The Automotive Interiors Climate Validation Engineer (Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning) is ensuring that a vehicle's climate control system meets performance, safety, and regulatory standards before it reaches production. They act as a bridge between design team (electronics and cab), performance team and manufacturing, in verification of requirements regarding customer user cases on vehicle level, testing components, calibration of software and performances for the complete system under real-world and simulated conditions to validate the function on the vehicle as intended. Benchmarking Heavy Commercial trucks to get an expertise knowledge for customer user cases and designs, to be robust in state-of-the-Art Truck Design. Validation of ergonomics and intuitive application for Interiors Climate system. Responsibilities and accountabilities: • Test Planning: Defining test procedures and test cases, creating validation plans based on internal specifications and project milestones, conforming to industry standards. Performance Testing: Measuring airflow,



temperature control (heating/cooling), and humidity regulation inside the truck cab. This includes, e.g. assessing defog/defrost performance verification and calibration, as well as validation of climate comfort for customer user cases. Testing environments are: HVAC systems in climate-controlled test chambers (wind tunnels) that simulate extreme environments (e.g. hot and cold) and all weather conditions, as well as conducting vehicle test on road under real environmental conditions (e.g. day, night, four seasons, parking, driving,...) • Data Analysis & Troubleshooting: Analyzing test data to verify the requirements and identify failures, conducting root cause analysis, and collaborating with design teams to resolve issues. Provision of test data for correlation with simulation models. • Instrumentation: Set-up and maintenance of measurement equipment, which is required for data acquisition during tests. • D
