• Attend Cell and Module engineering meetings, support meeting assignments
• Cell Test Engineers will work with lab technicians on test preparation, test setup, test execution and post-test battery handling.
• Ensure all training requirements are kept up to date • Escalate issues to management as needed
• Successful candidates will have an opportunity to contribute to a world-class battery lab from the launch stage all the way to the full operation.
• After the launch of the lab, the role responsibilities would shift to execution and analysis of cell tests, focusing on obtaining the highest quality of data in the most efficient manner possible.
• In lab launch stage: Complete required training; follow safety requirements
• Work with data engineers on test data processing, analyzing and visualization
• Develop and validate test scripts and reports
• The role will be responsible for developing work procedures for all standard work associated with cell testing, conforming to existing safety standards, developing test scripts and report templates, working on the commissioning of cell testing equipment of the new battery lab.
• Ensure reports are delivered in a timely manner and highest possible quality
• Keep test requestors informed on status of all running tests, report intermediate results on a regular basis
• The role will be responsible for the creation of a formal test report at the completion of testing as well as any intermediate reports to the test requestors as requested on running or issue status.
• Support root cause analysis and resolution of issues found during testing
• Work on test preparation and setup
• Initially the role will be focused on training, documentation and launch of the lab; will be required to complete all needed training and follow all lab safety processes and procedures.
• Ensure hardware and software support needs are addressed during installation of equipment and set up of the lab
• Develop and execute test plans for cells, including performance and safety testing
• Work with automation engineers on verifying test scripts prior to execution
• Support the commissioning of cell test equipment Lab in full operation:
• Ensure all work procedures and tests comply with lab safety requirements
