Serve as the boots-on-the-ground site lead and operational owner for multi-pack integrated test assets at Form Factory 1 in Weirton, WV.

Partner directly with Project Engineering and Commissioning leads to drive cold/hot commissioning, operational acceptance testing (OATs), and initial asset energization.

Lead the translation of high-level Product Requirement Documents (PRDs) and ConOps into comprehensive system-level validation plans (VALs/VERTs) following the Test @ Form process.

Direct and execute complex test campaigns targeting the highest-level functionality of our battery systems—including multi-pack power flow, full charge/discharge cycling, controls state machines, auxiliary system responses, and safety interlocks.

Act as the primary technical point of contact on-site, coordinating daily testing priorities between Systems Test, Project Engineering, Controls, Firmware, and Tech Operations.

Lead troubleshooting efforts when system-level anomalies occur across electrical, mechanical, fluidic, controls, or software boundaries to unblock validation progress.

Review raw multi-pack telemetry, analyze system performance trends, and publish executive-level validation reports confirming PRD compliance and gating milestones.

Drive high standards for Lock-Out/Tag-Out (LOTO), high-voltage DC safety, chemical/electrolyte handling, hazard barriers, and 5S laboratory practices.

What you'll bring:

Bachelor’s degree in Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical discipline.

5+ years of hands-on experience in system-level integration, hardware validation, commissioning, or physical laboratory testing of complex multi-physics assets (energy storage systems, electric vehicles, grid-scale power systems, aerospace, or heavy industrial automation).

Demonstrated experience taking multi-subsystem hardware through commissioning and executing system-level PRD validation campaigns.
