Summary
Joshua Arndt is a Principal Electrical Engineer specializing in test and validation with 11 years of hands-on experience across automotive, national lab, and research environments. He has led end-to-end remanufacturing and EOL/SOH battery test programs at Rivian that recovered $14M in warranty costs, tripled line throughput, and raised first-pass yields by over 40% through test automation and process optimization. Comfortable commissioning complex HV systems, he has specified and procured capital power electronics, written control software in Python/Enerchron, and acted as AHJ deputy for high-voltage and hazardous-area installations. At Raytheon and Lawrence Livermore he coordinated multidisciplinary teams to deliver auditable, standards-driven projects and safety-critical approvals. A hands-on mentor who values effective leadership, he pairs deep practical skills with clear documentation and operator training to make sophisticated test systems usable and repeatable. He’s equally at home troubleshooting fielded radar and ASE systems as he is building automated battery test cells, reflecting a broad, durability-focused engineering pedigree.
