Résumé du poste

World Aquatics seeks a Senior Power Test Engineer to design and build test infrastructure for batteries and power electronics for flight. You will own benches, automate tests, and run qualification campaigns in a fast-paced, aerospace‑oriented environment.

This role requires MSc in electrical engineering with 5+ years hands‑on testing, experience with cyclers, loads, analyzers, and high‑voltage safety, plus Python scripting and strong analytical skills. Space industry experience is a plus.

Qualifications

• Professional engineering education (MSc or equivalent) in electrical engineering / electronics, with 5+ years of hands‑on test engineering experience.
• Experience testing batteries or power electronics: cyclers, electronic loads, power supplies, power analyzers, thermal chambers.
• Test automation and scripting skills (Python or similar): instrument control, data acquisition, data analysis.
• Solid electronics fundamentals: measurement techniques, sensing, wiring, grounding, and safe practices around high currents and voltages.
• Autonomy in the lab: oscilloscopes, differential/isolated probes, power analyzers, electronic loads.
• Strong analytical skills, proactive attitude, excellent interpersonal skills and unbounded curiosity.
• You enjoy owning your scope end‑to‑end.
• Professional level English — further languages welcome.

Responsabilités

• Design and build the test benches for battery cells, packs, BMS subsystems and power converters: fixtures, instrumentation, power and safety infrastructure.
• Automate the test benches: test sequencing, instrument control, data acquisition, and data processing pipelines.
• Implement mission‑representative test scenarios on the benches: orbital charge/discharge profiles, eclipse cycling, and thermal environments, based on use cases provided by the design team — no prior space background needed.
• Define and run qualification campaigns to get our hardware ready for flight: environmental testing (thermal, thermal‑vacuum, vibration) and functional verification toward flight acceptance.
• Operate and develop the in‑house cell testing laboratory: cyclers, thermal chambers, safety infrastructure, lab processes, and interaction with equipment suppliers.
