## About the Role

o 5+ years of PCBA hardware testing, validation or design-verification experience.
o Ability to derive test methods from schematics and sometimes ambiguous requirements, not just execute existing procedures.
o Strong board/system-level testing knowledge, including BMS architecture and analog/digital circuits.
o Experience with embedded interfaces such as CAN, SPI, I2C and UART; CAN is particularly important.
o Hands-on use of EE lab/bench tools and equipment including oscilloscopes, differential probes, multimeters, power supplies, DAQ systems and environmental chambers.
o Experience testing and troubleshooting electrical hardware up to approximately 85v.
o Exposure to firmware verification, HIL testing, and/or driver-level debugging.
o Strong documentation, requirements traceability and technical communication skills.
Preferred:
o Battery, BMS, automotive, energy-storage or safety-critical electronics experience.
o DVP&R and root-cause analysis experience.
o Jama, Polarion, DOORS or similar requirements tools.
o Python, AI-assisted scripting and UL/compliance testing experience.

## Description

o Develop and execute design-verification testing for BMS PCBAs and integrated systems. The engineer will interpret schematics and requirements, determine the proper test methodology, document procedures, perform hands-on bench testing, analyze results and communicate findings to hardware, firmware and systems engineers.
o This is an electrical hardware-validation role-not software QA or primarily automated testing.
Responsibilities:
o Develop test plans and verification procedures from schematics and system requirements.
o Execute functional, reliability and environmental testing at the board and system levels.
o Define test configurations, instrumentation and calibration requirements.
o Analyze data, document results and maintain requirements-to-test traceability.
o Troubleshoot and root-cause hardware failures with engineering teams.
o Support test-readiness and design-verification reviews.
o Contribute lightweight automation where it improves repeatability or throughput.
o Follow laboratory safety and applicable compliance standards.
