Job Level
About the role
- 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.
