Test Bench Technician Electric Motors (m/f/x)

Garching bei München, Germany
Full-time
Permanent employee
50,000 - 65,000 € per year

About the Job

As part of our Validation and Testing team, you make sure that our electric motors can be tested safely and reliably on our test benches. You will support our test units throughout the entire process, from setup and test execution to data evaluation and final disassembly.

Your main focus will be the mechanical setup of our test units as well as the preparation and operation of our test benches. You install motors and fixtures, connect the required measurement equipment, run tests and check the resulting data for plausibility.

Not every test goes according to plan. If a test unit or test bench shows unexpected behavior, you work with the team to identify the root cause and determine whether the issue comes from the test unit, the test bench or the surrounding infrastructure. At the same time, you use your experience to continuously improve our equipment and processes.

You will work closely with colleagues from Validation, Infrastructure, System Engineering, Project Management and Production.

This position is fully on site at our location in Garching near Munich.
