Job Description :
As a LabVIEW Engineer at Clarios, you will develop, implement, and maintain test systems and automation using LabVIEW, for battery / energy storage systems (or related automotive / battery management). You'll work with multi-disciplinary teams (electrical, mechanical, software, test, systems) to ensure product quality, reliability, safety, and compliance.
Key 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, etc.
- 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, improve test coverage, reduce test times, increase reliability.
Qualifications / Skills Required
Education : Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or related field.Experience : Probably 3-7+ years working in test engineering or automation. Prior experience with LabVIEW is essential.Strong programming / scripting skills (LabVIEW, possibly others : Python, C, etc.).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, signal types.Good debugging & problem solving skills.Experience in test documentation, version control, quality systems.Experience in automotive or battery / energy storage industry a plus.Desired / Nice-to-Have Skills
Experience with LabVIEW automated test systems in automotive / battery / energy storage systems.Knowledge of regulatory requirements (e.g. safety, EMC) or OEM test standards.Familiarity with Battery Management Systems (BMS) and associated hardware.Experience with data acquisition & logging, database + data analytics of test data.Experience integrating mechanical and environmental aspects (temperature cycling, vibration, etc.).Ability to work cross-functionally (mechanical, electrical, software).Working Environment / Context
On-site (Milwaukee, WI) work, likely in labs / test facility.Collaborate with R&D, product validation, manufacturing, quality assurance.Some projects may require fast turnaround; must manage multiple test systems and priorities.
