Engineering role focused on validation of electrical systems for energy storage manufacturing.
Обязанности
- Identify the system-level tests, test assets, and operating conditions needed to retire the highest-risk electrical, software, and control system unknowns.
- Architect comprehensive test plans and procedures that validate Power Conversion Systems (DC/DC, inverter) and Network Systems (plant-level communications) behaviors across electrical, software, and control layers.
- Act as the primary technical bridge between design teams (electrical hardware, software, controls), test engineering, and product management to translate high-level requirements into executable validation strategies.
- Partner closely with Site Operations and Facilities teams to manage the infrastructure footprint, power requirements, safety protocols (hazard reviews, FMEA), and continuous uptime of test assets.
- Lead the day-to-day execution of test campaigns. When anomalies occur, spearhead root-cause analysis (RCA) and triage across electrical hardware, software, controls, and test infrastructure.
- Synthesize complex test data into clear, actionable engineering reports and leadership dashboards to gate product milestones.
- Act as a force multiplier by coaching, mentoring, and leveling up junior engineers and test technicians.
- Champion a culture of safety, cleanliness, 5S, and rigorous documentation within the testing lab environment.
Требования
- 8+ years of experience in systems validation, integration testing, or hardware test engineering (ideally within power electronics, grid storage, renewables, electric vehicles, or aerospace).
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems, Controls, Systems Engineering, or a related technical discipline.
- Deep familiarity with power conversion hardware (DC/DC converters, inverters, rectifiers), high-voltage power distribution, protection, and control architectures.
- Experience with high-power industrial systems, grid-tied equipment, or power electronics at utility or industrial scale.
- Proficiency with test automation frameworks (e.g., Python, LabVIEW, MATLAB/Simulink) and data analysis pipelines for high-rate electrical data.
- Familiarity with network protocols standard to industrial, grid, and automotive systems (CAN, Modbus, Ethernet, EtherCAT, DNP3, IEC 61850).
- Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, evolving hardware startup environment; able to carve out a path forward when requirements are fluid.
- Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to work cross-functionally and present test findings to design, controls, and leadership audiences in a fast-paced environment.
