LabVIEW Test Automation Engineer – Battery Systems
Job Title: LabVIEW Engineer. Job-Type: Full-Time. Location: Milwaukee, WI (on-site). This role focuses on developing, implementing, and maintaining test systems and automation using LabVIEW for battery/energy storage systems and related automotive components. You will work with multi-disciplinary teams to ensure product quality, reliability, safety, and regulatory compliance.
Responsibilities
Design, build, and maintain automated test systems and rigs using LabVIEW (National Instruments) for hardware such as battery modules, battery management systems (BMS), power electronics, or related components.
Develop test procedures, test scripts, and automation code to execute functional, performance, environmental, durability, or safety tests.
Integrate test systems with data acquisition (DAQ) hardware, sensors, relays, power supplies, thermal chambers, and related equipment.
Troubleshoot, debug, and calibrate hardware and software in test setups.
Maintain and document all test systems: software design, hardware interface, calibration, version control.
Analyze test results, log defects, provide feedback to design teams, and assist in root-cause analysis when tests fail.
Work with systems/test validation teams to define test plans, validation protocols, and verification documentation.
Ensure tests and systems comply with regulatory, safety, and automotive OEM requirements.
Assist R&D and production teams in validating new designs and design changes.
Continuously improve the automation framework, test coverage, and test efficiency.
Qualifications / Skills
Education: Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.
Experience: 3–7+ years in test engineering or automation; prior experience with LabVIEW is essential.
Strong programming/scripting skills (LabVIEW; Python or C are a plus).
Familiarity with hardware interfacing: DAQ cards, signal conditioning, sensors, relays, etc.
Understanding of test instrumentation: oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, environmental chambers.
Ability to read electrical/mechanical schematics; understanding of controls, measurement, and signal types.
Strong debugging and problem-solving abilities.
Experience with test documentation, version control, and quality systems.
Experience in automotive or battery/energy storage industries is a plus.
Knowledge of regulatory requirements (e.g., safety, EMC) or OEM test standards.
Familiarity with Battery Management Systems (BMS) and related hardware.
Experience with data acquisition and logging, data analytics of test data.
Experience integrating mechanical and environmental aspects (temperature cycling, vibration, etc.).
Ability to work cross-functionally with mechanical, electrical, and software teams.
On-site work in Milwaukee, WI, in labs/test facilities.
Collaborative work with R&D, product validation, manufacturing, and quality assurance.
Ability to manage multiple test systems and priorities, with potential fast-turnaround projects.
