Role

We are seeking a Engineering Technician - Battery Test to support the execution of lithium-ion battery testing across the cell, module, and high-voltage (HV) pack levels. This role is highly hands-on and focused on building, operating, maintaining, and troubleshooting battery test systems while working closely with test engineers and cross-functional engineering teams.

This is a role for you if you enjoy working in a laboratory environment, have strong mechanical and electrical aptitude, and take pride in building reliable test setups and producing high-quality test data. Previous experience with lithium-ion battery testing is preferred, while high-voltage battery experience is a plus but not required.

Responsibilities

Battery Test Execution

Build, install, and operate battery test setups under the guidance of test engineers.

Prepare and test lithium-ion cells, modules, and high-voltage battery packs.

Safely install and connect battery hardware, instrumentation, and support equipment.

Execute battery tests including: Performance characterization, Cycle life and aging, Rate capability, Power and resistance testing, Environmental and thermal testing, Validation and durability testing

Monitor active tests and respond appropriately to alarms, faults, or abnormal test behavior.

Maintain detailed test logs and document observations throughout testing.

Test Equipment & Lab Support

Configure and operate battery cyclers (Maccor, AVL, Neware, or similar systems).

Assemble test fixtures, wiring harnesses, instrumentation, and support hardware.

Install thermocouples, voltage taps, current sensors, pressure sensors, and other instrumentation.

Operate environmental chambers and supporting laboratory equipment.

Perform routine calibration, maintenance, and troubleshooting of laboratory equipment.

Help maintain an organized, safe, and efficient battery laboratory.

High Voltage & Lab Safety

Follow laboratory safety procedures for battery testing, including HV safety practices where applicable.

Verify proper test setup before energizing battery systems.

Perform pre-test inspections and equipment checks.

Support continuous improvement of laboratory safety procedures and best practices.

Data Collection & Documentation

Verify accurate data acquisition from battery cyclers, DAQ systems, and instrumentation.

Organize and archive test data.

Assist engineers with basic data review and reporting.

Record hardware configurations, serial numbers, and test conditions.

Help develop and improve laboratory work instructions and test procedures.

Troubleshooting

Diagnose electrical, mechanical, and instrumentation issues with test setups.

Replace damaged cables, connectors, sensors, and fixtures as needed.

Assist engineers with failure investigations and root cause analysis.

Help improve test reliability, repeatability, and laboratory efficiency.

Cross-Functional Support

Work closely with battery test, systems, electrical, mechanical, manufacturing, and BMS engineering teams.

Support prototype builds and engineering development activities.

Assist with assembly, disassembly, inspection, and teardown of cells, modules, and battery packs before and after testing.

Qualifications

Associate's degree, technical certification, military technical experience, or equivalent hands-on experience in electrical, mechanical, automotive, or related fields.
