Position Title: Vehicle Test Engineer – Propulsion and CAV Technologies

Overview: As a Vehicle Test Engineer specializing in the intersection of Vehicle Propulsion and Connected Autonomous Vehicles (CAV) technologies, you will be instrumental in determining the performance and safety of cutting-edge automotive systems. Working with internal and external partners, you will support/lead the planning, execution, and analysis of comprehensive test programs to validate the functionality and effectiveness of in-vehicle technologies contributing to the development of next-generation vehicles equipped with intelligent automation capabilities.

Key Responsibilities:

1) Test Plan Documentation and Development: Collaborate with cross-functional teams to develop comprehensive test plans and protocols to evaluate the functionality, performance, and safety of propulsion control and optimization enabled by ADAS/CAV technologies, encompassing a range of real-world driving scenarios and simulated environments. Plans should outline test objectives, methodologies, and success criteria. Ensure that test plans are well-documented and readily accessible to team members.

2) Test Execution: Manage and conduct thorough testing activities, including functional testing, and scenario-based testing, to assess system behavior and performance under various conditions and validate adherence to specifications and requirements. Utilize test management tools to maintain an up-to-date record of testing progress.

3) Data Collection and Analysis: Collect, analyze, and interpret test data using advanced measurement tools and techniques, leveraging statistical analysis and data visualization methods to derive meaningful insights and identify performance. Summarize findings in clear and concise reports and presentations, highlighting key metrics, observations, and recommendations for improvement.

4) Issue Identification and Resolution: Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve issues encountered during testing, collaborating closely with engineering teams to diagnose root causes, implement corrective actions, and verify effectiveness through iterative testing cycles.

5) Cross-Functional Collaboration: Collaborate in internal and external cross-functional teams

including software engineers, hardware engineers, systems integrators, and product managers to align testing efforts with project goals, drive continuous improvement, and support advances in testing methods and technology advancement.

6) Tracking and Progress Reporting: Regularly update project stakeholders on testing progress, presenting status reports, metrics dashboards, and visualizations to communicate key insights effectively. Provide timely updates on milestones achieved, risks identified, and any potential impact on project timelines.

7) Stakeholder Communication: Foster open communication channels with internal and external stakeholders. Solicit feedback, address concerns, and maintain alignment on testing priorities and objectives.

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, computer science, or related field, Master’s degree preferred.

Min. 3 years of experience including field testing of vehicles on closed track and/or on road.

Proven experience in automotive testing, with a focus on vehicle propulsion performance,

energy utilization, and/or ADAS/CAV Technologies.

Proficient comprehension of vehicle instrumentation, encompassing differential GPS, IMUs

(Inertial Measurement Units), and onboard energy measurement systems.

Thorough understanding of vehicle CAN bus infrastructure and logging mechanisms.
Knowledge of Cellular Vehicle-to-Everything (CV2X) technology, including On-Board Units (OBUs), Roadside Units (RSUs), and their communication protocols for signalized intersections. Additionally, adept understanding of Vehicle-to-Vehicle (V2V) communication standards.
Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to interpret complex data sets, identify patterns, and diagnose technical issues.
Effective communication skills, with the ability to collaborate with diverse stakeholders and

convey technical concepts clearly and concisely.

Experience and proficiency in MS Excel or related tools for test documentation, analysis, and

assessment.

Experience with programming languages (e.g., MathWorks-MATLAB, Python, and/or C/C++) for data analysis.
Strong commitment to safety, quality, and continuous improvement in all aspects of work.
Familiarity with sensor technologies (e.g., LiDAR, radar, cameras), perception algorithms, and vehicle dynamics.
Proficiency in testing methodologies, tools, and techniques, such as scenario simulation, test automation, and data analysis software.
Familiarity with vehicle and traffic simulation tools (e.g., VTD, CarMaker, Vissim, CARMA, …)
Familiarity with dSPACE in-vehicle systems including MicroAutoBox
Familiarity with ROS Autoware.AI or other AV platforms.
