Key Responsibilities
- Perform pre-defined electrical testing of capacitors to support R&D projects and customer applications. Proactively communicate opportunities to enhance test protocols or instrumentation. Accurately document and report test results. Initial orientation and training will be provided by lab personnel; however, rapid independent learning is expected.
- Design/fabrication/assembly of test systems. Hands-on experience with hand tools and light-duty fabrication equipment is a plus. Soldering skills are a plus.
- Knowledge/experience with using software for circuit board layout/fabrication and creation of schematic diagrams a plus.
- Assemble laboratory instruments (power supplies, signal sources, meters/analyzers, etc.) to perform ad-hoc experiments per defined specifications. Write software routines to automate test sequences and record resulting data if required. Engineer an official test system to perform this testing if this it becomes necessary.
- Perform circuit modeling with LTspice or similar computer modeling tools.
- Knowledge/experience with Ansys Electronic Desktop (HFSS) for capacitor ESL and thermal modeling are a plus.
- Assist with acquisition of laboratory supplies as required.
- Bachelor's of Science degree in Electrical Engineering or Computer Engineering
