Senior Electronics Test Engineer

Role Description

Form Energy is hiring a Senior Electronics Test Engineer to join our BMS Test team. In this role, you will be responsible for getting our BMS electronics hardware through UL 991 certification. You will ensure that BMS electronics meet functional and compliance requirements through structured test campaigns. You’ll collaborate closely with hardware, firmware, systems, and compliance engineers to validate designs that are central to the safe and reliable operation of our battery systems.

What You'll Do

• UL Certification Ownership: Act as the EE technical lead in cooperation with a compliance engineer for product safety certification on our BMS PCBAs, specifically driving strategies to pass UL 991.
• Automated PCBA Functional Testing: Architect, write, and execute end-to-end automated test plans for functional testing for use during compliance testing.
• Test Fixture Design & Development: Design and assemble physical, automated test fixtures to interface with PCBAs under test, focussing heavily on fault injection to validate PCBA safe state functionality after UL stress testing.
• Support will be provided by the SW test team and Test Infrastructure teams.
• Documentation & FMEA: Generate rigorous test reports, maintain traceability matrices, and collaborate on Failure Modes and Effects Analyses (FMEA) to prepare technical data packages for UL auditors.
• Collaborate with design engineers to troubleshoot and root-cause hardware issues identified during testing.
• Maintain traceability between requirements, test cases, and results in accordance with product verification standards.
• Ensure tests are conducted in compliance with safety protocols and relevant industry standards.

What You'll Bring

• 4-7 years of experience in PCBA hardware testing.
• UL Experience: Minimum of 3–5+ years of hands-on experience navigating products through UL certification pipelines, with specific, demonstrable knowledge of UL 991, UL 1998, or IEC 61508 / ISO 13849 functional safety standards.
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or related field.
• 2+ years of experience using python to write automated test scripts.
• Hands-on experience with test instrumentation (oscilloscopes, power supplies, data acquisition systems, environmental chambers).
• Demonstrated ability to manage test plans, execute verification activities, and communicate findings effectively.
