* Follow detailed lab safety practices, especially around high-voltage and power-related test setups.
* Conduct repeatable, precise test procedures for power modules, converters, and energy storage systems.
* Run structural and performance evaluations based on engineering specs and test outlines.
* Assemble and service custom test setups, adapting hardware and instrumentation as needed.
* Operate lab instruments such as AC/DC power sources, grid simulation hardware, oscilloscopes, and probes.
* Maintain the lab workspace, manage tool calibration, and uphold compliance protocols.
* Assist in the development of automation scripts or test flows, partnering with system-level engineers.
* Coordinate closely with hardware teams to align on new test methodologies or review results.
* Document system setups, test procedures, and results in a structured and traceable format.
Required:
* Bachelor's degree in electrical or electronics engineering, or equivalent practical experience.
* At least 5 years of relevant experience in high-power hardware environments, ideally focused on validation or systems test.
* Familiarity with test equipment for power electronics and hardware debugging.
* Competence in scripting for automation or data logging, preferably using Python.
* Understanding of schematics, part documentation, and electrical interfaces.
* Proficiency in using AC line simulators and DC electronic loads for testing.
* Hands-on experience with the testing and validation of electronic converters and inverters.
* A solid understanding of battery technology including testing and integration of power conversion systems.
Pluses:
* Proficiency with power measurement systems and test practices for high-current/high-voltage devices.
* Strong communication and analytical skills to interpret results and advise on fixes.
* Familiarity with energy storage components (e.g., battery packs) and failure scenarios.
* Exposure to scripting workflows used in validation labs for automation or measurement capture.
* Knowledge of power architecture for computer systems or data centers is a plus.
