Test Engineer - Failure Analysis & Lab Validation

The Test Engineer - Failure Analysis & Lab Validation plays a key role in supporting product development through hands‐on laboratory testing, dimensional inspection, and failure analysis of alloy and composite bicycle products. This role sits within the Test Laboratory and works closely with R&D and Quality teams to validate new product designs, investigate failures, and ensure testing data is accurate, well‐documented, and actionable. This position is best suited for early‐career engineers who are eager to build strong technical depth through practical lab work in a product development environment.
How You Will Make a Difference
• Perform First Article Inspections (FAI), including dimensional measurement, geometry checks, and cosmetic inspections against engineering drawings.
• Execute mechanical testing (static and dynamic) of bicycle components and assemblies in a controlled lab environment.
• Set up and tear down assembly, operate test equipment, ensuring safe and accurate test execution.
• In charge of failure analysis activities, including sample preparation, cross‐sectioning, polishing, burn‐off, ply‐by‐ply inspection, hardness, thickness, and roughness checks.
• Document test results, failure observations, and analysis findings clearly and consistently.
• Communicate inspection and test outcomes with R&D and Quality team members in Vietnam and globally.
• Support coordination of test priorities and schedules in collaboration with internal stakeholders.
• Maintain good laboratory discipline, including sample organization, equipment care, and calibration awareness.
