• General knowledge of engineering mechanics, physics, hydraulics, electronics and computer software.
• A basic understanding of the operational theory and principles of operation of automatic transaxle/transmissions is required.
• Familiarity with common instrumentation testing equipment and data acquisition and control systems required.
• Familiarity with common electronic testing instrumentation (oscilloscope, frequency generator, multimeter) and data acquisition systems.
• Experience programming real-time applications such as PLC and LabVIEW.
• Experience with electronics and automation.
• High level of analytical ability required, where problems are unusual and difficult.
• Must be able to prioritize assigned tasks, and accurately estimate the time and costs required for project completion.
• The ability to read and interpret manufacturing documents such as safety rules, operating and maintenance instructions, machine drawings, wiring/electrical schematics, and repair manuals is required.
• The Test Engineer must have the ability to write detailed reports with supporting documentation and data.
