About the Role

As a Hardware Reliability & Test Engineering Intern, you'll work directly with our Reliability and Test team to design test fixtures, run validation experiments, analyze failure data, and help close the feedback loop between the lab and the design team.

Responsibilities

  • Design and build test fixtures and measurement setups for electrical, mechanical, and environmental validation of battery modules, inverters, and interconnect hardware.
  • Build automated test rigs, configure and troubleshoot DAQ systems.
  • Run accelerated life tests, thermal cycling, and environmental stress screening in our fleet of environmental chambers.
  • Analyze test data in Python using scripts to automate data ingest, anomaly detection, and pass/fail evaluation.
  • Support root cause and failure analysis on hardware issues, from visual inspection and solder rework to schematic-level investigation.
  • Contribute to test reports and reliability documentation that tell a clear, data-backed story.

Requirements

  • Current junior, senior, or graduate student in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • Hands-on experience building or testing electromechanical hardware; personal projects count.
  • Comfort with Python for data analysis.
  • Familiarity with bench instruments: oscilloscopes, power supplies, multimeters, DAQ systems.
  • Attention to detail and a high bar for documentation.
  • Curious, self-directed, and willing to dig into a problem that doesn't have an obvious answer.
