Electrical Test & Validation Engineer, Robotics

The role

You will own validation of electrical systems and embedded software including batteries, circuit boards, harnesses, and motor controllers. This is a hands-on role involving probing boards, building test rigs, and investigating failures in a lab setting.

What you will do

• Define and execute electrical validation plans for power distribution, battery packs, BMS, circuit boards, motor drives, sensors, harnesses, and connectors.
• Conduct ESD and EMC pre-compliance testing and coordinate with external labs for FCC, CE, and UL compliance.
• Validate battery safety and performance and support testing to IEC 62133 and UN 38.3 standards.
• Develop automated firmware regression tests for communications, control loops, safety functions, and OTA updates.
• Perform fault-injection testing to verify error handling and safe-state behavior.
• Lead board- and system-level electrical failure analysis.
• Write clear test procedures and maintain accurate test data, reports, and findings.

Required qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent hands-on experience.
• 4+ years of hands-on experience in electrical validation or embedded systems testing for robotics, automotive, or consumer electronics.
• Strong bench skills, including the use of oscilloscopes, current probes, power analyzers, electronic loads, thermal cameras, and soldering equipment.
• Ability to read schematics and diagnose board-level failures.
• Experience testing power electronics, battery systems, or motor drives.
• Proficiency in Python for test automation and comfort working in Linux.
• Familiarity with embedded systems and communication interfaces, including CAN, SPI, I2C, UART, and Ethernet.

Nice to have

• Experience with EtherCAT or real-time motor control systems.
• Hands-on experience with EMC/ESD pre-compliance testing and FCC, CE, or UL compliance and certification activities.
• Knowledge of battery safety standards, including IEC 62133, UN 38.3, and UL 2271.
• Familiarity with functional safety standards, such as ISO 13849 and IEC 61508.
• Ability to read and write embedded C/C++.
• Experience building hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test systems and firmware continuous integration (CI) pipelines.
