Role: Hardware Test Engineer – Battery & Charger Validation

Department: New Product Development Location: Bengaluru, India Experience: 2-5 Years

Your Team:

You'll be working with Recent Product Development — a group that runs on coffee and an infectious passion for building products that have never been built before. Our Flexible Energy Stack consists of the e^pack (battery pack) and e^pump (charging station), which unlock 15-minute rapid charging.

Our philosophy:

Break. Believe. Build.

Break stuff, break assumptions, break the thumb rule.

Believe in the team, the process, and through failures.

Build fast, build passionately, build to simplify.

Own it like you mean it.

What you’ll own:

We are looking for a hands-on Hardware Test Engineer with real EV battery and charger testing experience to plan, execute and report validation tests in our lab. This role is built for someone early in their career who has already worked on EV hardware and wants to grow into ownership of test programs – not for a fresher, and not for a senior engineer looking for a lead role.





What you’ll do:
- Execute DVP&R; tests on battery packs, modules, BMS hardware and DC/AC chargers as per test plans and standards (AIS-156, AIS-038 Rev 2, IS 17017, IEC 61851/62196 as applicable).
- Set up and operate lab equipment: battery cyclers, DC sources/e-loads, power analysers, DAQ, thermal chambers, insulation/hipot testers, oscilloscopes and CAN tools.
- Perform electrical, functional, performance and safety tests – capacity, efficiency, charge/discharge profiles, insulation resistance, dielectric withstand, thermal behaviour, protection and fault response.
- Support environmental and mechanical tests (thermal cycling, humidity, IP ingress, vibration, shock) and coordinate with external labs (ARAI, ICAT, NABL labs) during certification testing.
- Build and maintain test fixtures, harnesses and set-ups; follow lab safety (HV, LOTO, precautions and general discipline).
- Log, analyse and report te
