Job Description

Seeking a hands-on Test Engineer to develop and execute mechanical, shock/vibration, and controlled-heating test methods for material, cell, and battery-module evaluation. The engineer will own test methodology, fixture/setup design, equipment programming, data acquisition, analysis, and reporting while guiding technicians through sample preparation and test execution.

Key Responsibilities

  • Develop test methodologies and protocols for mechanical material characterization, shock/vibration, and controlled-heating safety testing.
  • Perform material testing to generate mechanical-property data for simulation input and calibration.
  • Develop and execute tensile and compression tests using Instron systems.
  • Program Instron controllers for test speeds and load vs. displacement control; acquire and analyze test data.
  • Design mechanical test fixtures, grips, and setups using CAD.
  • Set up and use Digital Image Correlation (DIC), including specimen speckling and high-speed/high-frame-rate cameras for strain, motion, swelling, and deformation measurement.
  • Define sample-preparation methods and guide technicians in cutting, machining, and preparing specimens from finished batteries.
  • Plan and execute shock/vibration testing using accelerometers and high-speed dynamic data acquisition.
  • Program and operate temperature/humidity environmental chambers and ovens for controlled-heating tests.
  • Configure thermocouples, temperature measurements, pressure sensors, and flow-rate sensors.
  • Support battery cell/module teardown and testing as needed.
  • Analyze test data, prepare SOPs and technical reports, and communicate results to engineering teams.
  • Guide technicians, troubleshoot test setups/equipment, and collaborate with internal and external test laboratories.

Required Qualifications

  • MS in Mechanical Engineering or related discipline with 3+ years of relevant experience, OR BS with 5+ years of relevant experience.
  • Strong hands-on experience with tensile and compression testing for mechanical-property characterization.
  • Strong experience programming and operating Instron systems and extracting test data/reports.
  • Hands-on experience with DIC for strain/deformation measurement and high-speed/high-frame-rate cameras.
  • Experience designing test fixtures, grips, and mechanical setups using CAD.
  • Experience with sample preparation and battery cell teardown.
  • Experience with shock/vibration testing, accelerometers, motion/acceleration measurement, and dynamic data acquisition.
  • Experience with environmental chambers, ovens, controlled-heating testing, and temperature/pressure monitoring.
  • Experience with thermocouples, temperature measurement, pressure sensors, and flow-rate sensors.
  • Ability to troubleshoot testing issues, analyze data, document methods, and produce clear technical reports.
  • Comfortable combining hands-on laboratory work, data analysis, documentation, and collaboration with test technicians.

Preferred

  • Automotive, consumer electronics, structural/mechanical testing, reliability, or similar laboratory experience.
  • Familiarity with machining, laser cutting, water-jet cutting, or other specimen-preparation methods.
  • Battery testing experience is helpful but not required.
  • Battery cycling experience is not required.
