Dyno Test Engineer

Key Responsibilities & Duties

Test Execution & Stand Operations

* **Setup & Operation:** Configure and operate motor dynamometer test stands and associated test automation software/DAQ systems.

* **Test Execution:** Perform functional, performance, efficiency, thermal, durability, endurance, load, torque, and open/close loop testing on electric motors, inverters, and controllers.

* **Electrical Testing:** Execute specialized electrical testing including insulation resistance, Hi-Pot, voltage drop, continuity, and LCR measurements.

* **Environmental Testing:** Operate high-voltage power supplies, power analyzers, climatic chambers, and specialized high-voltage test equipment safely.

* **Monitoring & Calibration:** Monitor torque, speed, voltage, current, power, temperature, vibration, and efficiency parameters; conduct dyno setup and sensor calibration.

Hardware Preparation & Bench Build

* **Assembly & Harnessing:** Build and maintain test setups, test benches, fixtures, crimping setups, wire harnesses, cable assemblies, and connectors.

* **PCBA Rework:** Perform hands-on PCBA rework and component replacement (SMT and through-hole) using precision soldering and desoldering techniques.

Data Analysis, Reporting & Root Cause Analysis

* **Data Processing:** Collect, review, analyze, and summarize complex test data using DAQ systems, data loggers, and analytical tools.

* **Technical Documentation:** Prepare clear, accurate, and structured test reports for engineering reviews.

* **Troubleshooting:** Diagnose DUT (Device Under Test) failures, instrumentation issues, wiring faults, and test stand hardware integration problems.

* **Root Cause Analysis:** Support failure investigations using structured problem-solving methodologies (e.g., 8D, Fishbone, 5 Whys).

Lab Compliance & Safety

* **Safety Standards:** Enforce strict adherence to ESD controls, electrical safety, high-voltage safety protocols, and laboratory procedures.

* **Lab Management:** Maintain 5S standards, equipment usage logs, inventory records, and instrument calibration schedules to ensure continuous audit readiness.

* **Continuous Improvement:** Participate in lab best-practice, standard work, and productivity enhancement initiatives.

Qualifications & Skill Requirements

Education & Experience

* **Diploma** in Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, or a related discipline.

* **5 to 8 years** of hands-on experience in electric motor dyno testing, electrical product validation, or laboratory test stand operations.
