Test and Validation Engineer

Your Job

As a Testing & Validation Engineer, you'll play a hands-on role in bringing new automotive products to life.

You'll work in a lab-focused environment, building test setups, running experiments, and seeing how products perform under real-world conditions.

You'll take products from concept to reality, developing and executing validation plans that ensure performance, reliability, and durability before they ever reach the road.

This is an ideal opportunity for an early-career engineer who enjoys building, testing, troubleshooting, and solving real engineering challenges alongside a collaborative team.
