Qualification Engineer I

• Education and experience:Associate's degree in Electrical Engineering Technology, Electronics Technology, or a related technical discipline (Bachelor's in Engineeringpreferred);ORan equivalent combination of technical training and hands-on test lab experience (e.g., 4+ years as a hardware test technician with demonstrated growth into procedure development, formal reporting, and independent test execution).
• Minimum of 2 years of hands-on experience in product development, qualification, or compliance testing.
• Strong working knowledge of standard electronics test equipment including oscilloscopes, digital multimeters, programmable power supplies, and data loggers.
• Ability to interpret electrical schematics and perform basic electrical calculations.
• Demonstrated experience with data gathering, analysis, and technical report generation.
• Strong computer skills, highly proficient using MS Word and Excel (pivot tables, charts, lookups).
• Fluent in English with strong verbal and written technical communication skills.
• Capable of working in a team environment and independently with minimal supervision; reacts well under pressure, accepts responsibility for own actions, and follows through on commitments.

Prior experience executing formal regulatory or compliance testing is the single strongest differentiator for this role.

What we care about is that you have worked in a structured, requirements-driven test environment where procedures, deviations, and results must withstand external scrutiny.

with any of the following standards families is highly valued:

• Lithium battery transport testing — UN 38.3, IATA DGR, 49 CFR 173.185
• Environmental qualification — MIL-STD-810, RTCA DO-160, IEC 60068
• EMC / EMI testing — MIL-STD-461, MIL-STD-464, CISPR, FCC Part 15, IEC 61000-4-x
• Product safety and agency testing — UL, IEC 62133, CE, TUV, CSA
• Experience working with or coordinating third-party accredited test labs (A2LA, ISO/IEC 17025)

Additional pluses:

• Hands-on experience with environmental chambers (Cincinnati Sub-Zero, Thermotron, ESPEC) and Watlow controllers.
• Experience with battery cyclers (Maccor, Chroma, Arbin) and battery fuel-gauging techniques.
• Experience with electrodynamic vibration and mechanical shock systems.
• Familiarity with EMC pre-compliance tools (ESD guns, LISN, spectrum analyzers).
• Experience developing automated test equipment (ATE).
• Direct experience working with lithium batteries, chargers, and battery management systems.

This position has a clearly defined progression to Qualification Engineer II, with mentorship on regulatory ownership, cross-functional test program leadership, and formal customer-facing qualification reporting.

We are actively investing in our test lab capability — including facility expansion, new test capability build-out, and modern automation tooling — and this role will play a direct part in that growth.

• Curiosity — asking why a test exists, not just how to run it.
• Comfort with ambiguity — qualification work is full of "the spec is silent on this, what do we do."
• Ownership — following up on late test articles, missing information, or open deviations without being asked.
• Cross-functional communication —abilityto work respectfully with design engineers, program managers, and external labs, including the ability to push back constructively.
