Senior Electrical Hardware Test Engineer, Energy Storage
Redwood Materials · San Francisco, CA · Posted 14 days ago
Validate high-voltage power electronics (400–2000VDC) behind grid-scale energy storage, owning root-cause fault isolation from bench to component level.
About Redwood Materials
Join Redwood Materials to validate the high-voltage power electronics behind the world’s energy storage systems. You’ll design and run validation tests on components and assemblies operating at 400–2000VDC and 480–800VAC. You’ll work directly from schematics, Altium layouts, and datasheets to understand switching topologies, gate drive, isolation, protection, and thermal behavior, then use that understanding to build sharper tests. When something fails, you’ll probe the circuit, isolate the fault, and drive root cause to the component level. You’ll design and source custom PCBAs for characterization, build electrical-focused test infrastructure with mechanical and software elements, and write Python tools to automate testing and analyze data. Working alongside design, reliability, and abuse engineers on FMEAs and test plans, you’ll turn complex data into design and process improvements that ship. If you thrive at the bench, love finding the real cause of a failure, and want your work to matter from day one, this is your role.
Essential Duties and Responsibilities
- Design, set up, and execute validation tests on high-voltage power electronics components and assemblies
- Read and work directly from schematics, Altium layouts, and datasheets to understand circuit behavior and inform test design
- Debug and diagnose hardware hands-on — probe circuits, isolate faults, and drive root cause investigations to the component level
- Design, fabricate, and source custom PCBAs to support component-level characterization and test needs
- Specify and build supporting test infrastructure spanning electrical, mechanical, and software domains, with an emphasis on electrical scope
- Develop and maintain test automation and data analysis tools using Python
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (design, reliability, and abuse engineers) to generate FMEAs and test plans; analyze complex test data and drive design and process enhancements
