About the role

This role is responsible for defining and executing the testing strategy that ensures the safety, reliability, and performance of our battery energy storage systems (BESS).
As a technical leader, you will guide the development of test infrastructure, test methodologies, and validation processes across R&D, product development, and certification activities.
Your work will directly influence product reliability, safety, and time-to-market as we scale our energy storage systems.

Own and lead Moment Energy's testing and validation strategy across R&D, product development, and certification.
Develop and maintain comprehensive test frameworks covering component, subsystem, rack, and full BESS-level validation.
Mentor and guide Test Engineers, providing technical leadership and support on complex testing activities.
Collaborate closely with engineering teams to define validation plans for new products, features, and design changes.
Design, build, and scale advanced test infrastructure for battery modules, racks, and full BESS systems.
Lead the development of automated testing systems, data acquisition infrastructure, and long-duration reliability testing capabilities.
Maintain and improve lab equipment, including battery cyclers, DAQ systems, power supplies, and instrumentation.
Design and execute complex test plans for product validation, certification, R&D investigations, and lifecycle testing.
Build and oversee advanced test setups involving high-voltage DC and AC systems (up to 1000VDC, 600VAC).
Develop custom test fixtures and experimental setups to evaluate new concepts and investigate failure modes.

Experience testing lithium-ion battery systems, battery modules, or battery energy storage systems.
Familiarity with battery cyclers and battery management systems (BMS).
Knowledge of battery and energy storage safety standards such as UL1973, UL9540, and related compliance frameworks.
Experience with industrial communication protocols such as CAN, Modbus, or SCPI.
Experience testing power electronics, inverters, and grid-connected energy systems.
Today, we're delivering 5x the energy density and have all the certifications needed to ship energy independence to the world.

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related engineering discipline.
6+ years of experience in hardware testing, validation, or verification roles.
Strong experience designing and executing complex engineering test plans and validation programs.
Demonstrated experience working safely with high-voltage DC and AC systems.
Experience with data acquisition systems (DAQ), instrumentation, and test automation.
Strong data analysis capabilities using tools such as Python, MATLAB, or similar environments.
Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to investigate complex system failures.
Previous experience in a high-growth fast-paced environment is highly desired.
Analyze large test datasets using Python or similar tools to identify performance trends, reliability issues, and failure mechanisms.

If you enjoy building testing systems from the ground up, solving complex engineering problems, and leading a critical function in a fast-growing clean technology company, this role is for you.
