About Moment Energy Independent energy is here. Help us deploy it. Energy should be free. Free from aging grids, fragile supply chains, and unnecessary extraction.

At Moment

Energy, we’re building a world where clean power is abundant, affordable, and uninterrupted for everyone. The world doesn’t need another promise about energy; Moment Energy is the pragmatic liberator of power, the only company certified to turn the largest untapped energy supply into independent energy. While the industry scraps millions of batteries with decades of life left, we put them to work by repurposing large-format batteries into advanced battery energy storage systems that deliver real-world impact.

Today, Moment Energy delivers 5x the energy density and holds the certifications required to deploy energy independence at scale. We are looking for a Lead Test Engineer to build and lead Moment Energy’s testing and validation capabilities. This role is responsible for defining and executing the testing strategy that ensures the safety, reliability, and performance of our battery energy storage systems (BESS).

As a technical leader, you will guide the development of test infrastructure, test methodologies, and validation processes across R&D;, product development, and certification activities. While you will lead the testing function, this role remains highly hands‑on. You will spend significant time in the lab with your team designing experiments, building complex test setups, and analyzing system performance.

You will work closely with the test engineering team, electrical, mechanical, firmware, and manufacturing teams to validate new designs, investigate failures, and support certification testing. Your work will directly influence product reliability, safety, and time-to-market as we scale our energy storage systems. If you enjoy building testing systems from the ground up, solving complex engineering problems, and leading a critical function in a fast-growing clean technology company, this role is for you.
