The primary purpose of the role is to evaluate test results, identify abnormal or unexpected behavior, investigate potential causes, reproduce failures when appropriate, and develop evidence-based technical conclusions. The engineer converts test data and investigation findings into clear reports and recommended next steps for engineering decisions., * Develop and execute test plans and procedures for product performance, durability, environmental, and validation testing. * Build and verify test setups, including fixtures, samples, instrumentation, sensors, controls, and data-acquisition systems. * Confirm test conditions, configuration, calibration status, acceptance criteria, and safety controls before execution. * Monitor tests, document observations, preserve traceable data, and respond appropriately to abnormal conditions. * Collect, clean, process, and analyze test data using Excel or approved engineering and statistical tools. * Compare results against specifications, requirements, baselines, prior tests, and expected engineering behavior. * Investigate unexpected, inconsistent, or failed test results to determine whether the cause is related to the product, test method, instrumentation, software, fixture, setup, environment, or data quality. * Develop investigation plans, identify competing hypotheses, collect additional evidence, and perform focused testing to confirm or eliminate potential causes. * Perform structured root cause analysis for test failures and support corrective-action verification through objective testing. * Identify trends, correlations, repeatability concerns, outliers, and potential failure modes within test data. * Prepare technical reports that clearly document the objective, setup, method, results, analysis, conclusions, limitations, and recommended next steps. * Present test and investigation findings to engineering and cross-functional stakeholders. * Develop and improve test instructions, data templates, analysis methods, fixtures, and test scripts. * Maintain test equipment, fixtures, software, files, and work areas in a ready and organized condition. * Support new product development and sustaining engineering projects where testing or investigation analysis is required. MEASURES OF PERFORMANCE * Reduction in warranty claims / customer complaints (RMAs, credits) from early field failures or below specified performance * Improved product lifetime in the field * Robust and repeatable new product introduction (HALT test and performance data prior to launch) * Data driven correlation of accelerate life testing process and field performance
