Abuse Test Engineer New Product

Abuse Test Engineer New Product

Essential Duties:

As an early member of a new engineering team you will be responsible for designing executing and analyzing tests that simulate extreme conditions and misuse scenarios to ensure the safety of our new product.

Collaborating with design and manufacturing engineering you will identify potential failure modes and then intentionally abuse complex electromechanical and electrochemical systems (via short circuit overvoltage overheat overcharge and forced thermal propagation) in a controlled wellinstrumented welldocumented environment in order to stress those failure modes and ensure our products are robust to real world abuse.

Youre a doer excited about getting your hands dirty and working in a dynamic fastpaced setting and want to shape a new department at Redwood.

If necessary we will adjust the job level to suit your experience and responsibilities.

Responsibilities Will include:

• In addition to performing tests youll help define and build the test infrastructure that will allow us to test swiftly safely and with excellent documentation.
• You will also use your experience and understanding of failure mechanisms to help design new products to be as intrinsically robust to abuse as possible.
• Designing executing and analyzing tests that simulate extreme conditions and misuse scenarios to ensure the safety of our new product.
• Identify potential failure modes and then intentionally abuse complex electromechanical and electrochemical systems (via short circuit overvoltage overheat overcharge and forced thermal propagation) in a controlled wellinstrumented welldocumented environment in order to stress those failure modes and ensure our products are robust to real world abuse.

Desired Qualifications:

• Bachelors degree in physicsElectrical Engineering Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
• Strong understanding of physics and the physics of failure.
• Proven experience in abuse testing preferably in the energy storage or renewable energy sector.
• Proficiency in data analysis tools and software (e.g. MATLAB Minitab Python).
• Proven experience designingrobust fastsetup data acquisition rigs e.g. temperature sensor) and actuation e.g. heater remote knife switch)
• Excellent problemsolving skills and attention to detail.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.

Physical Requirements:

• Ability to perform the essential job functions consistent safely and successfully with the ADA FMLA and other federal state and local standards including meeting qualitative and/or quantitative productivity standards.
• Ability to maintain regular punctual attendance consistent with the ADA FMLA and other federal state and local standards

Working Conditions:

• Environment such as office or outdoors.
• Ability to work in challenging working conditions which may include exposure to noise dust chemicals and temperature extremes while protected by PPE for extended periods of time.
• Essential physical requirements such as climbing standing stooping or typing.
• Occasional work weekends nights or be oncall as a regular part of the job.
• Occasional travel requirements.

The position is fulltime. Compensation will be commensurate with experience.
