Test Engineer - Battery Systems

Role Overview

We are seeking a hands-on Test Engineer to design, develop, and scale production test systems for advanced battery products used in medical, industrial, and high-reliability applications.

This role sits at the intersection of product development and manufacturing, ensuring that every product shipped meets performance, safety, and regulatory requirements. You will play a critical role in New Product Introduction (NPI) and production optimization, building robust test solutions that improve yield, reduce cycle time, and support compliance in regulated environments.

Production Test Development & NPI

· Design and implement automated production test systems for battery modules and electronic assemblies (analog, power, digital)

· Develop test hardware, fixtures, and software to support scalable manufacturing

· Partner with design engineering to ensure Design for Test (DFT) is embedded early in development

· Lead test readiness for new product launches, ensuring smooth transition into production

Sustaining Engineering & Continuous Improvement

· Troubleshoot production test failures and drive root cause analysis and CAPA

· Improve test efficiency by reducing cycle time, false failures, and operator variability

· Maintain and enhance existing test systems to support product changes and reliability improvements

· Support MRB and drive resolution of non-conforming product

Technical Execution

· Debug circuits and systems down to the component level

· Develop and maintain:

o Test plans and procedures

o Test fixture schematics and BOMs

o Test software and automation scripts

o Data collection and traceability systems

· Perform calibration and validation of test systems to NIST standards

Regulatory & Quality Support

· Ensure test systems and processes support compliance with:

o ISO 13485 / 14971

o IEC 60601 (medical electrical systems)

o CE and other applicable standards

· Support internal and external audits, including FDA and customer audits

· Work cross-functionally with Quality, Manufacturing, and Program Management to ensure alignment

Education & Core Experience

· B.S. Electrical Engineering or similar Technical Degree with focus on electronic theory and software/firmware development

· 5+ years developing automated production test systems in electronics or battery-related industries

· Strong experience with hardware + software integration for test

· Proven ability to troubleshoot complex systems in a manufacturing environment

Technical Skills & Industry Experience

· Programming experience in one or more:

o Python, C#, LabVIEW, or VB.NET

· Experience with:

o Gauge R&R, PPAP/PPQ Validations

o 1D and 2D Data Matrix barcodes, labeling and traceability

o Data acquisition and test automation

o Power electronics and embedded systems testing

· Familiarity with:

o Test fixtures, jigs, and instrumentation

o Optical or advanced measurement systems

· Experience in regulated environments (medical devices strongly preferred)

· Familiarity with battery systems, BMS, or energy storage products

· Understanding of ECO/ECN processes and change control

What Makes You Successful in This Role

· You think like an owner—focused on yield, throughput, and product quality

· You are equally comfortable writing code and debugging hardware

· You proactively identify gaps and drive practical, scalable solutions

· You communicate clearly across engineering, manufacturing, and quality teams

Physical & Work Environment

· Hands-on lab and production environment

· Frequent use of electronic test equipment and small tools

· Combination of bench work, computer-based development, and production floor support
