About the company
We are a stealth-mode battery startup developing cutting-edge battery technology. Our mission is to revolutionize battery technology to accelerate the global transition to clean energy. By leveraging innovative materials, advanced manufacturing techniques, and next-generation energy storage architectures, we are building the future of sustainable energy.
About the Role
We are seeking an Engineering Technician to support the Lab Manager and cross-functional engineering teams by building, testing, and maintaining equipment, systems, and prototypes. You’ll take on hands-on technical work spanning prototype assembly, experimental test execution, troubleshooting, calibration, documentation, and general lab support.
This is an on-the-floor role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, iterative development environment and enjoys solving practical problems with a “build it, test it, improve it” mindset.
Key Responsibilities:
Prototyping & Build Support
• Build low-volume prototype assemblies across a broad range of product lifecycle milestones (early concepts through new product introduction).
• Perform hands-on fabrication and integration (mechanical and electro-mechanical) to support engineering development and validation.
• Rework or modify prototype components/systems to restore or improve functionality.
Testing & Development
• Conduct experiments and run test procedures; collect measurements and observations with attention to repeatability and safety.
• Assist in refining/reworking test setups to streamline process implementation and/or improve data collection quality.
• Troubleshoot test hardware, fixtures, and instrumentation; assist with root-cause investigations.
Equipment Installation, Calibration & Maintenance
• Set up, install, calibrate, and maintain lab equipment and systems.
• Diagnose issues, perform repairs where appropriate, and coordinate with vendors when needed.
• Maintain equipment readiness through preventative maintenance schedules and calibration records.
Data, Documentation & Reporting
• Collect, organize, analyze, and compile test data; create lab reports and update logs/records.
• Read and interpret drawings/blueprints; support inspection and quality-control checks.
• Document build/test procedures, configurations, and results to ensure traceability and reproducibility.
Collaboration & General Lab Support
• Partner closely with engineers and cross-functional stakeholders (test, manufacturing, analysis) and occasionally external vendors/clients.
• Support 5S / lab organization, continuous improvement activities, and flexible coverage across multiple projects and facilities as needed.
• Cross-train with other technicians to increase team capability and equipment coverage.
Physical Demands
• Bending, stooping, reaching, and grasping; routinely move materials up to 50 lbs.
• In this role, you will frequently climb ladders, operate foot/hand controls, and stand/walk for extended periods throughout the workday.
Qualifications & Experience
• Associate’s degree or certificate in an engineering/technology discipline (or equivalent hands-on technical experience).
• Strong hands-on technical ability in building, testing, and troubleshooting mechanical and/or electro-mechanical systems.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, schematics, and basic blueprint requirements; comfort using precision measurement tools.
• Strong analytical/problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and clear communication/documentation habits.
• Comfortable working in dynamic environment, and changing priorities with a flexible, collaborative attitude.
