Senior Electrical Hardware Test Engineer, Energy Storage

Job description

Job responsibilities

• Design, set up, and execute validation tests on high-voltage power electronics components and assemblies
• Read and work directly from schematics, Altium layouts, and datasheets to understand circuit behavior and inform test design
• Debug and diagnose hardware hands-on — probe circuits, isolate faults, and drive root cause investigations to the component level
• Design, fabricate, and source custom PCBAs to support component-level characterization and test needs
• Specify and build supporting test infrastructure spanning electrical, mechanical, and software domains, with an emphasis on electrical scope
• Develop and maintain test automation and data analysis tools using Python
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (design, reliability, and abuse engineers) to generate FMEAs and test plans; analyze complex test data and drive design and process enhancements

Job requirements

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field
• 5+ years of technical experience in test engineering, hardware validation, or power electronics development
• Hands-on experience with high-voltage systems (400–2000VDC and 480–800VAC)
• Proficiency with Altium or similar EDA tools; fluency reading schematics, layouts, and component datasheets
• Comfort at the bench with oscilloscopes, probes, and general lab instrumentation
• Working knowledge of power conversion — switching topologies, gate drive, isolation, protection, and thermals
• Demonstrated experience with root cause and failure analysis — tracing a failure to a component or mechanism, not just documenting the symptom
• Proficiency in object-oriented programming, Python preferred
