Energy Resourcing are currently working with one of the worlds leading new energy companies specifically working on the construction, engineering and development of a state of the art facility.
This project would be based in Northern Europe in a unique location and provides an exciting opportunity to be an integral part of the new energy transformation in Europe.
The company itself provides a forward thinking environment allowing you to bring your own thoughts/ideas on how to positively affect the work done.
Key responsibilities include but are not limited to:* Planning and conducting Thermal Runaway tests including Test Method development Supporting Builds, Instrumentation, Discussions with Test Facilities and travelling to sites to conduct tests.* Conduct propagation resistance testing (force thermal runaway of cells in a module/pack)* Be a trusted source for effective and accurate root cause analysis of product failure modes* Work closely in lab with technicians to fabricate, install, and validate new test equipment as well as repair and debug issues with existing equipment.* Characterise variation in results from existing test rigs.* Write and maintain standard operating procedures for test equipment. Train technicians on new equipment and incorporate user feedback (design for usability, safety, ergonomics).* Participate in sourcing and managing of test equipment* In addition to established tests, modify copies of test rigs for experimental development.
Experience description
Experienced in Planning and Conducting Tests
Experience with electrical cycling of battery packs and systems - Performance testing.
- Defining test sequence and documents
- Working with internal and external test facilities to set up the test i.e instrumentation debugging issues etc
- Producing internal test reports summarising performance data (Capacity, DCIR, SOH etc
