The Senior Test Engineer will be responsible for the ownership, maintenance, and development of Automated Test Systems (ATEs) used for testing Battery Management Systems (BMS) and related products for industrial, medical, automotive, and defense applications. This role focuses on maintaining and extending a custom LabVIEW-based ATE platform integrated with Microsoft SQL and the EV Manufacturing System, ensuring reliable production testing, traceability, and reporting. The role requires the ability to quickly understand and take ownership of existing ATE system architecture and extend it for new applications. The position also supports the development of a next-generation Engineering Qualification Tester by expanding the current platform to accommodate higher power systems, additional instrumentation, and enhanced reporting capabilities. The role interfaces with Product Design, Quality, Operations, Production, and external contractors, and includes mentorship responsibilities to develop internal test engineering capability.
