OVERVIEW: Mid-level Test & Development Engineer II to work individually and with a small team of design engineers, test engineers, and test technicians to lead as well as support engineering related projects. This position requires applying engineering knowledge to solve real world engineering design, testing, analysis, and development problems on a wide variety of products in the automotive, defense, motorsports, aerospace, marine, and smaller niche industries. These efforts can be applied to short or long-term projects including virtual prototype development, component, system, and full vehicle testing, laboratory testing, engineering analysis, control systems, electronics, and product/system validation. This position also requires developing the technical skills of less senior test engineers and technicians.

　　ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS & SKILLS:
