  • Execute comprehensive material characterization tests using specialized mechanical testing equipment
  • Perform systematic stress-strain property extraction from thin layer materials used in battery products
  • Design and implement test protocols for mechanical test scenarios.
  • Identify and classify material properties that reveal performance characteristics and areas for improvement
  • Generate detailed test reports to capture overall material performance and reliability metrics
 
Data Collection & Analysis
  • Design, execute, and manage mechanical testing protocols that capture material behavior under real-world conditions
  • Collect, organize, and validate datasets
  • Analyze collected mechanical test data to surface patterns, anomalies, and performance insights
  • Create detailed documentation and reports that translate technical findings
 
Sample Preparation & Testing Operations
  • Sample Management
  • Prepare test samples according to established protocols and quality standards
  • Document sample preparation methodologies for reproducibility and team knowledge-sharing
 
Communication & Collaboration
  • Collaborate with development teams to refine testing approaches and material specifications
  • Communicate findings clearly—both technical results and their implications for product performance
  • Contribute to test plan design and documentation that ensure product quality standards
  • Deliver accurate and timely results with exceptional attention to detail
 
Education
  • BS in Mechanical Engineering or related field
 
Required Experience
  • Minimum 1 year of proven experience with mechanical testing and reliability testing
  • Hands-on experience with material characterization equipment and stress-strain testing (Instron tensile, electropulse, … )
  • Preferably experienced with thin layer materials testing
  • Meticulous attention to detail with excellent written and verbal communication
  • Ability to travel between Client locations (Santa Clara Valley) as required.
 
Helpful/Useful Experience
