Job Description:
The Battery Testing Technician in Wellington focuses on evaluating the performance and condition of various battery types used in industrial, commercial, and energy storage settings. The role involves systematic testing of battery cells and modules for voltage stability, capacity, charge/discharge cycles, thermal response, and internal resistance. Technicians utilize diagnostic software, automated testing rigs, and safety enclosures to assess battery function under different load conditions. Responsibilities include preparing test setups, recording data, analyzing test results, and reporting performance trends to engineering or quality assurance teams. The technician may also support research and development initiatives by assisting with experimental trials and prototype evaluations. Routine calibration of instruments, maintenance of test equipment, and adherence to safety protocols are integral to the position. The role may require collaboration with product development, field service teams, and battery designers. Working within lab environments, attention to process and documentation accuracy is paramount.
Job Requirement:
Candidates should possess a diploma in electronics, electrical engineering, or battery systems. A minimum of 2–3 years of experience in battery testing or laboratory-based diagnostics is required. Proficiency in using digital analyzers, battery test equipment, thermal imaging tools, and data logging software is essential. Familiarity with battery chemistries (lithium-ion, lead-acid, NiMH) and understanding of electrical safety protocols is mandatory. Strong analytical skills, precision in documentation, and the ability to work in a regulated lab environment are expected. A high level of discipline, willingness to follow procedures, and effective communication with engineering teams are key assets for success in this role.
