Testing Manager

• Lead and manage a team of test engineers technicians and analysts responsible for validating steering systems (hardware software and mechatronic components).
• Develop and implement comprehensive test strategies test plans and validation protocols for steering systems across development phases (Components bench HIL durability and on-road testing).
• Oversee execution of tests to ensure compliance with functional safety standards (e.g. ISO 26262 for ASIL-rated systems) regulatory requirements (GB ECE) and internal quality benchmarks.
• Coordinate with cross-functional teams: design/release engineers software developers vehicle tests suppliers and program management to define test requirements resolve issues and support root cause analysis (e.g. using FMEA Problem solving data logging).
• Ensure traceability of requirements to test cases/coverage and oversee documentation for audits and homologation.

• Oversee the day-to-day operations and maintenance of steering system test facilities including bench test rigs durability test stands NVH acoustic chambers environmental chambers to ensure maximum uptime reliability and repeatability of test results.
• Manage test facility assets and infrastructure: develop and execute preventive maintenance schedules coordinate equipment calibrations upgrades and repairs (e.g. actuators load simulators data acquisition systems environmental controls) and troubleshoot facility-related issues to minimize downtime and support program timelines.
• Lead lab safety housekeeping and compliance programs: enforce lab safety protocols corporate EHS standards and regulatory requirements for test operations.
• Manage lab inventory procurement and budgeting: oversee ordering and stocking of consumables spare parts sensors and test-specific components track and control lab operating budgets including capital requests for new test equipment or facility expansions.

• Other relevant tasks assigned by superiors for achieving companys objectives.

Qualifications :

• Education

Bachelor or above degree in Mechanical Engineering Automotive Engineering Electrical Engineering Mechatronics or related fields.

• Experience

8 years in automotive engineering with 4 years specifically in steering/chassis systems testing or validation; prior people management experience required.

• Technical Knowledge

• Deep understanding of steering systems (EPS hydraulic power steering electronic-hydraulic power steering).
• Experience of testing methods: Performance tests Road load test reliability tests shock/vibration tests environment tests (temperature chamber IPx..) field data analysis
• Problem solving capability and material knowledge of metal plastics aging behavior.
• Familiarity with steering system test bench and tools like CANalyzer/CANoe dSPACE MATLAB/Simulink Vector tools data acquisition systems and fault simulation.
• Knowledge of regulation and commercial vehicle steering system safety quality and reliability standards e.g ISO26262 GB17675 QC/T/529 QC/T1081 ECE R79
• Soft Skills

Strong leadership and team management project management abilities excellent communication (technical reporting and stakeholder interaction) problem-solving under pressure

• Other

• Willingness to travel to external testing supplier visit
• Utilize new testing method/tools via connected data to improve testing efficiency.
• Experience with electrified/autonomous vehicles is often preferred.
• This role is safety-critical as steering directly impacts vehicle control and occupant safety so emphasis is placed on rigorous validation compliance and defect prevention
