Electrical Test Engineer
Moment EnergyAbout Moment Energy Independent energy is here. Help us deploy it. Energy should be free. Free from aging grids, fragile supply chains, and unnecessary extraction. At Moment Energy, we're building a world where clean power is abundant, affordable, and uninterrupted for everyone. The world doesn't need another promise about energy; it needs proof that a freer future is possible. Moment Energy is the pragmatic liberator of power, the only company certified to turn the largest untapped energy supply into independent energy. Now is the moment. While the industry scraps millions of batteries with decades of life left, we put them to work by repurposing large-format batteries into advanced battery energy storage systems that deliver real-world impact. We were told second-life batteries would never be safe enough or scalable enough. We didn't argue, we engineered the solution. Today, Moment Energy delivers 5x the energy density and holds the certifications required to deploy energy independence at scale. Now is the moment. Join us. The Opportunity We are seeking a detail-oriented and hands-on Electrical Test Engineer to join our dynamic team. This role is crucial for ensuring the safety, reliability, and performance of our innovative battery energy storage systems (BESS). You will spend the majority of your time (80%+) in the R&D and production lab, setting up, running, and analyzing a wide variety of tests. You will also be expected to develop Testers from the ground up, and support the broader test team with custom PCBs that will help simplify our Testers and reduce cost. Your work will directly contribute to our product development, certification, and overall success. If you are passionate about clean technology and thrive in a hands-on, fast-paced environment, this is the role for you. Responsibilities and Duties Develop, execute, and document comprehensive test plans for various needs, including certification, compliance, R&D, component validation, and lifecycle testing. Take primary ownership of hands-on test setup, including the wiring of thermocouples, power supplies, fuses, contactors, cameras, and cooling bench setups. Design and build custom R&D test setups to prototype novel concepts and investigate failure modes. Design PCBs and power electronics for in-house testers, with the goal of making them more capable, easier to operate, and cheaper to build. Build certification test setups from cell up to BESS-level for pre-compliance tests and live witness testing by certified test labs. Work directly with high-voltage DC and AC systems (up to 1000VDC, 600VAC), ensuring all safety protocols are rigorously followed. Operate and manage battery cyclers to perform tests on cells, modules, racks, and full BESS units. Set up and configure data acquisition systems (Agilent DAQ, NI) for data capture of various signals (CAN, ModBus, temperature, humidity, voltage, current, etc.) Utilize standard test equipment such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, and multimeters to diagnose and validate system performance. Create and develop scripts to automate test equipment, data gathering, and long-term tests. Analyze test data using Python, summarize findings, and create clear, concise reports and presentations for the engineering team. Support the team with abuse testing, including sample preparation and test setup coordination. Maintain, troubleshoot, and calibrate lab test equipment to ensure accuracy and reliability. Contribute to the creation of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for testing and lab activities. The Candidate We're looking for individuals with the following traits, skills, and experiences: Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical field. 2+ years of experience in a hands-on testing, validation, or verification role. Demonstrated experience working safely with high-voltage DC and AC systems. PCB design experience (schematic capture and layout in Altium, KiCad, or similar), especially fo…
