Collaborate with suppliers on palliative development of brake components (pads, shims, discs, calipers).
Configure and install data acquisition systems (CAN, sensors, loggers) for test instrumentation.
Coordinate with cross-functional teams (chassis, controls, software, suppliers) to align on development targets.
Lead the refinement and validation of brake systems across prototype and production vehicle programs.
Drive continuous improvement through data-led decision-making and iterative development cycles.
Process and interpret test data to identify performance trends, root causes, and improvement opportunities.
Author detailed test reports, DVPs, and technical documentation to support engineering sign-off.
Support international test trips, including logistics planning, load list preparation, and on-site execution.
