What You will Do
Set up and execute battery characterization tests: charge/discharge cycling, capacity, internal resistance, load sweeps, and temperature-dependent behavior.
Operate lab instrumentation (source meters, electronic loads, battery cyclers, data acquisition systems, oscilloscopes, thermal chambers) and maintain calibration and safety standards.
Perform bench bring-up, functional testing, and characterization of power supply circuits, regulators, and power rails.
Build and maintain test fixtures, harnesses, and instrumentation for cells, packs, chargers, and power rails.
Capture, process, and analyze test data; identify anomalies, trends, and failure signatures; summarize findings in clear reports.
Support charging-system, fuel-gauge, and battery-management validation, including brownout, peak-power, and protection behavior.
Assist in root-cause investigations and characterization of power/battery issues discovered during bring-up and validation.
Document test plans, procedures, and results; keep organized records of raw data and derived metrics.
Follow all battery-handling, storage, and lab-safety protocols.
