## About the Role

* Bachelor's degree in mechanical or electrical engineering.
 * Engineering experience in dynamometer test cells, with preference given to experience in powertrain dynamometer test cells.
 * Experience with cell automation software and control systems, including AVL PUMA, Horiba Stars, Schenck X-One, etc.
 * Strong interpersonal skills and the ability to work collaboratively with diverse teams in a union-represented, multi-shift lab environment.
 * Deep understanding of dynamometer operation and the modes of operation used to control test articles based on test requirements.
 * Ability to integrate devices and instrumentation into a dynamometer test cell to meet test objectives.
 * Expertise in the types of instrumentation signal types, such as analog inputs/outputs, digital inputs/outputs, and frequency signals encountered in dynamometer test cells.
 * Thorough understanding of vehicle road load coefficients, road load derivations, and vehicle energy demand.
 * Ability to trace data flow, from its source to its final destination in a data file.
 * Knowledge of basic software logic (operators & functions) and ability to write simple programs using languages such as Visual Basic, Python, or C.
 * Proficient in setting up a CAN network in a test cell, modifying DBC files, and using software like CANalyzer to collect and analyze CAN signals.
 * Experience with ETAS equipment and software, including MDA and INCA.
 * Ability to use controller diagnostic software to identify active and stored PCodes (faults).
 * Experienced user of Microsoft Office products, particularly Excel, Word, and PowerPoint.
 * Familiarity with emission and fuel economy testing documentation, including CARB and CFR documents related to emissions testing laws, calculations, and system verifications for combustion engines, PHEV, and battery electric vehicles.
 * Understanding of the operation and limitations of HV Batteries, Battery models, and battery emulators (e.g., AV900, AVL BTEXXX).
 * Knowledge of PLC systems and their application in controlling critical functions within powertrain test cells.

## Description

* Perform emissions, fuel economy, and V2V tests in a powertrain dynamometer test cell.
 * Understand and operate test equipment, measurement instrumentation, dynamometer operation, and measurement systems for accurate test execution.
 * Integrate various devices and instrumentation into the test cell as required by calibration engineers.
 * Troubleshoot test issues, including data loss, premature test shutdowns, and test execution failures.
 * Take ownership of test cell operations by ensuring proper installation, equipment operation, and smooth test execution.
 * Oversee data generation, collection, and organization to support calibration, hardware, and software decisions.
 * Interact with facilities, instrumentation, and vehicle calibration teams to resolve test cell-related issues.
 * Work with PLC-controlled systems to perform test procedures effectively.
 * Ensure tests meet regulatory and industry standards, such as emissions and fuel economy testing requirements.
