Eaton's ES AMER ESS division is currently seeking a Battery Systems Validation Engineering Technician. This role is based out of Raleigh, NC.
The Battery Systems Validation Engineering Technician II provides technical support for engineering teams developing and validating lithium-ion and lead-acid battery systems used with 3-phase UPS products. The role supports testing, troubleshooting, commissioning, and failure analysis while following Eaton safety requirements and approved energized-work procedures.
The expected annual salary range for this role is $56000 - $83000 a year.
Please note the salary information shown above is a general guideline only. Salaries are based upon candidate skills, experience, and qualifications, as well as market and business considerations.
What you'll do:
• Assemble, inspect, configure, and commission UPS battery cabinets, modules, busbars, fuses, breakers, communication harnesses, and monitoring components
• Execute charge/discharge, runtime, functional, thermal, communications, balancing, and commissioning tests
• Configure Battery Management Systems (BMS) and troubleshoot Modbus, CANBus, Ethernet, and RS-485 communications
• Use electrical test equipment and data-acquisition systems to record results and prepare test reports
• Troubleshoot battery modules, BMS components, controls, sensors, and UPS integration using schematics and wiring diagrams
• Perform authorized work on energized battery systems using required PPE, insulated tools, safe-work boundaries, and hazard controls; maintain an organized and safe test lab
Qualifications:
Required (Basic) Qualifications:
• Associate degree in Electrical/Electronics Engineering Technology, Mechatronics, Industrial Maintenance, or a related field from an accredited institution.
• Minimum three (3) years of experience with electrical power systems, batteries, UPS systems, industrial controls, or a related engineering/technical role.

• Knowledge of Battery Management Systems (BMS), battery monitoring, alarms, firmware, and system configuration.
• Experience with Modbus RTU/TCP, CANBus, Ethernet, or RS-485 communications.
• Experience performing battery charge/discharge, runtime, functional, thermal, fault-injection, or commissioning tests.
• Proficiency with digital multimeters, power analyzers, current probes, load banks, battery analyzers, and data-acquisition systems.
• Ability to read electrical schematics, single-line diagrams, wiring diagrams, and mechanical assembly drawings.
• NFPA 70E training and qualification as an electrical worker.
• Experience supporting engineering validation, UL/IEC product certification testing, or customer demonstrations.
• Strong electrical troubleshooting skills and experience supporting root-cause investigations and verification testing.
• Experience with battery cabinet assembly, pre-energization inspection, torque verification, and mechanical integration with UPS equipment.
• Safety-focused decision making and attention to detail when working around high-energy DC systems.
