engineers (LSTE). LSTE's learn leadership skills and will be engaged in programs throughout the development lifecycle. It is a great way to get involved with mentoring other VTEs, while also developing new and/or special validation tests and fixtures; just to name a few.

Responsibilities Include:

• Develop and execute comprehensive test plans, test methods and test automation to support validation sign-off, address challenges as they arise in a rapidly growing industry

• Applies analytical tools in validation process

• Support an Agile Team-based structure where you will rotate through fresh assignments supporting test execution, process innovation, and moving toward virtual (hardware-less) validation techniques

• Operate with focus on safety in state-of-the-art test lab environments

• Investigate testing anomalies and generate reports to highlight findings

• Perform and support root cause analysis and correction of system level problems relating to hardware validation

• Analyze and peer review test results and participate in data-driven efficiency initiatives

• Engage in programs as production-intent designs are available and see them through to launch

• Coordinates and consults with various departments outside engineering

• Collaborates Interfaces with Component and System Validation Engineers

• Stays abreast of new technology and competitive products

• BS in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Computer Science, or Physics

Required Skills / Qualifications

• Bachelor of Science in Engineering, Physics, Math, Computer Science, Information Technology, or Chemistry

• Minimum of 2 years of post-graduation engineering experience

• Demonstrated excellence in communication and collaboration in a diverse team environment

• Ability to learn complex system functions (i.e. engine, transmission, electric propulsion (Drive units & RESS)) quickly

• Demonstrated ability to influence without authority

Preferred Skills /Qualifications

• Experience with electrical, thermal, or chemical virtual modeling and simulation

• Willing to gain specific training from a variety of people / techniques

• Proficient with Inca and/or Puma

• Calibration and/or development experience

• Outstanding data-driven decision-making history

• Demonstrated analytical ability for unusual and difficult problems

• Familiar with laboratory operations and test equipment including engine/transmission dynamometers, load frames, power supplies, electrodynamic shakers, environmental chambers, test site controllers, continuous monitoring, fixture design/fabrication, test equipment/setups, and laboratory accreditation standards

• Experience with RESS (battery) durability and safety testing

• Working knowledge of Li-Ion Battery cell, modules, and batteries

• Experience in one or several areas: Vehicle or System-Level Calibration, ICE or Conventional Transmission Development or Validation, Instrumentation & Test Automation

• Demonstrated interpersonal skills and ability to work with cross-functional teams

• Knowledge of reliability & durability calculations

• Demonstrated adaptability and ability to change with program modifications/updates

• Self-motivated to work independently

Education and Training – Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering, Computer Science, or Physics.

Mechanical Engineering Degree is preferred

Work schedule requirements - Technically the position is hybrid, though functionally it's almost entirely on site. The majority of the worker's time will need to be on site due to the nature of the position, but there are times where they may be able to or may have to support from home, depending on the circumstances. We expect them to be 100% on site until they're experienced enough to be independent, likely for the first 4-6 months.

1 2-4 years of experience strong familiarity with engines

2 Familiarity with working in a lab environment (e.g. safety, instrumentation, troubleshooting)

3 Familiarity with data post processing (e.g. data review, identify good vs. bad data, presenting results effectively)
