Job Description

You’ll be working with the engineering and validation team.

This team runs on coffee with an infectious passion to build products that have never been built before. Our Flexible Energy Stack consists of the e^pack (battery pack) and e^pump (charging station) which together unlock 15-minute rapid charging.

Our philosophy: Break. Believe. Build

Break stuff. Break assumptions. Break the thumb rule.

Believe in the team. Believe in the process. Believe through failures.

Build fast. Build passionately. Build to simplify.

What you will do:

We’ve cracked rapid charging repeatably. The e^pack, e^pump, and e^plug work together to deliver a 15-minute charge experience.

As a test engineer, you will execute the testing of battery BMS or pump, connector, or integration test of these individual components as an ecosystem.

What you'll do:

  • Understand the product(s) you test.
  • Execute test procedures as called in Exponent Standards.
  • Exercise safety practices and discipline in test execution.
  • Process test data in a methodological manner to capture deviations.
  • Work with sub-system owners till production & during product life.
  • Establish test standards to cover regression testing
  • Raise bugs, assign them to relevant sub-systems, and prioritize
  • Make sure the product meets all specifications

What you'll need:

  • Strong fundamental knowledge of electrical and mechanical concepts.
  • Experience in executing test instructions.
  • Hands-on on electrical wiring connections, torque tools, and cable size calculations.
  • Good understanding of measurement instruments like datalogger, O-scope, etc.
  • Good documentation skills for recording the observations of the test.
  • Should understand specifications and should tend to ask “Why”
  • Attitude to learn, dedication, and passion to work in a team that solves problem.
  • Previous test experience on battery BMS or charger systems.
  • Time management to complete tasks earlier than commitment.
  • Experience with Python coding to automate testing with R-Pi or Arduino boards

What matters:

  • Quality of work
  • Approach towards problem-solving
  • Dissatisfaction towards mediocre work
  • Resilient attitude to bounce back after failing
