About Lunar Energy

Lunar Energy's mission is to transition homes to 100% clean energy. Founded in 2020, Lunar Energy is designing and engineering the world’s best clean energy products to electrify all homes and connect communities to form clean, resilient virtual power plants. Backed by Prelude Ventures.

About the role

Hardware Test Engineers at Lunar Energy play a critical role in helping our engineering team decide whether our home energy products are ready to ship, and own the evidence behind that call. You'll design and automate the test stands that collect critical product performance data and analyze that data to work out the “so what.” An ideal candidate is curious, hands-on, and comfortable working across electrical, mechanical, thermal, and software disciplines. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, or engineering physics required, mechatronics/robotics concentration is a plus
  • Strong sense of curiosity and ownership, ability to work in a dynamic and fast paced environment
  • Strong engineering fundamentals in one or more of the following disciplines: electronics/circuit analysis, heat and mass transfer, and statics/mechanics of materials
  • Experience with electrical test equipment (power supplies, data acquisition systems) and standard diagnostic tools (multimeters, oscilloscopes) required
  • Python or equivalent programming experience required, experience with object-oriented programming, state machines, and test automation is a plus
  • Basic mechanical design or CAD experience is a plus
