Scope of work
- Ensuring that cars are completely watertight and protected against dust and gas intrusion.
- Detecting leakages inside vehicle compartments, protecting the vehicle from water leakages that can damage the electronic bays, cabins and trunks.
- Tightness (gas, dust, water)
- Assessment of tightness especially with regard to the areas BIW, D&C and Trunk
- Complete vehicle testing.
Test Planning & Execution
- Design and develop test procedures for tightness and leakage validation of automotive components and systems (e.g., engines, fuel systems, HVAC, body, doors and closure, etc.).
- Conduct laboratory and on-vehicle tests using specialized equipment such as pressure chambers, leak detectors, and flow measurement devices.
- Ensure compliance with automotive industry standards (e.g., ISO, SAE, or OEM-specific requirements) for tightness and leakage.
- Collaborate with product design, quality assurance, and production teams to define the criteria for leak-proof components and systems.
Data Analysis & Reporting
- Analyze test data to identify failure points or potential leak paths and provide recommendations for improvements.
- Document and report test results, including failure analysis, root cause identification, and corrective action proposals.
- Provide detailed analysis and insights to cross-functional teams to drive design improvements and ensure leakage requirements are met.
Problem Solving & Continuous Improvement
- Identify root causes of leakage issues, collaborate with engineering teams to implement corrective actions, and ensure retesting for validation.
- Continuously improve testing methodologies to increase efficiency and accuracy in detecting leaks.
- Stay updated with the latest technologies and innovations in leakage testing methods and tools.
Collaboration & Communication
- Work closely with internal teams (e.g., R&D, manufacturing, and quality control) and external partners (suppliers, testing labs) to resolve leakage-related issues.
- Participate in technical reviews and present test results to internal stakeholders and management.
- Liaise with external auditors and certification bodies for compliance testing as required.
