EV Validation Engineer

About the role

We are seeking an experienced EV Charging Systems Verification Engineer to support the integration, validation, and testing of EV charging infrastructure and power electronics systems. This role will own the execution of system-level testing activities focused on charger interoperability, electrical system integration, and validation of third-party charging technologies. The engineer will develop and execute test plans, analyze results, troubleshoot electrical systems, and support deployment readiness across a wide range of electrification initiatives. This is a Contract position based out of Bellevue, WA. The work environment is 100% onsite in a warehouse-based engineering lab in Seattle, WA, requiring comfort around electrical test equipment, charging infrastructure, prototype hardware, and warehouse operations, with occasional domestic travel for field testing and data collection.

Responsibilities

• Support integration and validation of EV charging systems, power electronics, and associated electrical infrastructure.
• Develop, review, and execute system-level test plans and test procedures.
• Evaluate interoperability between charging infrastructure and vehicle platforms across multiple vendors.
• Perform root cause analysis and troubleshoot electrical and system-level issues.
• Generate detailed test reports and communicate findings to engineering stakeholders.
• Support prototype, vendor, and pre-deployment validation testing.
• Execute electrical, functional, and interoperability testing of charging systems and related hardware.
• Collect, analyze, and document test results.
• Utilize oscilloscopes, power analyzers, data acquisition equipment, and logging tools to evaluate system performance.
• Support automation and reporting efforts using Python, MATLAB, or similar tools.
• Maintain a safe, organized, and efficient testing environment.
• Conduct periodic lab safety audits and support high-voltage safety compliance.
• Coordinate equipment setup, test configurations, and laboratory readiness.
• Support shipping and receiving of test components, chargers, and electrical equipment.
• Collaborate with facilities, logistics, and warehouse personnel to support ongoing testing activities and assist with lab expansion or reconfiguration as needed.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or related technical field.
• 5+ years of experience in electrical systems integration, validation, testing, or commissioning.
• Hands-on experience with EV charging infrastructure, AC/DC power systems, power supplies, inverters, DC-DC converters, and power distribution equipment.
• Experience developing, reviewing, and executing electrical test plans and procedures.
• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, engineering drawings, and technical documentation.
• Experience troubleshooting complex electrical systems.
• Proficiency using oscilloscopes, power analyzers, multimeters, and data logging equipment.
• Familiarity with Python and/or MATLAB for data analysis and automation.
• Strong technical writing and reporting skills.

Additional Qualifications

• Experience with EVSE, DC Fast Charging, fleet charging infrastructure, or charging interoperability testing.
• Experience working with charging system vendors, vehicle manufacturers, or power electronics suppliers.
• Experience commissioning or validating high-voltage electrical systems.
• Prior experience supporting laboratory operations or validation test environments.
