Testing & Validation

Design and execute complex test plans for product validation, certification, R&D; investigations, and lifecycle testing.

Build and oversee advanced test setups involving high‑voltage DC and AC systems (up to 1000 VDC, 600 VAC).

Operate battery cyclers to conduct testing on cells, modules, racks, and full BESS units.

Develop custom test fixtures and experimental setups to evaluate new concepts and investigate failure modes.

Support certification and compliance testing, including pre‑compliance testing and coordination with certified test labs.

Data Analysis & Reporting





Develop automated test scripts and tools to streamline testing and data collection.

Analyze large test datasets using Python or similar tools to identify performance trends, reliability issues, and failure mechanisms.

Produce clear reports and presentations summarizing results and engineering recommendations.

Work with cross‑functional teams to translate test results into actionable design improvements.

The Candidate

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related engineering discipline.

6+ years of experience in hardware testing, validation, or verification roles.

Strong experience designing and executing complex engineering test plans and validation programs.

Demonstrated experience working safely with high‑voltage DC and AC systems.

Deep experience building electro‑mechanical test setups, wiring instrumentation, and configuring test equipment.

Experience with data acquisition systems (DAQ), instrumentation, and test automation.

Strong data analysis capabilities using tools such as Python, MATLAB, or similar environments.

Proven ability to lead technical initiatives and mentor engineers in a collaborative setting.

Excellent problem‑solving skills and ability to investigate complex system failures.

Previous experience in a high‑growth fast‑paced environment is highly desired.

Nice‑to‑Have Experience

Experience testing lithium‑ion battery systems, battery modules, or battery energy storage systems.

Familiarity with battery cyclers and battery management systems (BMS).





Knowledge of battery and energy storage safety standards such as UL1973, UL9540, and related compliance frameworks.

Experience with industrial communication protocols such as CAN, Modbus, or SCPI.

Experience testing power electronics, inverters, and grid‑connected energy systems.
