What you'll do...

• Vehicle Testing and Evaluation: Conduct durability, performance, thermal-management, charging, and safety testing on prototype and production-intent electric vehicles in laboratory, dynamometer, test-track, and public-road environments.
• Diagnostics and Troubleshooting: Use specialized diagnostic tools, software, and test equipment to identify and resolve electrical, electronic, software, and mechanical issues involving batteries, electric motors, inverters, charging systems, thermal systems, and vehicle controls.
• Maintenance and Repair: Perform vehicle inspections, preventive maintenance, repairs, and component replacements, including work on high-voltage systems in accordance with established safety procedures.
• High-Voltage Safety: Follow all applicable high-voltage safety requirements, including personal protective equipment, electrical safe-work practices, and Lockout/Tagout procedures.
• Prototype Integration: Install and integrate prototype components, instrumentation, test hardware, wiring, and software builds. Perform software updates and approved calibration changes as required.
• Test Setup and Equipment Support: Assemble and configure test rigs and instrumentation. Operate and maintain equipment such as digital multimeters, oscilloscopes, battery analyzers, data-acquisition systems, and vehicle diagnostic interfaces.
• Documentation and Reporting: Accurately document test configurations, results, repairs, software versions, vehicle conditions, and technical issues. Provide clear findings and recommendations to support root-cause analysis and design improvements.
• Issue Resolution: Reproduce concerns, collect relevant data, support root-cause investigations, and verify corrective actions.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with engineering, design, manufacturing, service, and testing teams to resolve technical problems and improve vehicle design, validation methods, and service-repair processes.
• Workplace Organization: Maintain a safe, clean, and organized work environment while ensuring tools, equipment, vehicles, and test assets are properly maintained.
