  • Conduct comprehensive regression testing to ensure that new iterations of the product meet the same standards of performance and reliability as previous versions.

  • Define a manufacturing test specification for volume production.

  • Innovate test system design to meet accuracy, cycle time, cost, and other performance factors.

  • Collaborate closely with hardware design and firmware teams to understand the product and its functionalities. Investigate root causes of failures and drive product improvements.

  • Participate hands-on during test hardware bring-up, system debugging, and help with software optimization.

  • Incorporate design techniques to achieve ease of validation and maintenance.

  • Challenge ideas and decisions with reasoning from first principles.

  • Travel to different facilities worldwide to collaborate with teams and deploy our solutions.

Qualifications:

  • BS or MS in Electrical or Computer Engineering.

  • 8+ years of hands-on experience in test engineering, preferably in power electronics.

  • Strong understanding of power electronics principles, including high-voltage, high-current systems, and power conversion technologies.

  • Solid experience with PCBA schematics and debugging hardware components.

  • Familiarity with using oscilloscopes, multimeters, power analyzers, and other test equipment.

  • Experience using system-level languages (such as Golang, Rust, C, C++, etc.) to automate systems.

  • Be engaged, proactive, and positive when taking on challenging tasks, owning assignments, and taking accountability for personal and overall team success.
