  • Work with suppliers to develop and iterate prototypes based on testing feedback.
  • Plan and execute Design Verification Plans (DVP&R) to validate lighting components against specifications.
  • Support vehicle-level validation (e.g., on-road testing, assembly plant evaluations).

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related field.
  • Ability to work in a team and communicate effectively (written and verbal).

Nice to have

  • Hands-on experience with prototyping, testing, or validation in a manufacturing environment.
  • Knowledge of emerging lighting technologies (e.g., adaptive lighting, laser, matrix LED).
