About the role

Form Energy is hiring a Senior Electronics Test Engineer for the AMU (Auxiliary Management Unit) to join our BMS Test team.
Physically, the AMU PCBA sits inside the AMU Panel assembly along with the HIgh Voltage DC Shunt board which is responsible for measuring efficiency of our system, UPS, and PSUs.
It acts as a critical zone controller responsible for communication, network security, high-voltage/high-current sensing, power distribution, actuation, safety/fault management, and UPS management.

Test Strategy & DVP: Develop comprehensive test plans, DVP&Rs, and verification protocols for the AMU PCBA and its integrated panel assembly components.
Communication Protocol Verification: Validate safety-critical and non-safety communication interfaces including CAN-FD (to ZMUs), Ethernet (to ZMUs and upstream QMU), and dedicated RS485 (for UPS management).
Sensing Subsystem Validation: Design and execute test setups to verify precision sensing capabilities: Pack HV voltage (-1 to 1600V via HVDC Shunt resistor divider), Pack HV current (-500A to 500A via shunt R4), 48V PSU/UPS monitoring (0-60V), 48V total current draw (0-40A), and auxiliary temperatures.
Data Analysis & Root-Cause: Analyze test data, generate detailed reports, and collaborate with design engineers to root-cause board or firmware anomalies found during testing.
Test Automation: Contribute to test automation frameworks (utilizing Pytest) to optimize repeatability and scale verification throughput.
Demonstrated ability to manage test plans, execute verification activities, and communicate findings effectively.
To build America's energy future, we need everyone at the table.

4+ years of experience in PCBA hardware testing.
Must have robust board-level and system-level validation experience.
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
2+ years of experience in firmware verification, utilizing Pytest or similar unit testing frameworks.
Comfort with debugging tools, Linux environments, and Test-Driven Development (TDD)
Hands-on experience with test instrumentation (oscilloscopes, power supplies, data acquisition systems, environmental chambers).
Hands-on experience with high-voltage/high-current test instrumentation (power supplies, electronic loads)
