Job Description Summary

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
• Apply knowledge of electrical and mechanical engineering principles to evaluate test results within the broader product context
• Contribute to risk identification and mitigation planning for test programs

Continuous Improvement & Process Development

• Develop and refine test procedures, work instructions, and standard operating procedures to improve repeatability and efficiency
• Identify opportunities to automate test processes and data collection; implement improvements with appropriate oversight
• Actively seek and implement feedback from mentors and senior engineers to accelerate technical development
• Support the adoption of new test methodologies, tools, and technologies within the team
• Be an active contributor to a lean and continuous improvement culture within the test organization

Mentorship & Knowledge Sharing

• Share technical learnings and test insights with peers and junior team members
• Begin developing expertise in a specific domain (e.g., power electronics testing, battery system validation, HIL simulation) and serve as a growing resource for that area within the team
• Seek mentorship from Lead and Senior Engineers; implement feedback and apply it to improve performance and output quality

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field from an accredited college or university plus 1 to 3 years of relevant professional experience in test, validation, or product development engineering
• OR Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related field from an accredited college or university
• Must have the legal ability to work in the United States without sponsorship
