  • Prepare vehicles for testing, including instrumentation installation, part changes, and vehicle diagnostics
  • Design and build new instrumentation or test equipment as needed.
  • Lead on & off-site test trips, including management and support of other technicians and operators in test vehicle setup and test execution
  • Work with internal and external test labs and proving grounds to direct testing activities
  • Mentor less-experienced technicians and operators to develop their skills and knowledge
  • Document results of testing and communicate issues found to the lead test engineer
What You’ll Bring
  • 2-year automotive degree or equivalent technical credentials
  • In-depth knowledge of modern vehicle systems and how they operate
  • Some exposure to vehicle testing, specifically related to Vehicle Dynamics, Chassis Dynos or Autonomous Vehicles, is preferred
  • Some fabrication skills preferred
  • Excellent written and spoken English
  • Must be comfortable driving prototype vehicles at (or over) their limit on closed courses
  • Ability to multi-task, prioritize and work in an extremely fast-paced environment
