• Execute BMS functional verification for pack-level applications and ensure compliance
with safety cut-offs.
• Support limited cell-level characterization and BMS testing when required.
• Operate and maintain DAQs, oscilloscopes, thermal chambers, environmental chambers,
and pack test rigs.
• Conduct Root Cause Analysis (RCA) for pack-level failures and recommend design or
process improvements.
• Analyse test data to support Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and design optimization.
• Prepare detailed technical reports with test results, deviations, conclusions, and
recommendations.
• Ensure compliance with relevant IEC, BIS, UN38.3, and other applicable standards.
Communication:
Strong verbal and written skills for creating clear test plans, procedures, and reports.
Ability to present validation findings to R&D, Operations, and Certification stakeholders
effectively.
Core Competencies:
• Expertise in battery pack testing methodologies for advanced chemistries.
• Proficiency in safety and environmental testing for battery packs.
• Understanding of battery integration with inverters, solar systems, and chargers.
• Hands-on experience with pack testers, DAQs, and environmental testing equipment.
Interpersonal Competencies
• Effective collaboration with R&D internal cross-functional teams.
• Proactive approach to problem-solving and continuous process improvement.
• Strong organizational and multitasking abilities.
Professional Skills Required:
• Deep understanding of lithium-ion, sodium-ion, and other advanced battery chemistries.
• Knowledge of BMS functionality, pack assembly, and safety systems.
• Skilled in operating oscilloscopes, power analysers, thermal chambers, vibration tables,
and environmental test rigs.
• Ability to execute both manual and automated testing workflows.
• Proficiency in MS Office for data analysis, reporting, and documentation.
Desirable:
• Experience in UN38.3, IEC 62133, and BIS safety certification testing.
• Knowledge of EMI/EMC testing for battery systems.
• Exposure to statistical reliability tools (Weibull, Arrhenius).
Educational Qualifications & Experience:
Bachelor’s degree in Electrical or Electronics Engineering (or related discipline).
5–10 years of hands-on experience in battery pack testing and validation in a product
design validation environment.
Industry Preferred:
Battery system manufacturers, energy storage system developers, inverter/UPS/solar
product manufacturers.
General Requirements:
• Self-motivated, process-driven, and detail-oriented.
• Strong analytical and strategic thinking skills.
• Commitment to quality, safety standards, and continuous improvement.
