• Brake System Engineering (hydraulic, regenerative, blended braking)

• Vehicle Testing & Validation (track, proving ground, climatic)

• Palliative Development (component tuning for refinement)

• Data Acquisition & Analysis: CAN tools (e.g., Vector CANalyzer), MoTeC, Pi Toolbox, MATLAB (preferred)

• Instrumentation Setup: Sensor calibration, logger configuration

• Software Tools: CATIA V5/V6, TeamCenter, Excel, PowerPoint

• Documentation: DVP&R, test reports, build books

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical or Automotive Engineering

• Experience with EV braking systems and brake-by-wire technologies

• Familiarity with global brake performance standards (FMVSS, ECE R13H, AMS)

​

• Lead the refinement and validation of brake systems across prototype and production vehicle programs.

• Plan and execute vehicle-level brake tests including:

• Pedal feel evaluation

• Brake bedding and burnishing

• Stopping distance and fade testing

• NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) assessments

• AMS and regulatory performance tests

• Collaborate with suppliers on palliative development of brake components (pads, shims, discs, calipers).

• Configure and install data acquisition systems (CAN, sensors, loggers) for test instrumentation.

• Process and interpret test data to identify performance trends, root causes, and improvement opportunities.

• Author detailed test reports, DVPs, and technical documentation to support engineering sign-off.

• Coordinate with cross-functional teams (chassis, controls, software, suppliers) to align on development targets.

• Support international test trips, including logistics planning, load list preparation, and on-site execution.
