  • Develop and implement strategies to improve test rig capability, automation, and robustness.
  • Enhance and automate test processes using dedicated tools (Python, Matlab/Simulink, LabView, CANoe/CANape).
  • Diagnose rig issues (mechanical, electrical, instrumentation, controls) and implement corrective actions.
  • Analyse raw measurement data, consolidate results, and prepare clear and meaningful test reports.
  • Collaborate closely with mechanical, controls, and software teams to resolve system-level issues and support design validation.
  • Contribute to continuous improvement of testing standards, safety procedures, and rig development roadmaps.
