Key Responsibilities:

• Manage the shipment of completed battery packs to designated test facilities per customer or project requirements.

• Coordinate validation testing activities in alignment with Design Validation Plans (DVP), test specifications, and engineering best practices.

• Ensure all required test components (battery packs, specifications, procedures, connectors, plugs, fixtures, etc.) are prepared and delivered on schedule.

• Review and approve test setups, fixtures, procedures, and test chamber configurations at internal and third-party test labs.

• Track test execution against the plan and provide updates during program or project reviews.

• Participate in troubleshooting efforts and support technical issue resolution during validation testing.

• Maintain detailed and organized test records for each validation activity.

• Review, approve, and archive final test reports and associated documentation.

• Manage the disposition of test hardware after completion of testing.

• Lead the development, improvement, and maintenance of validation procedures and test plans.

• Provide on-site engineering support at validation and test facilities as needed.

• Conduct technical investigations, root cause analysis, and implement corrective actions.

• Use tools such as CANalyzer or similar to support battery control module integration and diagnostics.

• Apply structured problem-solving methods such as DFSS, 8D, 5-Why, and Fault Tree Analysis.

• Recreate and analyze failure modes identified during testing or through field performance data.

Qualifications

Travel Requirements:

• Travel to regional testing and validation centers as required to support builds, testing, and issue resolution.

• Occasional visits to cross-border or out-of-state facilities depending on project needs.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Solid understanding of automotive EV battery design and battery electronics.

• Experience with design and process validation planning and execution.

• Familiarity with battery data collection tools and data plotting/analysis techniques.

• Proficient in diagnostic tools such as CANalyzer for battery system analysis.

• Strong analytical skills using DFSS, 8D, 5-Why, and Fault Tree Analysis methodologies.

• Knowledge of mechanical fasteners, torque specifications, and battery pack assembly.

• Familiarity with electronic BOM systems and CAD software; experience with TeamCenter is a plus.

• Ability to manage and prioritize multiple concurrent projects.

• Excellent technical communication and documentation skills.

• Experience in hands-on testing and validation of high-voltage systems preferred.
