Formenergy Staff Validation Engineer, Electrical Systems at Formenergy to lead system-level testing of electrical, software, and control systems. Deliver learnings to improve Power Conversion and Network Systems.
Responsibilities
This is an exciting opportunity to contribute to the scaling of our battery technology and be part of the growth of a fast-moving company with breakthrough technology and an incredible mission!
Relocation assistance is available.
Identify the system-level tests, test assets, and operating conditions needed to retire the highest-risk electrical, software, and control system unknowns.
Architect comprehensive test plans and procedures that validate Power Conversion Systems (DC/DC, inverter) and Network Systems (plant-level communications) behaviors across electrical, software, and control layers.
Act as the primary technical bridge between design teams (electrical hardware, software, controls), test engineering, and product management to translate high-level requirements into executable validation strategies.
Partner closely with Site Operations and Facilities teams to manage the infrastructure footprint, power requirements, safety protocols (hazard reviews, FMEA), and continuous uptime of test assets.
Lead the day-to-day execution of test campaigns. When anomalies occur, spearhead root-cause analysis (RCA) and triage across electrical hardware, software, controls, and test infrastructure.
Synthesize complex test data into clear, actionable engineering reports and leadership dashboards to gate product milestones.
Act as a force multiplier by coaching, mentoring, and leveling up junior engineers and test technicians.
Champion a culture of safety, cleanliness, 5S, and rigorous documentation within the testing lab environment.
What you'll bring:
8+ years of experience in systems validation, integration testing, or hardware test engineering (ideally within power electronics, grid storage, renewables, electric vehicles, or aerospace).
