Goodyear is seeking a Development Engineer - Performance Test Driver to join our San Angelo Proving Grounds team. In this role, you'll support on-vehicle testing for tire development programs designed by Goodyear's North American Innovation Center.

You'll safely execute test maneuvers that help advance Goodyear's future tire technologies.
We're looking for someone with a passion for driving, technical curiosity, attention to detail, and a willingness to learn alongside a global team of experienced test drivers.
**Why This Role Matters**
+ Generates critical feedback on tire performance by spending much of the time behind the wheel of passenger car and/or light truck platforms.
+ Safely executes subjective and objective test maneuvers to expand and lead Goodyear’s future tire technology development.
