HATCI is currently seeking a Systems Engineering Test Planner to join our Electrified Propulsion Development organization. This role is responsible for planning, coordinating, and tracking all validation testing activities required for electrified propulsion system development in support of production vehicle programs. The Test Planner serves as the central point of contact between propulsion system engineers, vehicle program managers, and test resource teams to ensure timely and efficient execution of validation plans. The role encompasses both virtual simulation and physical testing to deliver robust, system-level validation of electrified propulsion technologies. This position reports to the Senior Manager of Electrified Propulsion System Development.

Systems Engineering & Validation Planning
Develop and manage the Electrified Propulsion Validation Plan, integrating requirements across subsystems (ICE, battery, e-motor, inverter, charging, thermal management, controls).
Ensure validation scope balances performance, cost, timing, and technical targets.
Plan validation activities across virtual simulation environments and physical test phases, ensuring consistency and traceability.
Virtual & Physical Simulation Planning
Define and coordinate virtual simulation and physical testing activities at each build phase.
Align simulation results with physical test requirements to optimize resource usage and reduce rework.
Ensure early-phase validation through simulation to reduce risk in later physical builds.
Integrate simulation outcomes into the overall validation plan and communicate findings to engineering teams.
Program Integration
Work closely with vehicle program managers to align test timing with overall program schedules.
Track progress against program deliverables and escalate risks to leadership when necessary.
Ensure validation activities support system-level development milestones.
Resource Management
Define, optimize and manage the build of test vehicles
Utilize planning tools (e.g., Microsoft Project) to manage resource loading and optimize test engineer assignments.
Balance competing demands across multiple programs, test facilities, and simulation environments.
Issue Resolution & Risk Mitigation
Identify and resolve technical and logistical roadblocks to ensure testing completion.
Partner with engineers and program managers to assess risks, propose mitigation strategies, and adjust schedules as needed.
Progress Tracking & Reporting
Lead collection and synthesis of validation progress data across propulsion subsystems.
Provide regular status updates to Sr. Leadership on a weekly basis.
Prepare clear, concise reports on test progress, resource utilization, and risk assessments.

B.S. in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or other related engineering field from an accredited university.
Minimum of 5 years of experience in automotive testing, validation, or program planning
Familiarity with propulsion systems (ICE, hybrid, EV) and vehicle development processes
Proficiency in project planning tools (Microsoft Project, or equivalent)
Strong organizational, communication, and stakeholder management skills
Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment

Background in electrified propulsion system development and testing (ICE, battery, e-motor, inverter, charging systems, thermal management, controls)
Experience coordinating virtual simulation and physical test activities across multiple facilities (dyno labs, vehicle test tracks, simulation environments)
Knowledge of automotive product development cycles and validation requirements
Demonstrated ability to anticipate risks and proactively develop mitigation plans
Strong interpersonal skills to work across engineering, program management, and executive leadership
Program/Project management expertise
