https://illinoisjoblink.illinois.gov/jobs/12287038 Position Purpose:
Responsible for validating design, test fixtures, and test methods. Also
accountable for leading major test projects and providing leadership for
data acquisition.
Essential Functions:
Validates suspension design, test fixtures, and test methods using
classical hand calculations, free body diagrams, finite element
analysis, dynamic system models, and test data analysis. Conducts data
acquisition, benchmarking, and data analysis in support of new product
designs and dynamic modeling validation. Determines test conclusions,
document results in test logs and technical reports.
Lead major test projects including new Capital Test Equipment
installations such as new fatigue and data acquisition equipment, RPC,
EMA, etc. This includes specification of equipment, CER preparation,
installation, and validation of test results such as cycles/miles to
failure, frequency response, strain/stress response, etc.
Provides leadership for data acquisition in the laboratory, proving
grounds, and field, with the support of laboratory technicians.
Develop/specify new test techniques and technologies and document them
in ENG procedures. Design/develop and acquire new test fixtures and
equipment. Validates test boundary conditions through the use of
appropriate test-analysis modeling. Develop load transducers, ride, and
handling equipment, etc. Lead training of technicians for standard
application of ENG procedures and assure compliance to such standards,
reducing data, developing test conclusions and reporting results in test
logs.
Lead ride and handling tuning, development and troubleshooting working
with new product teams, customer/field issues, etc. This will include
material acquisition, vehicle and equipment planning, coordination with
vendors, etc.
Plan and execute all aspects of complicated tests such as RPC based
structural fatigue testing, experimental modal analysis, field
measurements and proving ground tests including vehicle
coordination/acquisition, vehicle modification, test equipment
specification, acquisition, set-up, service quotations, time plans etc.
Represent the company at OEM and Fleet customers in test planning,
vehicle dynamic tuning and troubleshooting problems. This includes
customer visits, follow up and presentations.
Identify, define, and implement improvements to processes through the
application of problem-solving tools by individuals and/or teams.
Provides continuous improvement through employee development, process
improvement and elimination of waste. Helps to assure safety in the lab
and office.
Additional Supporting Responsibilities
Establishes and evaluates tests for suspension systems and components.
Develops and documents standardized test procedures (WRI-XXX) for common
and unique tests which may be repeated.
Allocates resources (people & equipment) and when required, obtains
additions, with the proper approvals.
With Design Engineers, develops test plans and revisions as required as
the test progresses.
Develops test techniques such as modal analysis, expanded fatigue test
capabilities etc., as a part of the long-term planning.
Provides fixture design & fabrication coordination, develops capital
expense requisitions for new equipment.
Provides for competitive suspension benchmark testing.
Other duties as assigned.
Education and Training
BSME/BSAgE/BS AeroE required.
MSME preferred.
Minimum Qualifications
10 years of experience working in an R & D environment.
Experienced in testbed or vehicle test - analysis modeling (preferably
heavy or medium duty truck) with experience in dynamic nvh analysis,
finite element structural analysis, fatigue analysis, and vehicle
handling analysis.
Experienced in Ride and Handli g experimental development, EMA and
forced response analysis.
Experienced in Servo Hydraulic test equipment and testing, RPC based
structural fatigue testing.
Experienced in Data Acquisition and Reduction including data recording,
conditioning.
CDL Required.
Broad general commercial vehicle mechanical experience required.
Design test fixtures and test procedures.
Advanced technician quality mechanical and electrical skills (including
strain gaging) required.
Project management experience required.
Physical Demands
Frequent sitting and working at computer for extended periods of time.
Occasional standing and walking on concrete.
Occasional climbing stairs and fixed/vertical ladders.
Ability to lift and carry up to 60lbs.
