Mechanical Engineer - Engine and Durability Testing

Are you looking to work for a company that provides an innovative work environment, and your voice is heard?

We are seeking a hands-on Mechanical Development Engineer to support engine and component durability testing within a Mechanical Development (MED) team environment. This role is ideal for an engineer who enjoys being in the test cell
, working directly with engines, instrumentation, and data—not just running simulations or writing reports.

The primary focus of this role is engine and rotating component testing
, including pistons, connecting rods, cranktrain, and valve train systems
, under high-temperature, high-load, and high-strain conditions
. You will be responsible for test setup, execution, data acquisition, teardown, and documentation across multiple engine development programs.

• Set up and execute engine and component durability tests (engine dyno and bench testing)
• Instrument engines and components using thermocouples, strain gauges, pressure sensors, and other transducers
• Perform high-temperature, strain, fatigue, and metal durability testing
• Support testing of:
• Cranktrain, pistons, connecting rods
• Valve train and power cylinder systems
• Cooling, lubrication, vent, sealing, and EGR systems
• Monitor tests in real time, troubleshoot issues, and adjust test conditions as needed
• Collect, validate, and analyze test data using DAQ systems
• Perform post-test teardown, inspection, and failure analysis
• Document results clearly through test reports, data summaries, and technical recommendations
• Ensure testing complies with engineering standards, internal procedures, and customer requirements
• Collaborate closely with design, systems, and program teams to support development decisions

This role is best suited for someone who:

• Has direct engine or durability testing experience
• Is comfortable working onsite in test cells and labs
• Enjoys hands-on hardware work
  , not just modeling or simulation
• Understands how mechanical components behave under thermal and mechanical stress

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
• 3–5+ years of hands-on experience in:
• Engine testing, durability testing, or mechanical validation
• Dyno testing, component testing, or lab-based development work
• Experience with instrumentation, data acquisition, and test setup
• Strong understanding of engine mechanical systems
• Ability to document results clearly and communicate findings effectively

• Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering
• Experience with:
• Engine dynos or component test rigs
• Strain gauge application and thermal instrumentation
• Post-test teardown and root-cause analysis
• LabVIEW, data acquisition systems, or test automation tools
• Background in ICE engine development (OEM or Tier-1 environment)
