About the role

Senior Propulsion System Engineering Test Planner at Hyundai Motor Company. Planning and coordinating validation testing for electrified propulsion system development and CAE modeling.

Responsibilities

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.
Define and coordinate virtual simulation and design activities for body/NVH/chassis at each build phase.
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.
Work closely with vehicle program managers to align test timing with overall program schedules.
Align simulation results with physical test requirements to optimize resource usage and reduce rework.
Track progress against program deliverables and escalate risks to leadership when necessary.
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.
Identify and resolve technical and logistical roadblocks to ensure testing completion.
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
