A Test Equipment Design Engineer, BMS Hardware job opportunity is available with our client in Berkeley, Ca. In this role, you will be the core technical engine partnering with our Technical Program Manager (TPM) to build the infrastructure required for critical UL 991 compliance and long-term BMS Reliability testing.
Job Duties
* Architect, design, and lay out industrial control panels, power distribution systems, and safety interlock circuits required for high-channel-count BMS testing.
* Create comprehensive electrical schematics, wiring diagrams, and Bills of Materials (BOMs) for test racks, integrating PLCs, data acquisition (DAQ) units, power supplies, and load banks.
* Design robust hardware-level safety features, including E-stop circuits, thermal cutoffs, and isolation monitoring to handle automated, continuous testing safely.
* Utilize 3D CAD to design custom mechanical fixtures, enclosures, and interface blocks used inside and outside environmental chambers to hold, connect, and probe BMS PCBAs.
* Design and specify low-voltage signaling and high-current power wire harnesses, factoring in shielding, signal integrity, thermal dissipation, and industrial strain relief.
* Rapidly design and deploy the specialized, highly repeatable test beds required by certification bodies to achieve UL 991 compliance.
* Maximize design reuse by adapting the core UL 991 testbed architecture into a broader, scalable BMS Reliability testing platform.
Knowledge/Skills/Education
* 3+ years of experience designing custom electromechanical test equipment, automated test equipment (ATE), or R&D/manufacturing test beds for complex electronics.
* A degree in Mechatronics, Electrical, Mechanical, or Robotics Engineering (or equivalent practical experience) showcasing a strong balance of electrical and mechanical design skills.
* Proficiency with electrical schematic capture tools (e.g., EPLAN, AutoCAD Electrical, Altium) and 3D mechanical CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, NX, Inventor).
* Familiarity with industrial control components (relays, contactors, PLCs, fuses, DAQ systems) and panel building best practices.
* Comfortable using standard shop tools, soldering irons, wire crimpers, multimeters, and oscilloscopes to build, verify, and debug your own equipment.
* Familiarity with industrial standards for panel design and safety (e.g., UL 508A, NFPA 79)
