## Description

Product Testing Engineer (Strength) is responsible for executing development projects with the viewpoint of Strength/Rigidity to test functioning prototypes that will eventually become production ATV/SxS vehicles, researching and applying new technologies to support business targets and maintaining global vehicle product quality. The Product Testing Engineer will utilize CAE, then validate those results by actual testing of a physical prototype units/parts., * Develop/Test basic component and system layouts for ATV/SxS prototype vehicles that achieve concept targets, function requirements, and manufacturing requisites with minimal supervision. Communicate specification requirements and manufacturing control points via prototype, production drawings, and prepare test summaries.

 * Utilize data acquisition systems with precision instruments and strain gauges to confirm the strength, rigidity, and durability of ATVs/SxSs.
 * Analyze, quantify, and summarize/present captured data to communicate the loading scenarios of ATVs/SxSs.
 * Set basic performance targets to satisfy vehicle concept and competitiveness. Perform validations of specification targets, requirements, components, and complete vehicles through application of engineering principles, simulations, and physical testing with minimal supervision. Conduct testing encompassing customer viewpoints with drawing specifications to check for deterioration/wear. Maintain accurate technical, development, and administrative documentation as required.
 * Capture real world customer usage data condition and reproduce in the laboratory setting utilizing hydraulic test actuators.
 * Create and manage schedule of individual work to ensure deadlines are met, communicate resource needs with supervisor, and effectively utilize contractor resources with minimal supervision. Manage vehicle builds and post-test teardown for evaluation of test specification/requirements.Consistently communicate project status real time and participate in project meetings, discussions, and development events.
 * Generate basic ideas that contribute to the evolution of new technologies. Support maturation of ideas to prepare for development applications with minimal supervision.
 * Design test fixtures to be able to validate vehicle component in the test lab. Work with the Fabrication Team to produce fixtures/jigs.
 * Support market quality themes. Utilize problem-solving methods to investigate root causes. Advance and implement C/M specs as necessary.
