• 2+ years of related experience in Electrical Test Engineering or a related field.
• Proficient with Data Acquisition Systems (National Instruments preferred).
• Understand PID control theory and state machines.
• Proficient in PLC programming, LabVIEW, Python, C/C++ or equivalent.
• Hands-on experience with electrical measurement tools (DMM, oscilloscope, power meters, etc.).

Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain automated electrical test systems for product development, verification, validation, and production testing.
• Design and build test fixtures, electrical interfaces, breakout boxes, and test harnesses.
• Develop and maintain test software using LabVIEW.
• Integrate NI DAQ hardware, instrumentation, PLCs, and other test equipment into automated test systems.
• Develop tools for data analysis, visualization, and automated reporting.
• Develop and execute test plans and procedures to verify electrical, controls, and system-level product requirements.
• Perform functional, performance, fault, stress, and certification testing of energy storage systems, inverters, power electronics, control systems, and associated electrical equipment.
• Test and characterize closed-loop control systems, including PID-controlled systems, grid-interactive controls, and power management functions.
• Analyze test data, identify trends and anomalies, and report findings to the design team.
• Troubleshoot electrical, controls, firmware, and communication issues using oscilloscopes, DMMs, power analyzers, DAQ systems, and other laboratory equipment.
• Perform root-cause analysis of test failures and work with design and firmware engineers to identify and implement corrective actions.
• Maintain test equipment, calibration records, test fixtures, and laboratory documentation.
• Configure and operate laboratory equipment including programmable power supplies, electronic loads/load banks, grid simulators, oscilloscopes, power analyzers, and data acquisition systems.
• Collaborate with electrical, firmware, software, mechanical, and systems engineers to define test requirements and improve product testability.
• Provide test data and technical feedback to engineering teams throughout the product development lifecycle.
• Document test configurations, procedures, results, failures, and corrective actions in clear engineering reports.
