About Moment Energy
Independent energy is here. Help us deploy it.
Energy should be free. Free from aging grids, fragile supply chains, and unnecessary extraction. At Moment Energy, we’re building a world where clean power is abundant, affordable, and uninterrupted for everyone.
The world doesn’t need another promise about energy; it needs proof that a freer future is possible. Moment Energy is the pragmatic liberator of power, the only company certified to turn the largest untapped energy supply into independent energy.
Now is the moment. While the industry scraps millions of batteries with decades of life left, we put them to work by repurposing large-format batteries into advanced battery energy storage systems that deliver real-world impact.
We were told second-life batteries would never be safe enough or scalable enough. We didn’t argue, we engineered the solution. Today, Moment Energy delivers 5x the energy density and holds the certifications required to deploy energy independence at scale.
Now is the moment. Join us.
The Opportunity
Moment Energy is seeking a Senior R&D Test Technician to lead complex validation testing and laboratory operations. As our most senior R&D technician, you'll support advanced testing of battery energy storage systems, including high-voltage battery testing, thermal runaway testing, and power electronics validation.
Working with minimal supervision, you'll partner with Senior Validation & Verification (V&V) Engineers to design test setups, establish safety boundaries, and develop data collection systems for new test protocols. You'll also serve as a technical resource within the R&D lab by mentoring junior technicians and supporting safe, efficient, and high-quality laboratory operations.
Responsibilities and Duties
- Partner with Senior Validation & Verification (V&V) Engineers to design, build, and troubleshoot complex test rigs, including Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) systems, high-power battery cycler platforms, and dynamometers (dynos).
- Safely execute high-risk tests, including short-circuit, overcharge, and mechanical abuse testing, while following established safety procedures, emergency protocols, and Arc Flash PPE requirements.
- Perform failure analysis on prototypes and isolate component-level failures involving PCBs, Battery Management Systems (BMS), and battery modules.
- Review raw test data, identify sensor errors and anomalies, and prepare technical summaries to support engineering design decisions.
- Maintain laboratory calibration records, manage sensor inventory, and mentor Level 1 and Level 2 technicians on laboratory safety and best practices.
The Candidate
We’re looking for individuals with the following traits, skills, and experiences:
- Completed a 3-year Advanced College Diploma in Mechatronics, Electronics, or Mechanical Engineering Technology, or a Bachelor's Degree in Electrical or Mechanical Engineering with 3+ years of dedicated hands-on laboratory or testing experience.
- 5+ years of experience working in an R&D test lab, power electronics testing facility, EV testing environment, advanced aerospace or defense validation lab, or a similar product development environment.
- Experience designing, building, commissioning, and troubleshooting complex engineering test setups and validation equipment.
- Advanced troubleshooting skills involving embedded systems, including CAN bus, Modbus, and Ethernet communication.
- Strong understanding of high-power and high-voltage electrical safety practices, including CSA Z462 and NFPA 70E.
- Proficiency with system automation tools and advanced laboratory instrumentation.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and technical documentation skills, with the ability to interpret complex engineering test data.
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to mentor junior technicians and work effectively within multidisciplinary engineering teams.
Nice-to-Have Experience:
- Experience working with lithium-ion battery systems, battery energy storage systems (BESS), or renewable energy technologies.
- Experience supporting Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) systems, battery cycler platforms, or advanced power electronics validation.
- Familiarity with environmental chambers, vibration testing, or other environmental qualification methods.
- Experience supporting prototype development, engineering validation, or new product introduction (NPI).
- Experience developing laboratory procedures, test standards, or continuous improvement initiatives.
Why join us?
