## Description

Ford’s Electric Vehicles, Digital and Design (EVDD) team is charged with delivering the company’s vision of a fully electric transportation future. As a Lead Dyno Engineer, you will own the readiness, calibration, and data integrity of our chassis and hub-coupled dynamometer lab supporting EV development and certification testing.

Responsibilities:

- Own dyno readiness for chassis and hub-coupled systems: calibration schedules, preventative maintenance, and equipment qualification.

- Lead EV energy consumption, range, and road load testing per SAE J1634, J2263/J2264, and 40 CFR Part 86 + Parts 1065/1066 certification requirements.

- Lead EU WLTP testing for BEVs, including road load setting, coastdown correlation, and range/consumption protocols.

- Author and version-control SOPs, QA documentation, and calibration logs for audits.

- Complete final design for optimized lab operations, including additional test cell instrumentation, safety protocols, and data visualization.

- Run thermal and range development programs , chamber testing, HVAC load studies, battery thermal management, and range degradation across drive cycles and climates.

- Lead the lab’s pursuit and maintenance of ISO17025 accreditation: document control, method validation, uncertainty analysis, proficiency testing, and audit readiness.

- Build and continuously improve a lab management system covering test request intake, scheduling, execution, and data delivery.

- Establish quality checkpoints at pre-test setup, in-test monitoring, and post-test data validation, including statistical outlier detection and data integrity checks before delivery.

- Support test engineers with data analysis and reporting: process raw dyno, CAN, and high-voltage energy measurement data into validated results; help develop analysis scripts/templates for energy consumption, range, and thermal performance trends.

- Analyze test-to-test and lab-to-lab data variability, driving root cause investigations and corrective actions for calibration drift or data anomalies.

- Maintain calibration and traceability records for dynamometer load cells, power analyzers, and current/voltage + temperature/pressure instrumentation.

- Serve as primary technical liaison for internal homologation team for support with EPA, EU technical services, and accreditation auditors.

- Mentor technicians and engineers on test procedures, calibration, and data quality practices.

- Coordinate with battery/thermal/SW engineering and program teams to align test scheduling with development and certification milestones.

Qualifications:

- Mechanical, Electrical, or Automotive Engineering or equivalent combination of relevant education and experience.

- 7+ years in automotive test engineering, with dynamometer lab experience on electrified vehicle programs.

- 3+ years in a lead/senior engineering role for compliance, quality, or lab management.

- Working knowledge of SAE J1634, J2263, J2264,  EPA EV certification requirements, and EU WLTP BEV test procedures.

- Experience with EV thermal/range development testing across various conditions.

- Experience supporting ISO17025 accreditation, including measurement uncertainty and audits.

- Strong data analysis skills: proficiency in MATLAB, Python, or similar for processing dyno/CAN/energy data, building automated reports, and identifying trends or anomalies.

- Experience with high-voltage energy measurement systems, calibration traceability, and metrology.

- Experience managing lab information/test management systems.

- Strong technical writing skills for SOPs and audit documentation.

Benefits:

- Immediate medical, dental, vision and prescription drug coverage

- Flexible family care days, paid parental leave, new parent ramp-up programs, subsidized back-up child care and more

- Family building benefits including adoption and surrogacy expense reimbursement, fertility treatments, and more

- Vehicle discount program for employees and family members and management leases

- Tuition assistance

- Established and active employee resource groups

- Paid time off for individual and team community service

- A generous schedule of paid holidays, including the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day

- Paid time off and the option to purchase additional vacation time.
