Summary

The Lead Engineer - Test Development designs, develops and implements automatic test equipment and test programs for product testing and design verification which ensure robust and high quality assembled products in manufacturing. As a Test Engineer on our growing team, you will be the technical lead for de-risking high-cost product development phases (EVT and DVT). This is a high-impact, internal-facing role where you will take full ownership of measurement quality for cutting-edge power technologies. You will bridge the gap between design and manufacturing by developing robust test plans and automated logging systems, freeing design engineers to focus on next-generation architecture.

• 
  Lead the testing and validation of power electronics through EVT/DVT phases, owning the full test plan generation and validation strategy.
  
• 
  Master the use of oscilloscopes and precision equipment to measure subtle signals and nanovolt-level noise in high-power environments (up to several kilowatts).
  
• 
  Design and develop integrated test solutions (hardware and software) including high-level architecture, system integration, qualification, and installation.
  
• 
  Build and maintain automated test scripts using Python and Linux to remotely configure test equipment, microcontrollers, and CPUs.
  
• 
  Establish a rigorous culture of data organization and indexing for historical test results to enable rapid debugging.
  
• 
  Manage measurement integrity by identifying if issues stem from design flaws, parasitic interference, grounding loops, or soldering quality.
  
• 
  Develop technical proposals, cost BOMs, and hour estimates based on customer requirements and design specifications.
  
• 
  Drive alignment in internal meetings with Program Managers (EPMs) and act as the primary technical contact for power vendors.
  
• 
  Provide technical leadership and program management for smaller projects, including coordinating and reviewing the work of other engineers.

  Review and interpret customer documentation and conduct research/experiments with minimal direction.
  
• 
  Execute all validation and qualification requirements using statistical and common industry methods.
  
• 
  Stabilize and optimize test solutions for manufacturing, focusing on cycle time, yield, and collaboration with process teams.
  
• 
  Provide feedback to product design teams regarding testability (DFT), coverage, diagnosability, reparability, and firmware/diagnostics.
  
• 
  Keep up to date with relevant industry knowledge, trends, and regulations.
  

Knowledge/Skills/Competencies

• 
  Experience in power validation for semiconductor or high-tech system
  
• 
  Familiarity with structural and functional testing for high-density power modules.
  
• 
  A "detective" mindset: An obsession with data organization and the ability to find "needles in haystacks" during urgent debug cycles.
  
• 
  experience with Python for test automation and comfort working within a Linux environment.
  
• 
  Proficiency with Oscilloscopes, LabView, and basic soldering for hardware troubleshooting.
