Overview As a Hardware Test Engineer at Copper, you’ll play a key role in developing our cutting-edge, energy-storage-equipped appliances - like the Charlie stove - that are designed to make the switch from fossil fuels a no-brainer. You’ll join a small, passionate, cross-functional team of engineers working to bring smarter, safer cooking into more homes. In this hands-on role, you’ll support the hardware team with board bring-up, evaluations, and tests at the component, board, and system levels. You’ll design and build electromechanical test rigs for reliability, certification, and manufacturing, and work closely with hardware and embedded software engineers to develop validation test plans, procedures, and reports. You’ll also assemble and wire up test setups, inspect and troubleshoot PCBAs and electronic components, and help root-cause failures to drive product improvements. Along the way, you’ll help define test processes, build custom equipment, write clear documentation, and maybe even contribute a recipe or two.

Our mission is to make decarbonization accessible to everyone by selling electric home appliances that enrich their daily lives. We're reducing the cost of electrification by integrating batteries into household appliances, starting with the stove. Our work has been funded by the Department of Energy, in an effort to reduce reliance on fossil fuels and increase energy resilience with products that are high-performance, safe, intuitive, and robust. As we build our team and pursue our mission, we do it with a strong sense of our core values because it's not just what you do, it's how you do it. You'll see this in high-level decisions, how we run meetings, our day-to-day work, hiring, and our interactions with customers and the broader community. We intend to have a massive impact on our team, our neighborhood, and the world.&nbsp;

We are a team of entrepreneurs, inventors, and activists who are committed to mitigating climate change. We know there are great technologies, like induction stoves and heat pumps, which can immediately make people's lives better, while also making a big difference on climate change. So we created Channing St. Copper Co. to get these technologies in more homes as quickly as possible.
