- Create and maintain automated test scripts to enhance testing efficiency and accuracy.
- Develop test strategies, plans, and procedures across systems, from electrical to mechanical systems.
- Collaborate with engineering teams to ensure design integrity and improvements.
- Analyze complex test data, report findings, and drive system enhancements.
- Identify, diagnose, and resolve intricate technical issues during testing.
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to team skill enhancement.
- Drive innovation in testing methodologies and practices.
- Interface tightly with design, simulation and manufacturing engineering partners to inform design decisions.
- Drive and participate in a culture of rapid prototyping and testing.
- A great team spirit and get-it-done attitude. No job is too big or too small.
What You'll Bring (Qualifications):
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related field.
- In-depth knowledge of battery management systems (BMS) architecture and implementation
- Experience interfacing with microcontrollers and writing scripts for functional testing.
- Ability to architect, procure, assemble, and operate electromechanical automated test setups.
- Proficiency in Python or similar
- Passion for renewable energy, sustainability, and driving positive environmental impact through technology innovation.
- Eligibility to work in the U.S.
Preferred Qualifications:
- High voltage battery and power electronics experience.
- Utility-scale energy storage systems experience.
- Experience developing hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test systems
- 3+ years of experience in testing high voltage systems, preferably in power electronics or batteries.
