What is an assistant factory test driver?

Assistant Factory Test Drivers are professionals who help test vehicles during and after the manufacturing process to ensure they meet quality and safety standards. Their responsibilities typically include driving vehicles on designated test tracks, monitoring performance, identifying defects, and reporting any issues to engineers or supervisors. They work closely with other quality control and engineering teams to ensure that each vehicle operates as intended before it leaves the factory. This role requires attention to detail, good driving skills, and a basic understanding of vehicle mechanics.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as an assistant factory test driver, and why are they important?

To thrive as an Assistant Factory Test Driver, you need a valid driver's license, a solid understanding of vehicle mechanics, and experience with automotive diagnostics or testing procedures. Familiarity with data logging equipment, test track protocols, and sometimes specialized certifications in automotive safety or testing standards are often required. Attention to detail, strong communication, and the ability to follow strict safety protocols set top performers apart in this role. These skills and qualities are essential to ensure accurate vehicle assessments, maintain safety, and support continuous improvement in automotive manufacturing.

What are the typical challenges faced by an assistant factory test driver, and how can they be managed effectively?

Assistant Factory Test Drivers often face challenges such as adapting to different vehicle prototypes, maintaining strict safety protocols during testing, and accurately documenting vehicle performance data. Managing these challenges requires strong attention to detail, the ability to quickly learn new vehicle systems, and clear communication with engineers and senior drivers. Building a good working relationship with the team and being proactive in reporting issues can help ensure smooth operations and professional growth in this role.

Job description

Field Service is specifically responsible to start-up commissioning Excitation Systems and in addition will support engineering and assist with factory test  products. Familiar with the technologies for static and brushless excitation turbine generators of combustion turbines, steam as well as hydro units.

This person is involved in all engineering activities associated with our excitation business in the US, Canada and Americas. Position requires engineer to travel up to 90% of his time and stay for extended time (~ 6 weeks) on jobsites. There is allowance for Field Engineer to return home every third weekend subject to jobsite activities and at least one more week of that assignment. Field engineer is expected to work in non-air conditioned and high humidity environments during the removal of the old equipment and installation of the new equipment. Fire Resistant Clothing (being long sleeve and trousers), safety glasses, steel toe dielectric boots and hard hat are required during site visits (90% of field engineer's on-site time). Due to construction, work environment is dusty or muddy. Work environment may have excessive amount of noise due to rotating combustion turbine operation coupled with generators requiring hearing protection devices. Especially during removal and installation of the equipment, machine grinder will be operating to cut the welding/bolts of the cabinets and a welding machine may need to be used during installation which generates high noise, small metal pieces and stress on the eyes due to flash / bright light emissions. Hazard protection is required for such conditions. Company will provide proper PPE.

Field engineer should be able to lift 50lb which is the weight of Thyristor block assembly. Most of the tool boxes weight around 45lb to 75lb and may need to be carried up to turbine deck climbing up stairs.

Due to nature of the service job, Field engineer will need to be available for travel on short notice regardless of the time of the day or day of the week.

Outages on sites are kept as short as possible to be productive so this requires extended work hours and/or shift work/night work. Company policy is a maximum of sixteen (16) hours of work in a twentyfour period with a minimum of eight (8) of rest time in addition to the jobsite travel time. Field engineer should be able to travel to job sites by airplane or by car.

Field engineers are required to have a vehicle drivers' license and should be able to drive to the work location and back to the resting location (home/hotel).

Our company provides supports to our customers outside of the U.S.A. Field engineer must have a valid passport and appropriate Visa paperwork (company sponsored) and should not be restricted with their travel to other countries for extended amount of time. Travel is mostly in South America (Mexico, Brazil, Venezuela, Peru, Trinidad and other countries), Canada and it is not uncommon to travel to Saudi Arabia and South Korea for installation and commissioning jobs. Some of the commissioning jobs in foreign countries may require field engineer to stay in Man Camps located in the construction site and usually it not close to a major city or facilities. Medical immunizations may be required for foreign travel.

  • Installation of electrical equipment on site
  • Testing electrical equipment and providing test reports
  • Provide timesheets and expense reports in timely manner
