Test Engineer - Product Development - Hiring in process/Finished, not possible to apply

At Thule Group we develop world-class products designed to encourage and simplify an active lifestyle for you and your family.
At the Thule Test Center™, products go through extreme testing before they can bear the Thule logo. That means exposing them to desert heat and arctic cold, water resistance, drop tests and durability to tensile, shock and crash tests as well as usability.
We take our prototypes and test them in the real world, and try out the functions that will make the equipment safer, easier and more fun to use.
Are you our next Test Engineer? Welcome with your application!

Thule Group continues to grow and we are in the most ambitious period in the company’s history, in terms of product development investments in our traditional categories, Sports & Cargo as well as in our newer categories such as Active With Kids.
To enable this expansion along with newly and top modern investments in our testing facility, we are now strengthening our Engineering team with a Test Engineer.

One of your main tasks as a Test engineer is to make sure we continue to deliver products to the market that are robust, safe, ergonomic and in line with the highest standards and demands from a local legislation perspective.
Moreover, since not every demand is found in standard you will also need to bring attention on usability and customer usages scenarios during the development phase.

Since we have a wide range of products with different technical and usability challenges you will either work with tests related to; -mechanical, -electronic, -mechatronic, -software, -textile or a combination of them – it depends on your experience and skillset.

In your daily work you will balance your tasks by performing practical tests (static, dynamic), environmental, performance etc. of components and complete products with more theoretical tasks like; guide and give input to other functions within R&D during complete product development cycle, analyze and present results, reading standards and writing reports.
