• Ability to interpret engineering schematics, wiring diagrams, specifications, and technical documentation.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills involving electrical and electromechanical systems.
• Experience creating technical reports, test procedures, and engineering documentation.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills.
• Ability to work effectively in a cross-functional engineering environment.
• Ability to travel occasionally as required.
• Must be able to lift 25 pounds/11.5 kilos on occasions.
• Must be a "U.S. Person" under ITAR (U.S. citizen, lawful permanent resident, or a refugee/asylee) and/or otherwise comply with ITAR requirements.

Nice To Haves

• Three (3) to five (5) years of experience in product testing, validation, or manufacturing support.
• Experience with power electronics, battery systems, energy storage systems, or hybrid power solutions.
• Experience testing embedded systems, communications equipment, or military products.
• Familiarity with CAN bus communications, data acquisition systems, and automated test equipment.
• Knowledge of qualification testing to military and commercial standards.
• Experience supporting product development from prototype through production.
• Experience with failure analysis and root cause corrective action methodologies.
• Experience supporting Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) or new product introduction activities.
• Exposure to manufacturing process improvement, yield enhancement, and production test optimization.

Responsibilities

• Develop, execute, and maintain engineering test plans and procedures for power electronics, battery systems, embedded electronics, and electromechanical products.
• Perform functional, electrical, environmental, reliability, and system-level testing throughout product development and production.
• Support verification and validation activities for prototypes, qualification units, and Low Rate Initial Production (LRIP) hardware.
• Execute production acceptance testing and evaluate product performance against specifications and requirements.
• Identify opportunities to improve product quality, reliability, repeatability, and manufacturing efficiency.
• Perform initial bring-up and evaluation of new hardware and integrated systems.
• Troubleshoot electrical, firmware, software, and system integration issues.
• Utilize laboratory test equipment to evaluate system performance, diagnose failures, and verify corrective actions.
• Collect, analyze, and interpret test data to support root cause investigations and engineering decision-making.
• Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, firmware, systems, and manufacturing engineers to resolve technical issues and improve overall product performance.
• Develop engineering test procedures, acceptance test procedures, automated test methods, and manufacturing test processes.
• Support product qualification testing to applicable military and commercial standards.
• Continuously improve test methods, equipment, and processes to increase throughput, repeatability, efficiency, and reliability.
• Assist in the transition of products from development into manufacturing by establishing robust production test processes.
• Prepare detailed engineering documentation, including test plans, procedures, qualification reports, acceptance test reports, and failure analysis reports.
• Maintain traceability between product requirements, test procedures, and verification results.
• Document test results, observations, corrective actions, and recommendations.
• Support engineering change activities, customer documentation, and product qualification packages.
• Support manufacturing and LRIP activities by troubleshooting production issues and improving test processes.
• Partner with manufacturing engineers to improve yield, reduce test cycle times, and enhance production efficiency.
• Assist with customer demonstrations, product evaluations, qualification events, and field testing activities.
• Occasionally travel to customer sites, test facilities, and field exercises to support product integration, validation, and customer acceptance activities.
• Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives that enhance product quality, manufacturability, and long-term reliability.
