Desirable

• The SPAN manufacturing team is made of experienced, passionate people with expertise in electronics, mechanisms, energy systems, new product introduction, and test automation
• As an electrical engineering co-op, you will apply your knowledge of electronics to assist SPAN's new product introduction, testing, and manufacturing efforts
• The engineering challenges we face at SPAN apply to various industries, with engineering challenges similar to climate tech, consumer electronics, and construction industries
• Compared to other climate tech companies, SPAN offers the ability to work on a project that is out of the “science phase” and in the engineering execution phase, so you will be working to deliver from prototype to product
• Work closely with hardware design engineers to develop electrical functional tests to help bring-up and debug prototype designs and systems
• Perform Design for Test and feedback those results to hardware design engineers to ensure our products can meet functional test requirements
• Create test specifications for circuit board assemblies, sub-system assemblies, and final assemblies
• Architecture test systems such as selecting appropriate fixture vendor for fabrication, and design the appropriate electronics necessary to meet test requirements
• Write the software necessary to control and automate the test equipment
• Write the software necessary to perform manufacturing tests per test requirements
• Integrate, checkout, and validate test equipment for transfer to manufacturing partners
• Produce all necessary technical documentation such as wiring diagrams and assembly drawings for those test systems to be released into our PLM system
• Have the opportunity to learn about and develop tests for printed circuit board assemblies with relay controls, power electronics & metering, mixed analog and digital design, sensors, and various communication protocols
• The co-op position has a duration of 6 months and will run from January- June 2025
