Conduct hands-on component and system level R&D: characterization, reliability, and durability testing
Work directly with reliability and design engineers to support Design Validation Plan (DVP) development, and lead test planning activities (test scheduling, prioritization, specifications etc.)
Develop test fixtures using CAD and work with in-house or external labs for fixture fabrication
Conduct detailed inspections such as torque checks, crack checks, CAN signal review, etc. to identify and root cause failures
Write necessary scripts to automate testing
Conduct data acquisition and instrumentation of sensors such as load cells, strain gages, LVDT etc.
Investigate test failures, post process test data and make detailed test reports for clear communication of results
Work in close collaboration with test technicians, instrumentation, CAE, reliability and design teams
Maintain a clean and organized workspace in a highly dynamic and fast paced environment
What You’ll Bring
Bachelor's Degree in Mechatronics, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering, or equivalent experience
Strong engineering fundamentals
Test experience from school projects, internships, or other relevant experience
You love to be hands-on, genuine curiosity to figure out why something doesn’t work
Demonstrated experience debugging and troubleshooting technical problems
Experience with sensors (load cells, strain gages, LVDT etc.) and data acquisition systems such as National Instruments, Dewesoft, etc.
Experience with CAD and fixture design (CATIA background is a plus)
