Test Automation Engineer

ph3Job Description /h3 pOur batteries fly. Every cell you characterize, every pack you validate, and every test you automate contributes to real-life battery systems. The data you generate helps us understand battery performance, improve our products, and make sure what we produce meets our standards. /p pTulip Tech designs and manufactures high-performance battery systems for drones and electric aircraft. We are now scaling from prototypes towards higher-volume production, which means our testing needs to scale with us. /p h3Why this role matters /h3 pAs production volumes increase and new production lines come online, we need to automate more of the testing process - from controlling test equipment and collecting measurements to storing, analysing, and visualising the data. You will help us build that automation. /p pThis is a hands-on engineering role where you will work at the intersection of battery testing, software, hardware and production. You will develop automated test solutions, integrate equipment and instruments, and make sure the data we generate is reliable and traceable. /p h3What you will own /h3 ul liDevelop and maintain automated battery tests for cells, modules and packs. /li liAutomate manual testing processes, from test execution and data collection to analysis and reporting. /li liIntegrate and control test equipment such as battery cyclers, power supplies, loads, DAQ systems and climate chambers. /li liWrite and maintain Python or LabVIEW software and work with protocols such as CAN, SCPI or Modbus. /li liDefine and implement tests for capacity, cycling, voltage, impedance testing, imbalance and other battery characteristics. /li liSupport end-of-line testing, including pass/fail limits, traceability and test cycle time. /li liBuild and maintain test data storage and pipelines, ensuring results can be linked to individual batteries and serial numbers. /li liAnalyse test results and improve test reliability, repeatability and throughput as production scales. /li liWork closely with hardware, production and engineering teams to turn testing needs into reliable automated solutions. /li /ul h3Job Requirements /h3 ul liBachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related technical field. /li li3+ years of experience in test automation, automated testing, production testing, laboratory automation or a similar engineering environment. /li liExperience working with test data and databases, including structuring, storing and retrieving data generated by automated tests. /li liStrong programming experience in Python or LabVIEW. /li liA good understanding of lithium-ion cells and battery packs - including capacity, voltage, internal resistance, state of charge/health, ageing and thermal effects. /li liExperience with battery testing, such as capacity testing, cycling, DCIR, OCV, resistance, voltage and imbalance measurements. /li liExperience integrating software with test instruments, measurement equipment or production machinery. /li liExperience with CAN, SCPI, Modbus or similar communication protocols. /li liGood technical problem-solving skills and the ability to turn a manual testing process into a reliable automated solution. /li liComfortable working hands-on with hardware, software and test equipment. /li liExperience scaling automated testing in a high-volume or ramping-up manufacturing environment. /li /ul h3Additional information /h3 ul liWorking language: English. Our team spans 10+ nationalities. /li liWork authorization: EU right to work required. /li liInterview process: Intro call with Recruiter → Technical interview day with Hiring Manager + team (60 + 45 min, on-site) → Offer. /li /ul h3What we offer /h3 ul liCompetitive salary between €3,400 – €4,800 gross per month (based on experience) /li li38 paid days off per year (25 vacation + 13 ADV via CAO Metaal Techniek) /li li8% holiday allowance, travel reimbursement, and pension via PMT /li liDaily lunch provided by the company /li liA startup culture with team outings and events /li liFreedom to shape your role and take real ownership /li /ul pReady to test something that flies? /p pNo recruitment agencies please. /p /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
