Job Description
===================
Roles &
Responsibilities
Test Planning & Execution
- Independently plan, develop, and execute test programs for hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) simulation testing, component validation, and full prototype system testing of grid-scale inverters, battery energy storage systems, and similar power conversion equipment
- Define test objectives, acceptance criteria, and test sequences aligned with product
requirements
and applicable standards
- Set up and configure HIL simulation environments; interface with real-time simulation platforms (e.g., RTDS, OPAL-RT, Typhoon HIL) to model grid and system behavior
- Conduct electrical, mechanical, and functional testing of power conversion hardware including inverters, converters, and battery management systems
- Operate high-power test equipment including power supplies, electronic loads, oscilloscopes, data acquisition systems, and grid simulators
- Execute testing from bench-level component validation through full system integration and prototype testing
- Ensure all test activities comply with applicable safety standards, internal procedures, and regulatory
requirements
Analysis & Reporting
- Analyze test data to assess product performance against design
requirements
and specifications; identify anomalies, failure modes, and root causes
- Apply engineering judgment to interpret results and make recommendations with minimal supervision
- Prepare clear, thorough test reports, data summaries, and technical documentation for use by design engineers, program managers, and customers
- Maintain accurate test records, calibration logs, and equipment maintenance documentation
- Contribute to design reviews by presenting test findings and supporting data-driven engineering decisions
Collaboration & Cross-Functional Engagement
- Work closely with design engineers, systems engineers, and manufacturing teams to align test activities with product development milestones
- Collaborate with controls and software teams to validate control algorithms and protection schemes within HIL environments
- Participate on cross-functional horizontal teams; accountable for the quality and timeliness of your own deliverables
- Communicate test status, risks, and issues proactively to program leadership and stakeholders
- Support customer-witnessed testing and factory acceptance testing (FAT) activities as required
Problem Solving & Engineering Judgment
- Independently diagnose and resolve test-related technical issues; apply systematic troubleshooting methods to hardware and simulation problems
- Identify test infrastructure gaps and propose improvements to test rigs, tooling, and processes
