Role overview

Battery test technicians are the gate-keepers of every new pack design. You'll load packs into climatic chambers, hook them up to multi-channel cyclers (Arbin, Maccor or BaSyTec), schedule overnight runs, and review trended data the next morning with engineering. The mix is roughly 70% lab work and 30% data + reporting.

India has only a handful of accredited battery test labs — ARAI, ICAT, CSIR-CECRI and a few in-house OEM labs — so trained technicians are in chronic short supply.
