Durability Engineer

We're looking for a highly analytical and results-driven Durability Engineer to join our Complete Vehicle Durability team. In this role, you will lead the design, planning, and execution of comprehensive durability testing programs for conventional and electrified vehicles, ensuring robust and reliable product performance. You will play a key role in delivering durability validation activities, working closely with cross‑functional teams to meet project milestones while addressing the challenges associated with electrified powertrains, vehicle management systems, and advanced multi‑material vehicle architectures.
Responsibilities

Lead the development, planning, and execution of complete vehicle durability validation programs in line with customer requirements and automotive standards
Define test strategies, load cases, and validation plans based on vehicle usage profiles and development targets
Oversee and conduct durability testing activities in laboratory and field environments, ensuring high‑quality data acquisition and traceability




Analyze and interpret durability test data to identify failure modes, degradation mechanisms, and improvement opportunities
Prepare and present detailed technical reports, including clear recommendations for design improvements and validation status
Drive durability validation of electrified vehicle architectures, including battery‑integrated structures, lightweight and multi‑material body designs, and evolving load paths linked to new vehicle layouts
Evaluate the impact of electric powertrain systems, thermal behavior, and mass distribution on vehicle durability performance
Analyze interactions between vehicle management systems (e.g., BMS, energy and powertrain control strategies) and mechanical durability, including interpretation of vehicle network data (e.g., CAN signals)
Support correlation between physical testing and simulations, contributing to model validation and durability prediction accuracy
