Job Description
What you'll be able to do:
- Conduct vehicle testing on test tracks, public roads, dynamometers, and controlled environments
- Define, create, and drive execution for range and performance test targets while working cross functionally with systems and sub-systems engineering teams
- Develop and execute comprehensive test plans for range and performance attributes, including energy consumption, coastdowns, acceleration, towing, gradeability and real-world validation
- Select proper instrumentation, physically instrument vehicles, and ensure the quality and accuracy of recorded data (current clamps, voltage taps, pressure taps, thermocouples, etc.)
- Support fleet-based validation activities to help drive edge case extraction, localized product use testing, and data ingestion
- Analyze test data to identify, diagnose, and troubleshoot range and performance issues, trends, and defects
- Support definition and realization of KPIs to drive product use and performance metrics
- Document test results, track findings in Jira, and present clear, actionable recommendations to engineering and program stakeholders
- Drive traceability and directly support defect triage and management related to range and performance concerns
- Collaborate with design, development, calibration, and manufacturing teams to resolve identified issues and refine vehicle performance
- Support planning and execution of vehicle tests to identify and align to homologation topics
- Maintain and calibrate testing equipment to ensure accuracy and reliability throughout test campaigns
- Contribute to the development and implementation of new test methodologies and internal standards for range and performance testing
- Travel to support test trips, program milestones, and validation activities at various locations across the US
