Senior Manufacturing Test Engineer

Location: Weirton, WV | Pay: $35/hr

Responsibilities

• Develop and deploy manufacturing test equipment, software, and data systems supporting the production of our breakthrough energy storage technology.
• Work closely with Product Development, R&D, Manufacturing, Quality, MES, and Operations teams to create robust test solutions for new products, process changes, and factory expansion initiatives.
• Equally comfortable developing software, integrating instrumentation, troubleshooting hardware, and working directly on the factory floor to deploy new manufacturing capabilities.
• Design and maintain scalable test software, intuitive GUIs, and operator workflows for cell, module, and pack-level manufacturing.
• Develop, deploy, and validate production test equipment, fixtures, PLCs, and instrumentation architectures for new product introductions.
• Link test software and hardware seamlessly with MES, databases, factory automation platforms, and traceability systems.
• Partner with EHS to design safe test systems utilizing interlocks, barriers, and lockout/tagout procedures for high-voltage environments.
• Work with R&D, Manufacturing, Quality, and Operations to define test requirements, support factory expansions, and co‑own PFMEAs and control plans.
• Implement automated data collection, validation, and reporting while maintaining strict revision control for software and deployment packages.
• Lead root‑cause investigations and resolve complex hardware, software, and process failures during commissioning and production ramps.
• Create technical documentation—including test procedures, work instructions, troubleshooting guides—and support operator training.

Qualifications

• 5+ years of experience developing automated test systems in manufacturing, product development, or industrial environments.
• Experience and expertise with at least one programming language such as LabVIEW, Python, C#, C++, Go, or similar.
• Experience establishing test architectures, software frameworks, processes, and standards that enable long‑term growth and operational scalability.
• Experience integrating instrumentation, data acquisition hardware, and automated test equipment.
• Experience with industrial and embedded communication protocols such as CAN, Modbus, Ethernet‑based protocols, UART, SPI, I2C, Protobuf, or similar technologies.
• Familiarity with electrical test methodologies and troubleshooting techniques.
• Demonstrated ownership of complete test systems from concept through deployment.
• Experience leading technical projects and mentoring junior engineers.
• Experience integrating manufacturing test systems with MES, databases, or enterprise software systems.
• BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• Experience developing and scaling manufacturing test systems from prototype, pilot, or low‑volume production environments into high‑volume manufacturing.
• Experience supporting new factory launches, production ramp activities, or capacity expansion initiatives.
• Experience working with embedded systems, microcontrollers, embedded Linux platforms, or battery management systems.
• Familiarity with firmware validation, hardware‑software integration, and communication protocol troubleshooting.
