Day-to-Day Responsibilities
Write test plans for new vehicle models, components or EV systems, including what will be tested, how and against which standard.
Set up test vehicles and rigs with sensors, data loggers and cameras so that performance can be measured accurately.
Run road, track and laboratory tests for braking, handling, ride comfort, durability and crash-related performance.
Test emissions and fuel economy, and check EV range, battery behaviour, thermal management and charging performance.
Collect and analyse test data, and compare results with design targets and safety or emission regulations.
Write clear test reports for design, quality and manufacturing teams, and recommend changes where a vehicle falls short.
Raise defects with design engineers, then verify that fixes work in later rounds of testing.
