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.
