Battery Systems Validation Engineering Technician

About the role

The Battery Systems Validation Engineering Technician II supports engineering teams in developing and validating lithium-ion and lead-acid battery systems used with 3-phase UPS products. They perform tasks such as assembling, inspecting, configuring, and commissioning UPS battery cabinets, modules, busbars, fuses, breakers, communication harnesses, and monitoring components. They also execute tests, troubleshoot issues, and perform failure analysis.

Responsibilities

• Assemble, inspect, configure, and commission UPS battery cabinets, modules, busbars, fuses, breakers, communication harnesses, and monitoring components
• Execute charge/discharge, runtime, functional, thermal, communications, balancing, and commissioning tests
• Configure Battery Management Systems (BMS) and troubleshoot
• Use electrical test equipment and data-acquisition systems to record results and prepare test reports
• Troubleshoot battery modules, BMS components, controls, sensors, and UPS integration using schematics and wiring diagrams
• Perform authorized work on energized battery systems using required PPE, insulated tools, safe-work boundaries, and hazard controls; maintain an organized and safe test lab

Requirements

• Associate degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering Technology, Mechatronics, Industrial Maintenance, or a related field from an accredited institution
• Minimum three (3) years of experience with electrical power systems, batteries, UPS systems, industrial controls, or a related engineering/technical role
• Working knowledge of UPS battery fundamentals, including lead-acid and lithium-ion technologies, battery strings and cabinets, charging/discharging, basic BMS operation, and high-energy DC hazards
• Willing and able to work on or near energized electrical hazards using required arc-flash PPE, electrical gloves, insulated tools, barricades, and authorized safe-work procedures

Qualifications

• Preferred qualifications include live-work experience performing non-routine work on or near energized electrical conductors or circuit parts, experience with lithium-ion and lead-acid battery systems, UPS systems, energy storage, or power-conversion equipment, knowledge of Battery Management Systems (BMS), battery monitoring, alarms, firmware, and system configuration, experience with Modbus RTU/TCP, CANBus, Ethernet, or RS-485 communications, experience performing battery charge/discharge, runtime, functional, thermal, fault-injection, or commissioning tests, proficiency with digital multimeters, power analyzers, current probes, load banks, battery analyzers, and data-acquisition systems, ability to read electrical schematics, single-line diagrams, wiring diagrams, and mechanical assembly drawings, NFPA 70E training and qualification as an electrical worker, experience supporting engineering validation, UL/IEC product certification testing, or customer demonstrations, strong electrical troubleshooting skills and experience supporting root-cause investigations and verification testing, experience with battery cabinet assembly, pre-energization inspection, torque verification, and mechanical integration with UPS equipment, safety-focused decision making and attention to detail when working around high-energy DC systems
