Functional Ownership: Lead the technical strategy, design, and implementation of engineering solutions for EV powertrain dynos, battery simulators, and power electronics test benches.
Automation Consultancy: Act as the lead subject matter expert (SME) for internal engineering groups, providing hands-on guidance to help them set up and automate custom, one-off test rigs and specialized hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) systems.
Technical Architecture: Architect and maintain the "gold standard" for real-time controllers and data acquisition systems (DAQ), ensuring seamless integration of fault injection and automated test sequences.
Standards Development: Define and enforce technical standards for test automation (using LabVIEW, Python, and VeriStand) to ensure code reusability, safety, and data integrity across all testing platforms.
Facility Engineering & Expansion: Lead the technical specifications and engineering oversight for the relocation, expansion, and commissioning of new dyno cells and high-voltage laboratory spaces.
Advanced Instrumentation: Specify, install, and calibrate complex data acquisition hardware, ensuring compatibility with various communication protocols (e.g., CAN, EtherCAT, LIN, SPI).
Cross-Functional Mentorship: Provide technical leadership and mentorship to engineers and technicians across the organization, fostering a culture of technical excellence in hardware-testing methodologies.
