Test Engineer

Full-Time · On-Site

THE ROLE

We know what we're building. Getting it from design through validation and into production is where it gets hard, and that's where you come in.

You'll write test plans, not just run them. Build fixtures when nothing off-the-shelf fits. Come back from the data with conclusions, not just charts. The work spans early characterization all the way through production validation. You need to be comfortable at both ends and useful in the middle.

We're not looking for someone who needs the problem fully defined before they start. You'll have a team of test engineers and technicians alongside you, and the engineering calls are yours to make.

If you've spent real time in a lab and a machine shop, read on.

WHAT YOU’LL ACTUALLY BE DOING

Most days involve some mix of the following but not always in a predictable order:

– Designing and running cell and systems test programs: capacity, rate capability, aging, DCIR, abuse, thermal, EMC

– Building the hardware to make it happen: fixtures, enclosures, busbars, cooling setups, custom one-offs

– Turning data into conclusions, not just charts

– Pushing back on test requests that don't make sense and proposing something better

– Setting the standard on execution, builds, and lab practice

– Writing it down: test plans, procedures, results . Make it clean enough that someone else can pick it up

– Keeping the lab running: calibration, safety, general good citizenship

HOW WE WORK

We're a startup, which means everyone wears more hats than their job title suggests and the best ideas win regardless of who has them. We want someone who takes ownership of their work, speaks up early when something's off, and helps raise the standard for everyone around them. Not because they're told to, but because that's how they operate.

You'll have full access to the team, real context on why the work matters, and people around you who are invested in getting it right. We move fast and we move together.

QUALIFICATIONS

Required

– B.S. or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Materials Science, or equivalent
