The Test Engineer - Brake Performance ESP Testing will lead the development and execution of brake, ABS/EBS, and ESP/ESC validation programs for commercial vehicles. Responsibilities include DVP/DVPR preparation, vehicle instrumentation, data acquisition, post-processing, and technical reporting while collaborating with Design, Homologation, Vehicle Dynamics, and Global Engineering teams. Hands-on driving experience and proficiency with VBOX, IPETRONIK, and CAN-based measurement systems are essential.
- B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical, Automobile, Mechatronics, or a related engineering discipline.
- 3-9 years of experience in commercial vehicle testing and validation.
- Hands-on commercial vehicle driving experience with a valid driving license.
- Proficiency with VBOX, IPETRONIK, CANalyzer, CANape, Concerto, Diadem or equivalent tools.
- Experience in ABS, EBS, and ESP/ESC validation and calibration activities.
- Knowledge of DVP and DVPR preparation and validation planning.
- Strong skills in data acquisition, analysis, and post-processing.
- Exposure to proving-ground and public-road testing environments.
- Ability to work cross-functionally and communicate technical findings effectively.
- Familiarity with regulatory homologation requirements for braking and stability systems.
- Develop and maintain DVP and DVPR documents for brake, ABS/EBS, and ESP/ESC validation activities.
- Plan and execute brake performance, homologation, and duty-cycle measurement tests on commercial vehicles.
- Conduct service brake, parking brake, fade recovery, split-mu, and emergency braking evaluations.
- Perform ESP/ESC validation tests such as J-Turn, Fishhook, Sine-with-Dwell, Double Lane Change, Curve Braking, and Yaw Stability.
- Instrument vehicles using VBOX, IPETRONIK, CAN loggers, brake pressure, wheel speed, steering angle, yaw rate, and temperature sensors.
