Your mission during this flight:
The purpose of this hybrid role is to organize and perform all testing activities regarding battery and battery management system (BMS) testing. This includes tests during development phase and qualification testing for type certification of the final product.
You will play a vital part in designing a safe wholistic battery and BMS by performing development & qualification tests. You will own the testing process end-to-end. This includes the preparation including process planing, documentation preparation, test hardware planing and creation, the scheduling of tests, building test setups, test conduction, test documentation and other tasks like cooperation with development on root cause analysis.
Tests include, for example, HIL testing, HIL automation, thermal runaway, short circuit, vibration and other environmental and special test requests. This might also include tests on components or materials for the battery and BMS, like housing materials, new fuses engineering versions of the BMS software an dother intermediate products within or for our battery.
You will identify and develop tests that allow understanding component and system behavior with a focus on battery cells and battery pack.
Your Tasks:
- Contribute on test plan creation and scheduling
- Clarify the test requirements
- Prepare test campaign documents
- Develop and maintain test setups
- Supervise and support test execution with external suppliers as well as executing tests yourself
