About the role

  • At CR we know there's more to testing cars than measuring how the rubber meets the road, after all we've been testing and reporting on the subject for over 85-years.
  • We're on the cutting edge of auto technology-buying and testing over 50+ new cars a year--including EV's, plug-in hybrids and of course, gas cars-- driving each car 2,000 break-in miles, even before we take a look under the hood.
  • As a Junior Automotive Engineer at our 327-acre Auto Test Center, you will report to the Director, Auto Test Development.

Responsibilities

  • Auto manufacturers are listening as well, using findings from our data, testing and research to influence the safety, performance, and usability features included in the cars and trucks they build.
  • Support members of the Cars Content team by providing market data, automotive retail trends and insights to be integrated into content.

Requirements

  • You have strong time management skills and can plan and organize your time effectively.
  • You are comfortable presenting and can professionally represent CR, i.e.during podcasting.

Nice to have

  • Bachelor's Degree in Engineering, Physics, Applied Science or equivalent.
  • You have the experience.
  • Up to two years of experience in the automotive industry in a related vehicle-testing capacity or equivalent background.
  • You are a strong communicator.
  • Must possess excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
  • You are proficient in Microsoft Office (including mastery of Excel spreadsheets and PowerPoint) and Google Docs.
  • Data analysis and presentation skills are a plus.
  • You must be able to spend time outdoors during testing and/or driving.

Compensation

  • You'll work closely with our Auto Testers, Data Intelligence, Content, Video, and Communications department to test, capture and record digital vehicle-related content that contributes to how we evaluate over 50 vehicles per year.
