What You’ll Do
Design and build test fixtures and measurement setups for electrical, mechanical, and environmental validation of battery modules, inverters, and interconnect hardware.
Build automated test rigs, configure and troubleshoot DAQ systems.
Run accelerated life tests, thermal cycling, and environmental stress scree
