TL;DR · Senior Battery Test Engineer

The Senior Battery Test Engineer joins the team to accelerate battery development timelines by identifying risks at the cell, module, and pack levels. The role involves designing tools and protocols for efficient documentation, writing modular data processing scripts, and developing test procedures for model-in-loop, software-in-loop, and hardware-in-loop levels. Key responsibilities include validating battery management system algorithms for state-of-charge estimation, cell balancing, and fault handling, while collaborating to characterize battery cell equivalent circuit models. Candidates must demonstrate proficiency in Python or Matlab to process large data files into metrics and plots. The position requires expertise in hardware automation, software-hardware communication, and battery characterization methods, including cycle life assessment and safety features, to solve complex power storage challenges within defense technology systems.

What you'll do

  • Execute development testing to burn down risks at the cell, module, and pack levels.
  • Design robust test procedures for MIL, SIL, and HIL levels based on BMS requirements.
  • Validate battery management system algorithms including state estimation, fault handling, and power limits.
  • Write modular data processing scripts to generate plots and outputs for system-level decisions.
  • Design tools and protocols to efficiently document test procedures and results.
  • Characterize battery cell equivalent circuit models and deploy them to HILs or simulations.
  • Support battery programs by establishing common test procedures and approaches across the company.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s Degree in a related Engineering discipline, ideally with an emphasis in battery development.
  • 7+ years of professional experience in a related engineering field.
  • Experience in an immersive interdisciplinary technical project in a collegiate or professional setting.
  • Demonstrated validation of battery cells and modules/packs against system requirements.
  • Experience in hardware automation and software-hardware communication/integration.
  • Demonstrated proficiency in using Python or Matlab to process large data files into plots, summaries, and metrics.
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
  • Graduate Degree in Electrical Engineering, Software Engineering, or Computer Science with an applied focus on battery management systems (preferred).
