This position is full time, permanent.

Specific Duties:

• Lead hardware verification and validation for battery charging and power conversion products throughout the product development lifecycle.
• Develop and execute verification plans, test procedures, and release test strategies to confirm product requirements are met.
• Perform EVT, DVT, PVT, characterization, and production release testing.
• Test and characterize AC-DC and DC-DC power conversion systems, battery charging functions, control systems, protection features, and overall product performance.
• Conduct electrical, thermal, functional, and performance testing across operating conditions.
• Analyze test data to identify design issues, performance limitations, measurement errors, and product risks.
• Participate in design reviews, DFMEA activities, and technical risk assessments.
• Support product safety, EMC, environmental, and regulatory compliance testing.
• Design, build, maintain, and improve test setups and laboratory equipment.
• Safely test energized power electronic systems, including open-frame products operating up to 1,000 VDC and 22 kW.
• Lead or support root-cause investigations with engineering teams to resolve hardware, firmware, control, and system integration issues.
• Prepare technical reports, test summaries, conclusions, and recommendations for engineering and management review.
• Support continuous improvement of verification methods, lab processes, test automation, and engineering best practices.
• Other duties as required.

Requirements

• Education in Electrical, Electronics, Mechatronics Engineering, or related field.
• 5+ years of engineering experience, including 3+ years in power electronics testing, validation, or product development.
• Strong knowledge of AC-DC/DC-DC converters, battery charging systems, controls, thermal management, and power electronics.
• Experience with MOSFETs, IGBTs, SiC, and GaN devices.
• Strong troubleshooting skills with analog, digital, mixed-signal, and power circuits.
• Ability to read schematics, PCB layouts, drawings, and technical specifications.
• Hands-on experience with high-voltage/high-power lab testing and safety practices.
• Skilled in advanced electrical measurement techniques and identifying measurement artifacts.
• Hands-on electronics skills, including soldering, debugging, rework, and board-level troubleshooting.
• Experience with EVs, energy storage, industrial electrification, or battery charging products is preferred.
• Familiarity with Python, LabVIEW, TestStand, MATLAB, or similar tools is an asset.
• Strong analytical and communication skills.
• Consistently exhibit and model Delta Q values (Collaboration, Perseverance, Innovation, Driving Results).
