Senior Battery Test Engineer
Anduril· Hardware Platform : Core Technology Products : Battery Engineering
Costa Mesa, CA$146k - $194kFull-timePosted 2w ago
About the role
Senior Battery Test Engineer focused on accelerating battery development timelines, validating battery cells/modules/packs, and developing robust test procedures and data processing tools to enable system-level decisions. Collaboration with Battery System Engineers and Development Test to characterize models and deploy them to HIL/simulations.
Responsibilities
- Enable extremely accelerated/aggressive battery development timelines by burning down risks at the cell, module, and pack level via development testing
- Support Battery System Engineers who support battery programs across Anduril with common test procedures/approaches at the cell, module, and pack level
- Design tools and protocols to enable efficient documentation of test procedures/results without adding significant time or wasted effort
- Write robust, modular data processing scripts and tools to efficiently provide plots/outputs that are required to enable informed system-level decisions
- Based on BMS/algorithm requirements- design robust and pragmatic test procedures to be executed iteratively at the model-in-loop (MIL), software-in-loop (SIL), and hardware-in-loop (HIL) levels
- Support validation of battery management system (BMS) algorithms, to include battery state handling, enable/disable switch (ie.. contactor or FET) control, cell balancing, state-of-charge (SOC) estimation, state-of-health (SOH), state-of-power (SOP) power limits, fault handling, isolation monitoring, high-voltage interlock loop (HVIL), etc
- Collaborate with Development Test and Battery Systems engineers to characterize battery cell equivalent circuit models and deploy them to battery HILs or simulations
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s Degree in related Engineering discipline, ideally with emphasis in battery development of some kind
- 7+ years of professional experience in a related engineering field
- Experience in an immersive interdisciplinary technical project (collegiate project teams or professional settings)
- Demonstrated validation of battery cells and modules/packs against system requirements
- Capability to compress timelines without sacrificing product quality by way of prioritization and brute force
- Experience in hardware automation and software-hardware communication/integration
- Demonstrated proficiency/utilization of Python or Matlab to process large data files into plots, summaries, metrics, etc.
- Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance
