We are supporting a major high-end vehicle manufacturer in enhancing their brake system refinement capability. This role focuses on leading the development, validation, and tuning of brake systems across prototype and production vehicles to deliver exceptional performance, feel, and NVH characteristics. Key Responsibilities Lead the refinement and validation of brake systems across prototype and production vehicle programs. Plan and execute vehicle-level brake tests including pedal feel evaluation, brake bedding and burnishing, stopping distance and fade testing, NVH (Noise, Vibration, Harshness) assessments, and AMS/regulatory performance tests. Collaborate with suppliers on palliative development of brake components such as pads, shims, discs, and calipers. Configure and install data acquisition systems (CAN, sensors, loggers) for test instrumentation. Process and interpret test data to identify performance trends, root causes, and improvement opportunities. Author detailed test reports, DVPs, and technical documentation to support engineering sign-off. Coordinate with cross-functional teams (chassis, controls, software, suppliers) to align on development targets. Support international test trips, including logistics planning, load list preparation, and on-site execution. Drive continuous improvement through data-led decision-making and iterative development cycles. Must-Have Skills Proven experience in brake system engineering covering hydraulic, regenerative, or blended braking. Hands-on experience with vehicle testing and validation on track, proving grounds, or in climatic conditions. Experience in palliative development, tuning brake components for refinement. Proficiency in data acquisition and analysis using CAN tools (Vector CANalyzer), MoTeC, Pi Toolbox, MATLAB (preferred). Skilled in instrumentation setup, including sensor calibration and logger configuration. Proficient with software tools such as CATIA V5/V6, TeamCenter, Excel, and PowerPoint. Experienced in producing documentation including DVP&R, test reports, and build books. Good to Have Bachelors or Masters degree in Mechanical or Automotive Engineering. Experience with EV braking systems and brake-by-wire technologies. Familiarity with global brake performance standards such as FMVSS, ECE R13H, AMS. If you have a strong background in brake system refinement and want to contribute to the development of next-generation premium vehicles, feel free to reach out for a confidential discussion.
