Sobre esta vaga de Power System - High Voltage Test Specialist (R4728) na Shieldai
We are growing the Avionics Engineering team to support the development of the X-BAT aircraft. Our team is designing a flight-critical, custom avionics system supporting communications, compute, AI, power, telemetry and other essential aircraft systems.
Shield AI is seeking an Avionics Specialist or early-career Test Engineer to support the testing and verification of X-BAT’s battery energy storage, electric motors and high-voltage motor-drive systems. This position will be primarily responsible for setting up, operating, and refining battery storage and/or dynamometer-based test systems used to characterize energy storage, electric machine and motor-drive performance.
The role sits at the intersection of electrical, mechanical and test engineering and may be a fit for either a junior engineer or an experienced technician with strong, directly relevant dynamometer experience. You will partner closely with the Power Systems team and other cross-functional engineering groups throughout design, verification, integration and qualification.
This position is based in Dallas, Texas.
What you'll do:
-
Set up and operate dynamometer systems for electric motor and motor-drive testing
-
Setup and operate battery energy storage systems for testing
-
Configure instrumentation, sensors, fixtures, harnesses and data-acquisition equipment
-
Execute test campaigns for electromechanical or electrochemical subsystems, verifying voltage rails, logic levels, performance, thermal behavior and overall functionality
-
Perform testing, debugging and system-level troubleshooting
-
Collect and evaluate test data, identify abnormal behavior and communicate findings
-
Support environmental qualification testing, including temperature, vibration, altitude and humidity
-
Install, verify, and deploy DC-sources, power converters, test fixtures and harnesses
-
Assist with the design and buildout of the battery and/or motor-test labs
Required qualifications
-
Associate degree or higher in electrical technology, mechanical technology, mechatronics engineering, electrical engineering, mechanical engineering or a related technical discipline
-
Hands-on experience with batteries, dynamometers, electric motors, motor drives, powertrain systems, or comparable electromechanical equipment through employment, internships, academic teams, clubs or personal projects
-
Experience setting up and executing hardware tests using instrumentation, sensors and data-acquisition equipment
-
Experience troubleshooting systems involving electrical and mechanical components
-
Familiarity with benchtop electrical equipment such as multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies and electronic loads
-
Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, mechanical drawings and test procedures
-
Understanding of laboratory safety practices, including the safe operation of high-voltage or high-power equipment
-
Demonstrated ownership, reliable execution, clear documentation, and effective collaboration with engineers, technicians and cross-functional partners
