Job Description

Job Seekers, Please send resumes to [email protected]

Job Duties:

  • Conduct component- and system-level tests on a dynamometer focusing on thermal behaviour, fatigue cycles, NVH response, and overall durability.
  • Define test boundaries, run simulations, address real-time issues, and perform teardown analysis to inspect components post-test for wear and failure.
  • Set up instrumentation such as thermocouples, accelerometers, and strain gauges.
  • Prepare pre-test documentation, log deviations, and collaborate with design and quality teams to suggest design modifications based on test outcomes.
  • Perform borescope inspections to detect internal damage like pitting and scoring in gears after endurance tests.
  • Capture and annotate visual inspection findings using videos and images for engineering reviews.
  • Contribute to reliability reports and test summaries, helping determine root causes of issues such as misalignment, improper lubrication, or material fatigue.
  • Analyse collected test data (CAN signals, vibration, torque) to understand system behaviour and support design validation.
  • Filter noise, conduct fatigue analyses, and summarize findings in engineering reports.
  • Organize and export large datasets for trend analysis and comparison with historical data.
  • Optimize filter chains and create reusable data analysis templates in collaboration with CAE teams for fatigue correlation studies.
  • Use CATIA to model and simulate a vertical drop test rig for forklift assemblies, including safety feature design and geometry optimization.
  • Generate detailed 3D and 2D drawings, assign material specs and constraints, and coordinate with manufacturing teams to ensure design feasibility.
  • Simulate assembly sequences and perform fit checks to avoid interference during integration.
  • Perform FEA on drop-test machines to evaluate stress points, fatigue life, and vibration response.
  • Conduct modal and harmonic analyses to assess structural noise and resonance behaviour.
  • Create test scenarios with variable loads and constraints and present simulation results to cross-functional teams for design reviews.
  • Use Vector tools to record vehicle data during forklift test runs for troubleshooting and validating ECU signal transmission.
  • Configure signal databases, monitor bus loads, and interpret DTCs to assist with ECU communication diagnostics and software validation.
  • Conduct virtual simulations using ANSYS and CATIA to validate prototype configurations and identify weak points before manufacturing.
  • Perform material sensitivity analyses and document design iterations for final release.
  • Create test rigs and execute drop tests on forklift components per ANSI protocol, capturing deformation and structural integrity data.
  • Collaborate with safety and compliance teams to ensure drop-test procedures meet OSHA and internal standards.
  • Conduct repeated drop cycles to validate product consistency and maintain trial logs.
  • Diagnose gear and shaft failures using Romax for stress pattern analysis and drivetrain fault detection.
  • Compare simulation outputs with test data to identify gear noise, misalignment, and backlash trends.
  • Carry out tilt tests on forklift models per ANSI standards, measuring inclination and centre of gravity shifts due to operator and cargo weight.
  • Calibrate measuring equipment, prepare setup plans, and coordinate with safety officers during testing.
  • Compile results into regulatory compliance documents and engineering feedback reports.

Education: The minimum qualification required for performing the above specialty occupation duties is a bachelor's degree or equivalent in Computer Science or equivalent in a related field or a foreign equivalent is required closely related field with relevant experience.
