Range & Performance Test Engineer at Ford responsible for vehicle performance and range testing. Collaborating with cross-functional teams to achieve high-efficiency standards.
Responsibilities
Plan and execute vehicle testing for acceleration, power delivery, gradeability, and towing across various temperatures, SOC, and loading conditions
Contribute to the final design and commissioning of best-in-class test cells (chassis dyno, hub dynos, climatic chambers) and develop internal standards for EV range & performance testing
Create SOPs for lab operations in accordance to ISO/IEC 17025 for dyno calibrations/ maintenance and vehicle operations
Lead validation across chassis/hub dynos and on-road environments
Support global range and energy efficiency development & certification testing for regulatory labeling across international markets
Own test procedures for hub and chassis dynos, including grade simulations, towing mass/drag modeling. Specify dyno requirements for torque capacity, inertia simulation, and cooling
Direct precise instrumentation of test vehicles, including the installation of torque transducers, thermocouples, voltage/current measurements, & other instrumentation to ensure high-fidelity data acquisition for integrity and traceability
Analyze large datasets to extract powertrain efficiency maps and provide correlation studies on physics-based models to diagnose discrepancies between simulation and real-world results
Drive collaboration with powertrain, controls, and thermal teams to provide test-driven feedback on motor/inverter calibration, torque limits, thermal derating, and aero trade studies
Requirements
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Automotive Engineering or equivalent combination of relevant education and experience.
5+ years of experience in vehicle performance or range testing (EV experience highly preferred)
Deep hands-on experience operating and managing Hub and Chassis dynamometers including direct experience with ISO/IEC 17025 and understanding of 40CFR1066 and UNECE R154 (WLTP)
Strong technical understanding of EV powertrain physics, torque/efficiency characterization, and road load modeling (coastdown testing)
Proven experience executing gradeability and towing performance testing
Proficiency in data analysis tools such as Python or MATLAB for processing complex vehicle datasets
Master’s degree in Engineering or a related field (even better)
Expertise in regulatory range certification procedures (EPA, WLTP, GTR) (even better)
Experience with thermal derating, protection strategies, and high-voltage EV safety practices (even better)
Familiarity with vehicle simulation tools (CarSim, GT-Suite, AVL) and data acquisition systems (Vector, ATI, DEWESoft) (even better)
Prior involvement in test lab build-out or dyno hardware specification (even better)
