Their commitment to technological excellence, quality, and sustainability has positioned them as a key player in the transition toward next-generation electric and hybrid vehicles.

In this role you will plan, execute, analyze, and report physical validation testing for electrified automotive drivetrain products.

The role focuses particularly on electronically controlled driveline systems and electric-drive products, combining electrical/electronic control knowledge with practical automotive testing.

You will work with automotive OEM customers, overseas engineering teams, suppliers, and external laboratories to define test conditions, prepare test equipment, execute system-level tests, analyze results, and verify that products meet technical requirements.

This is a hands-on experimental and validation role rather than a pure design or software-development position.
