What a day looks like
You’ll start by reviewing test protocols, selecting the right equipment programs, and setting up fixtures for batteries, chargers, cable assemblies, amplifiers, and complete kits. Your morning might include Safety Assessment and First Article testing, then shift into United Nations Testing on cells and batteries. Throughout the day, you’ll capture data and turn it into insight using spreadsheets, databases, and Visual Basic routines to download, organize, and analyze results.
Afternoons are for accuracy: you’ll create and update standardized or special test reports aligned to our SOPs, verify instruments are within calibration, and confirm systems and components meet established specifications and customer protocols. You’ll document procedures, maintain precise in‑process and completed production records, and recommend improvements to the Quality Assurance Program. Expect hands‑on time with digital multimeters, thermocouples, environmental chambers, dial gauges, and data acquisition tools. As needs arise, you’ll jump in on other assigned duties, including occasional overtime or off‑shift work.
