Engineering Technician

Overview

Engineering Technicians at Lithos are the hands and problem solvers that help the engineering department execute on a daily basis, working cross functionally with ME and EE design engineers to test and validate both new and existing Lithos products. Engineering Technicians are a key factor to the success at Lithos and relied upon for executing creation of SOP’s, assembling new prototypes, test fixtures, test reports, as well as all levels of test execution for cell, module, and pack level.

Engineering Technicians at Lithos will be cross trained in all functional areas of battery testing and will have the opportunity to learn and grow as Lithos expands our internal testing capabilities.
