Summary

We are seeking a highly experienced technical leader to drive validation and optimization of machine performance and controls for large off-highway vehicles. This role focuses on improving R&D efficiency by aligning base machine development with autonomous systems, collaborating across multiple teams, and leading strategic test planning.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and execute strategic validation plans for machine performance and autonomous systems.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including engineering, proving grounds, and technology groups.
• Define requirements for virtual and hardware-in-the-loop simulations to reduce physical testing.
• Support controls and software validation across multiple new product introduction (NPI) programs.
• Provide technical leadership in workshops and field validation activities.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's in Engineering, Physics, Computer Science, or related field.
• 5–7 years of experience in machine performance, controls, testing, or simulation.
• Strong knowledge of large off-highway vehicle operations preferred.

Skills

• Expertise in controls software development and/or testing.
• Machine-level engineering experience.
• Familiarity with simulation methods and validation processes (VPD, SIL, HIL).
• Strong project management and communication skills.
