Job description

Preparing vehicles for Chassis Rolls testing, including refueling/charging with selected fuels, purging vehicle evaporative canisters, facilitating SHED testing, movement (transport via PIV) of vehicles to/from soak areas, and in/out of dynamometer cell, installing vehicle in cell, connecting all requested instrumentation and hardware necessary to commence testing. Once test(s) sequence(s) is/are initiated, drive vehicles on designated test cycles with valid "driver metrics" (i.e. ERR, CSI pedal metrics) necessary to provide accurate emission samples. Upon completion of test and data acquisition, providing engineering with required data, proceed with removal of hardware from vehicle, and removal of vehicle from test site. Individuals will be responsible for autonomous maintenance in the test cell, maintaining cleanliness and functionality of equipment. The ideal candidate is expected to understand testing protocol and deliver high quality data to the engineering team through acceptable driving / test methods in a timely manner. Some mechanical and troubleshooting skills will be required in accordance to preparing vehicles for test and or identifying vehicle and test cell issues.

Basic Qualifications

• Have a High School Degree or Equivalent
• Minimum of 1 year of mechanic or equivalent skilled trade experience.
• Must be self-directed and have a good set of mechanic skills.
• Be able and comfortable assisting powertrain development engineers with calibration testing using vehicle driving simulation.
• Be able to handle heavy equipment
• Have a good understanding of computer utilization
• Ability to communicate effectively both written and oral
• Be able to operate test vehicles and follow detailed testing instructions
• Be willing to work overtime and weekends as needed to support critical test timelines
