      • \n
    • Perform subjective evaluations for remote design and engineering teams
      • \n
    • Lead initial root cause analysis to solve issues found on vehicles at the proving ground or other off-site public/private test locations
      • \n
    • Liaison across multiple engineering departments and multiple cross-functional teams
      • \n

    Qualifications

      \n
    • 5+ years in a similar role
      • \n
    • Minimum of a Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or related science from an accredited university
      • \n
    • Experience running and maintaining a variety of vehicle level and component level tests
      • \n
    • Detailed experience working hands-on with in-vehicle data acquisition systems including installation, use, and data analysis
      • \n
    • Direct experience working with HV and/or LV, CAN, LIN, and Ethernet vehicle data networks, including debugging and reverse engineering
      • \n
    • Proving ground and on-road / on-track experience preferred
      • \n
    • Willing to travel on average 25% of the time with short periods over 50%
      • \n
    • Excellent problem solving skills with an eye for detail and a focus on quality
      • \n
    • Proven experience with at least 2 major vehicle systems (ie. Electric Powertrain, Chassis / Suspension, HVAC, Braking, etc.)
      • \n
    • Team first mentality
      • \n
    • Innate curiosity about all things automotive
      • \n
    • Ability to work autonomously
      • \n
