Redwoodmaterials The Abuse Test Engineer at Redwood Materials designs, executes, and analyzes tests simulating extreme conditions and misuse scenarios to ensure product safety. The role involves collaborating with design and manufacturing teams to identify failure modes and intentionally abuse electromechanical and electrochemical systems in controlled environments.

Responsibilities

In addition to performing tests, you’ll help define and build the test infrastructure that will allow us to test swiftly, safely, and with excellent documentation
You will also use your experience and understanding of failure mechanisms to help design new products to be as intrinsically robust to abuse as possible
Designing, executing, and analyzing tests that simulate extreme conditions and misuse scenarios to ensure the safety of our new product
Identify potential failure modes and then intentionally abuse complex electromechanical and electrochemical systems (via short circuit, overvoltage, overheat, overcharge, and forced thermal propagation) in a controlled, well-instrumented, well-documented environment in order to stress those failure modes and ensure our products are robust to real world abuse
