The Senior Battery Technician will serve as a key contributor to the day-to-day operation of the battery test laboratory. This role is responsible for coordinating battery test execution, conducting measurements, managing tester utilization, maintaining accurate tracking of cells and test resources, and ensuring efficient movement of cells through the testing workflow.

The ideal candidate is highly organized, works independently, and excels at managing laboratory operations in a fast-paced production environment. While engineers will provide technical direction, test plans, and failure assessments, this role will own operational execution and provide clear visibility into test status, channel availability, and laboratory readiness.

Please note: This is a hands-on, on-site role.
