Range and Performance Test Engineer

In this position...

In this role, you will take deep ownership of hub and chassis dynamometer testing, serving as a technical authority on road load characterization, drivetrain efficiency, and real-world performance translation.

You will partner closely with powertrain, controls, thermal, and vehicle dynamics teams to ensure our vehicles meet ambitious performance and range targets.

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

You'll have...

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Automotive Engineering or equivalent combination of relevant education and experience.
