You will determine actions and acceptance criteria to achieve the project's durability targets and meet customer requirements. Actions may include simulations, calculations, or specific tests such as bench tests or complete vehicle tests.

Additionally, you will contribute to enhancing our processes by analyzing data, exploring new ways to understand customer usage and expectations, performing measurements, bench testing, and conducting calculations in virtual environments. You will work with the Test Engineering team to refine our methods and testing codes and identify verification needs for new technologies.
