Retrieve and extract Event Data Recorder (EDR / "black box") information from impacted vehicles.
Perform mathematical analyses and computer simulations to reconstruct dynamic collision events.
Manage forensic case files end-to-end, taking projects from initial intake through final report delivery.
Candidate Qualifications:
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (BSME / MSME).
Active Professional Engineer (PE) credential preferred .
Minimum of 3–5 years in specialized mechanical engineering disciplines.
Solid grasp of core vehicle architecture, including powertrains, structural chassis design, thermal behavior, and vehicle dynamics.
