Description

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 Role We are seeking a highly capable and hands-on R&D Technologist to support the development of next-generation Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESS). In this role, you will play a key part in designing, building, and validating electrical prototypes and test systems that accelerate product development. Working closely with the Electrical Engineering team, you will contribute to the development of prototype hardware, experimental test setups, and validation processes. You will help bridge the gap between engineering design and practical implementation by translating engineering concepts into functional prototypes and reliable testing environments. This is an ideal opportunity for a technically strong problem-solver who enjoys both hands-on development and experimental testing in a fast-paced cleantech startup environment. Responsibilities and Duties Prototype Development & Integration Build and integrate electrical prototypes, subsystems, and test fixtures for new BESS and electronics development. Collaborate with electrical and mechanical engineers to translate design concepts into functional hardware prototypes. Perform advanced PCB assembly, rework, and troubleshooting of prototype electronics. Design, build, and validate custom electrical wiring harnesses and cable assemblies for prototype and testing systems. Testing & Validation Develop and execute electrical and functional test procedures for prototype hardware and subsystems. Configure and operate lab test equipment such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, electronic loads, and data acquisition systems. Collect, analyze, and document test results to support engineering design decisions and product development. Assist engineers in troubleshooting electrical issues during development and testing. Lab & Process Development Help design and improve lab test setups, fixtures, and experimental infrastructure. Maintain organization, safety, and operational readiness of the R&D electrical lab. Develop and maintain technical documentation including test procedures, assembly guides, and lab SOPs. Support continuous improvement of prototyping and testing workflows. Collaboration Work cross-functionally with electrical, mechanical, and systems engineers during product development cycles. Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior technicians during prototype builds and testing activities. The Candidate We’re looking for individuals with the following traits, skills, and experiences: 5+ years of experience in electronics development, R&D prototyping, or advanced electronics technician roles. Strong hands-on experience assembling, modifying, and troubleshooting electronic systems and PCBs. Demonstrated ability to design and build electrical prototypes, test setups, and experimental hardware. Experience interpreting electrical schematics, PCB layouts, and engineering drawings. Strong troubleshooting and problem-solving skills for complex electrical systems. Experience operating electrical lab equipment such as oscilloscopes, electronic loads, power supplies, and data acquisition tools. Ability to document technical procedures, test results, and prototype builds clearly. Comfortable working in a fast-paced, iterative R&D environment. Nice-to-Have Experience: Experience with BESS or lithium-ion battery applications. Experience operating and maintaining power test equipment (e.g., power supplies, electronic loads, oscilloscopes, DMMs). Experience working in a fast-paced startup environment. Why join us? Today, we’re delivering 5x the energy density and have all the certifications needed to ship energy independence to the world. Be part of a mission-driven company focused on creating sustainable energy solutions and making a positive impact on the world. Collaborate closely with passionate co-founders and a team committed to innovation and excellence. Contribute to building and scaling a company from the ground up, where your work will have a direct and meaningful impact. Thrive in a workplace that values collaboration, wellness, and celebrating successes, with regular company socials, fitness sessions, and more. We're a fast-paced and dynamic team. Every day you'll be taking on a new challenge and learning something new. You'll take on a wide breadth of tasks and contribute to disrupting the battery industry. You'll be part of a tight-knit team that is working together to save the planet! Fun, health, and wellness are incorporated into our daily schedule and we encourage all our team members to bring innovative ideas to the table to create an interactive workplace.
