Dyno & test technician / engineer
Running the engine, gearbox and rigs to destruction in a cell so nothing breaks on a Sunday.
Adverts for this work usually name: LabVIEW, MATLAB / Simulink.
Who comes into this from somewhere else
Ranked by how much of the job carries over. Our judgement, not a measurement, and it is here to tell you where to start looking.
From Automotive (volume)
Rigging, running and instrumenting an engine in a cell. The same job, with a shorter life expectancy for the engine.
Nothing standing in the wayFrom Aerospace & defence
Rig design, instrumentation and test-to-failure discipline transfer directly.
Nothing standing in the wayFrom Energy & renewables
Instrumented testing of rotating machinery is the shared ground. Cell automation and the vehicle model are the delta.
What you would need to add
Test-rig and dyno automation: wiring sensors to a control loop and logging the result. What a test cell runs on.
Modelling and simulation for vehicle dynamics, control systems and race strategy.
