Electromechanical Validation Engineer

Join Midtronics as an Electromechanical Validation Engineer and help ensure the reliability and performance of innovative battery diagnostic tools and systems. This role is ideal for engineers with deep electromechanical aptitude who thrive in a hands-on lab environment.

You’ll lead validation for a range of battery testers and diagnostic platforms for both traditional 12V ICE vehicles and high-voltage EV battery modules. Day-to-day work involves setting up complex test environments, troubleshooting real-world hardware issues, analyzing system behaviors, and collaborating with design, firmware, and manufacturing teams to ensure robust product performance.

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and execute validation test plans for electromechanical systems (e.g., test equipment with embedded electronics, relays, sensors, and power electronics).
• Build, maintain, and instrument hardware test setups involving DC power systems, loads, thermal management, cabling, enclosures, and mechanical interfaces.
• Use tools like oscilloscopes, DAQ systems, power supplies, thermal chambers, and custom test fixtures to execute validation activities.
• Investigate issues by analyzing both electrical signals and mechanical performance; drive root-cause resolution in cross-functional teams.
• Define and manage validation timelines to align with hardware development milestones.
• Act as primary liaison with external test labs for regulatory, certification, and environmental testing (e.g., thermal, vibration, EMC).
• Own compliance, qualification, and certification efforts for design releases.
• Author detailed validation plans, protocols, test reports, and engineering documentation.

Position Requirements:

• BS or higher in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related discipline
• Minimum 10 years of experience in hardware validation of electromechanical systems
• Proven track record diagnosing mixed signal, power, and electromechanical issues in lab environments
• Strong understanding of validation methods and lab instrumentation (oscilloscopes, DAQ, thermal cycling, high current load testing)
• Experience with LabVIEW or equivalent for test automation.
• Excellent technical communication and teamwork skills
