Test Engineer - Brakes Performance & ESP Testing

Tasks

The Test Engineer – Brake Performance & ESP Testing will lead the development and execution of brake, ABS/EBS, and ESP/ESC validation programs for commercial vehicles. Responsibilities include DVP/DVP&R preparation, vehicle instrumentation, data acquisition, post‑processing, and technical reporting while collaborating with Design, Homologation, Vehicle Dynamics, and Global Engineering teams. Hands‑on driving experience and proficiency with VBOX, IPETRONIK, and CAN‑based measurement systems are essential.

• Develop and maintain DVP and DVP&R documents for brake, ABS/EBS, and ESP/ESC validation activities.
• Plan and execute brake performance, homologation, and duty‑cycle measurement tests on commercial vehicles.
• Conduct service brake, parking brake, fade & recovery, split‑mu, and emergency braking evaluations.
• Perform ESP/ESC validation tests such as J‑Turn, Fishhook, Sine‑with‑Dwell, Double Lane Change, Curve Braking, and Yaw Stability.
• Instrument vehicles using VBOX, IPETRONIK, CAN loggers, brake pressure, wheel speed, steering angle, yaw rate, and temperature sensors.
• Support regulatory certification and homologation programs for braking and stability systems.
• Assist in CAPEX planning, budgeting, procurement, and commissioning of test equipment and instrumentation.
• Collaborate with Design, Homologation, Vehicle Dynamics, and Global Engineering teams to resolve test issues.
• Acquire, analyze, and post‑process test data, producing clear technical reports and recommendations.
• Maintain and calibrate test rigs, sensors, and data acquisition systems to ensure accuracy and safety.

Qualifications

• B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical, Automobile, Mechatronics, or a related engineering discipline.
• 3–9 years of experience in commercial vehicle testing and validation.
• Hands‑on commercial vehicle driving experience with a valid driving license.
• Proficiency with VBOX, IPETRONIK, CANalyzer, CANape, Concerto, Diadem or equivalent tools.
• Experience in ABS, EBS, and ESP/ESC validation and calibration activities.
• Knowledge of DVP and DVP&R preparation and validation planning.
• Strong skills in data acquisition, analysis, and post‑processing.
• Exposure to proving‑ground and public‑road testing environments.
• Ability to work cross‑functionally and communicate technical findings effectively.
• Familiarity with regulatory homologation requirements for braking and stability systems.
