Job description

You have a bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering and 7+ years of hands-on motor vehicle design, development, manufacturing, including development and testing at the OEM or Tier 1 level. Experience in vehicle dynamics and crash performance, including vehicle structures, restraints, safety, and/or chassis systems is highly preferable. Familiarity with Heavy Trucks is a plus.

You are already an expert. Robson Forensic will train you to be a forensic expert.

As a Vehicle Crash / Automotive Engineering Expert, you will:

  • Investigate vehicle crash incidents.
  • Analyze vehicle systems and structures, applying your comprehensive knowledge of standards and practices.
  • Write clear, scientifically sound reports.
  • Provide expert testimony.


You will delve into the "why" behind incidents, critically assessing decision-making, operational procedures, and the standard of care. This role offers you a chance to:

  • Use your cumulative training, experience, and critical thinking skills.
  • Collaborate with highly respected experts.
  • Continuously learn and grow as an expert in your field.
  • Make a tangible difference in litigation.


LOCATION: Lancaster, PA (hybrid)

REQUIREMENTS:

  • Licensure: Active Professional Engineer (P.E.) license is desirable but not required.
  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering from an ABET-accredited college.

  • Knowledge: Thorough working knowledge of vehicle systems, vehicle dynamics, crash testing, and automotive engineering development & manufacturing processes.
  • Skills: Excellent technical, analytical, writing, and communication skills.
  • Aptitude: Strong ability to translate complex technical findings into clear, objective evidence for non-technical audiences.
  • Work Style: Approximately 20% travel for inspections; the remainder is focused on analysis and report drafting, working independently and as part of a collaborative team.
  • Prior forensic experience is not required. We seek professionals eager to apply their deep industry knowledge to a challenging new domain.


You must have a clean background screen, a driver’s license, and the ability to drive.
