Position Summary

Reporting to the Advanced Prototyping Lead, the Advanced Prototyping Test Engineer is responsible for defining tests, process and test hardware for early-stage prototype hardware in order to de-risk future products.

This is not your standard test engineer role, in that there will seldom be a test standard to follow; rather you will need to be creative and define the tests needed to identify problems and de-risk the product. Our team philosophy is based on fast-failure learnings using prototype hardware. This role calls for maximum creativity and a maximum observational approach to testing. Note that these are early-stage tests in order to tease out technical risk and increase Technology Readiness Level (“TRL”) of the products.

Main Tasks and Responsibilities

• Assist in developing processes for manufacturing and design-for-manufacturing.
• Develop test plans and test reports (note that these tests are often fuzzy and observational in nature). Areas of focus include equipment manufacturability, electrical performance, battery charge/discharge performance, heat rejection, thermal management, plumbing systems, vibration and destructive testing.
• Build prototype battery modules, either with in-house or supplier parts.
• Design test jigs, test hardware and prototype test equipment (some of which will be manufactured in-house.)
• Analyze test data/results and iterate on test plans as needed in order to identify and reduce risk.
• Assist with conducting tests if needed.
• Perform technical analysis of product performance, configuration, applications, and related topics.
• Demonstrate an in-depth understanding of the system and sub-system requirements.
• Report findings to project team and designers.

Work Experience and Qualifications

• BASc/BEng in relevant engineering discipline or equivalent
• 2+ years' experience designing, developing, manufacturing and/or testing energy storage or power electronics systems
• Engineering Technologists with extensive experience also encouraged to apply.
• Proven hands-on skills and mechanical assembly/troubleshooting experience.
• Broad understanding of engineering fundamentals across multiple disciplines, and proven experience of applying this knowledge to real-world industrial products.
• Experience with Li-ion batteries and chemistry is an asset
• Experience in the marine industry or marine product development is an asset
• Experience working in a multi-disciplinary engineering team
• Experience managing technical specifications, documentation, and requirements

Personal Qualifications

• Strong decision making, critical thinking, and analysis skills
• Strong technical writing and verbal communication skills

Salary Range

$70,000 to $85,000 CDN per year
