• Conduct hands-on testing using laboratory equipment to validate, characterise, or troubleshoot our hardware products.
• Create and maintain test documentation including test plans, test procedures, test specifications, and detailed technical reports.
• Perform electrical safety, EMC, and compliance testing for high-voltage and high-power systems, ensuring alignment with relevant standards (LVD, EMC, grid connection codes, CE, UL) and preparing systems for external certification.
• Troubleshoot and diagnose hardware and system-level issues uncovered during testing, working closely with mechanical, embedded software, and systems engineers to identify root causes and support corrective actions.
• Occasionally support field testing and commissioning activities at customer, partner, or pilot sites, ensuring that systems operate safely and meet performance specifications in real-world grid environments.
• Lead and maintain high laboratory standards, including organisation, housekeeping, data management, inventory control, and equipment calibration, in collaboration with the leadership team, to uphold EHS compliance.
• Actively participate in design reviews and technical discussions across the multidisciplinary hardware team, providing test perspectives on design decisions, manufacturability, and validation feasibility.
• Develop and optimise test tooling and automation where appropriate to improve test efficiency, repeatability and coverage whilst maintaining rigor.
• Ensure test cases are developed based on project scope and design requirements, and maintain testing reports and evidence for quality and audit purposes.
• Champion continuous improvement in testing processes, suggesting enhancements to increase efficiency and effectiveness as our product portfolio scales.
