Position Summary
Reporting to the Advanced Prototyping Lead, the Advanced Prototyping Test Engineer is responsible for defining tests, process and test hardware for early-stage prototype hardware in order to de-risk future products.
This is not your standard test engineer role, in that there will seldom be a test standard to follow; rather you will need to be creative and define the tests needed to identify problems and de-risk the product. Our team philosophy is based on fast-failure learnings using prototype hardware. This role calls for maximum creativity and a maximum observational approach to testing. Note that these are early-stage tests in order to tease out technical risk and increase Technology Readiness Level (“TRL”) of the products.
Main Tasks and Responsibilities
- Assist in developing processes for manufacturing and design-for-manufacturing.
- Develop test plans and test reports (note that these tests are often fuzzy and observational in nature). Areas of focus include equipment manufacturability, electrical performance, battery charge/discharge performance, heat rejection, thermal management, plumbing systems, vibration and destructive testing.
- Build prototype battery modules, either with in-house or supplier parts.
- Design test jigs, test hardware and prototype test equipment (some of which will be manufactured in-house.)
- Analyze test data/results and iterate on test plans as needed in order to identify and reduce risk.
- Assist with conducting tests if needed.
- Perform technical analysis of product performance, configuration, applications, and related topics.
- Demonstrate an in-depth understanding of the system and sub-system requirements.
- Report findings to project team and designers.
Work Experience and Qualifications
- BASc/BEng in relevant engineering discipline or equivalent
- 2+ years’ experience designing, developing, manufacturing and/or testing energy storage or power electronics systems
- Engineering Technologists with extensive experience also encouraged to apply.
- Proven hands-on skills and mechanical assembly/troubleshooting experience.
- Broad understanding of engineering fundamentals across multiple disciplines, and proven experience of applying this knowledge to real-world industrial products.
- Experience with Li-ion batteries and chemistry is an asset
- Experience in the marine industry or marine product development is an asset
- Experience working in a multi-disciplinary engineering team
- Experience managing technical specifications, documentation, and requirements
Personal Qualifications
- Strong decision making, critical thinking, and analysis skills
- Strong technical writing and verbal communication skills
Salary Range
$70,000 to $85,000 CDN per year
