What you'll do...

Plan and execute vehicle testing for acceleration, power delivery, gradeability, and towing across various temperatures, SOC, and loading conditions
Contribute to the final design and commissioning of best-in-class test cells (chassis dyno, hub dynos, climatic chambers) and develop internal standards for EV range & performance testing
Create SOPs for lab operations in accordance to ISO/IEC 17025 for dyno calibrations/ maintenance and vehicle operations
Lead validation across chassis/hub dynos and on-road environments
Support global range and energy efficiency development & certification testing for regulatory labeling across international markets
Own test procedures for hub and chassis dynos, including grade simulations, towing mass/drag modeling. Specify dyno requirements for torque capacity, inertia simulation, and cooling
Direct precise instrumentation of test vehicles, including the installation of torque transducers, thermocouples, voltage/current measurements, & other instrumentation to ensure high-fidelity data acquisition for integrity and traceability 
Analyze large datasets to extract powertrain efficiency maps and provide correlation studies on physics-based models to diagnose discrepancies between simulation and real-world results
Drive collaboration with powertrain, controls, and thermal teams to provide test-driven feedback on motor/inverter calibration, torque limits, thermal derating, and aero trade studies
