Electrical Test & Validation Engineer

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Define and execute electrical validation plans for power distribution, battery packs and battery management systems (BMS), custom circuit boards, motor drives, sensors, harnesses, and connectors.
• Conduct ESD and EMC pre-compliance testing and coordinate with external labs on FCC, CE, and UL compliance and certification activities.
• Validate battery safety and performance and support testing and certification to applicable standards, including IEC 62133 and UN 38.3.
• Develop automated firmware regression tests for communications (CAN, EtherCAT, and Ethernet), control loops, safety functions, and over-the-air (OTA) updates.
• Perform fault-injection testing to verify error handling and safe-state behavior.
• Lead board- and system-level electrical failure analysis, partnering with electrical and firmware engineers to identify root causes and verify corrective actions.
• Write clear test procedures and maintain accurate test data, reports, and findings.

Job requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent hands-on experience.
• 4+ years of hands-on experience in electrical validation or embedded systems testing for robotics, automotive, or consumer electronics.
• Strong bench skills, including the use of oscilloscopes, current probes, power analyzers, electronic loads, thermal cameras, and soldering equipment.
• Ability to read schematics and diagnose board-level failures.
• Experience testing power electronics, battery systems, or motor drives.
• Proficiency in Python for test automation and comfort working in Linux.
• Familiarity with embedded systems and communication interfaces, including CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, and Ethernet.
• Experience with EtherCAT or real-time motor control systems.
