Verification Validation Engineer

Job Title: Engineer Product II - Product Verification & Validation

Description: Engineer Product II – Product Verification & Validation responsible for planning, coordinating, and executing PV&V activities for eMachine modules. Works with cross-functional design teams and global suppliers to review and refine electric motor designs, develop and execute test plans, support virtual analysis and lab testing, and ensure compliance with standards. Performs onsite lab reviews, test setup validation, documentation in VISION, and assists with motor teardown and failure analysis. Supports fixture design and non-standard testing using CREO/Windchill, collaborates on project planning and checklists, and drives continuous improvement in engineering processes, quality, and safety.

Your Responsibilities

• Contribute to the Product Verification & Validation (PV&V) of electric machines, including creating PV&V plans and activities in VISION, tracking activities in VISION, creating work requests, and reporting out Activity Completion Rating (ACR) to leadership.
• Work collaboratively with both internal and external customers and stakeholders ensuring cohesive and seamless support to define, execute and deliver the PV&V plan and activities for electric machines using design analysis, simulation, lab tests, field tests, etc. to ensure the design meets the application requirements for safety, performance, quality, reliability, and cost.
• Contribute to the interpretation and implementation of standards, specifications, and regulations relative to electric machines as they apply to the product.
• Deliver small-scale or medium-scale projects while working within an established program management plan.
• Develop own capabilities by participating in assessment and development planning activities as well as formal and informal training and coaching; gain or maintain external professional accreditation where relevant to improve performance and fulfill personal potential. Maintain an understanding of relevant technology, external regulation, and industry best practices through ongoing education, attending conferences, and reading specialist media.
• Create and maintain complex technical and/or user documentation to a high standard and back up files to ensure instant recovery if problems occur.

What Skills Are Needed

• 2 years’ experience working with rotating components, electric machine design, test, or implementation.
• Knowledge of data acquisition equipment and instrumentation such as accelerometers, thermistors, current transducers, and vector network analyzers.
• Strong written and verbal communications skills
• Ability to travel up to 25%. Driving to Labs in other locations.
• Experience working in Windchill and Creo

What Makes You Stand Out

• Knowledge of related electric drive components (inverters, connectors, energy storage, etc.).
• Knowledge in analytical details of electric machine types and design (continuous and peak load evaluation, electromagnetics, bearings, insulating materials, cooling, and manufacturability).
• Experience in working across groups with co-workers to share knowledge and work toward common goals.
• Knowledge of accelerated test methods
• Works without supervision and provides technical guidance when required on testing, evaluating, and improving engineering outcomes.
• Works without supervision and provides technical guidance when required on measuring and reporting progress toward intermediate targets to make sure a project stays on track to achieve its ultimate goals.
• Works with guidance (but not constant supervision) to manage projects and/or programs within desired cost, time, and quality parameters.
• Knowledge and experience in virtual verification
• 2 years’ experience with the VISION system creating activities, PV&V plans, work requests, ACR charts, and scheduling activities.

Education Details

• Bachelor of Science degree in electrical, mechanical, or a related field of study
