About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Power Electronics, or a related field.
  • Three or more years of experience in power electronics development and validation is preferred.
  • Hands-on experience with hardware validation, including bench build-up and instrumentation.
  • Familiarity with laboratory equipment such as force gauges, thermocouples, power supplies, multimeters, hi-pot testers, oscilloscopes, electronic loads, and data acquisition systems.
  • Exposure to DVP&R creation and requirements-based validation planning.
  • Knowledge of automotive and industrial environmental reliability requirements, including GMW, ISO, and IEC standards.
  • Working knowledge of high-voltage safety practices and laboratory safety procedures.
  • Technical writing and communication skills sufficient to convey complex concepts clearly.

Responsibilities

  • Execute component- and system-level validation for power electronics products, including on-board chargers, DC-DC converters, inverters, and related high-voltage assemblies, to confirm products meet internal requirements, industry standards, and real-world use conditions.
  • Support development, execution, and maintenance of DVP&Rs by drafting validation cases from requirements, tracking status and coverage, logging results, and reporting pass/fail against acceptance criteria.
  • Review electrical and mechanical schematics and create validation cell layouts for instrumentation, low-voltage, and high-voltage circuitry.
  • Build, wire, and commission validation benches, including jigs and fixtures, instrumentation, harnessing, and data acquisition systems for performance and reliability evaluation.
  • Contribute to defining system-level validation setups, including load and mission profiles, thermal and environmental conditioning, and high-voltage/low-voltage interface configurations, in collaboration with the lead validation engineer.
  • Perform hands-on validation and troubleshooting using laboratory equipment, including battery simulators, power supplies, electronic loads, oscilloscopes, current probes, power analyzers, thermal chambers, and data acquisition systems.
  • Document validation failures and anomalies, capture supporting data, and escalate findings with clear technical summaries.
  • Process and analyze validation data, generate plots and summary metrics, and author clear, well-organized validation reports.
  • Maintain laboratory equipment, calibration records, validation documentation, and safe high-voltage laboratory practices.
  • Collaborate with design, systems, quality, and manufacturing teams to support issue resolution and design iterations.

Desired Qualifications

  • Experience with validation automation and data analysis using Python, LabVIEW, MATLAB, or equivalent tools.
  • Experience with CAN communication and vehicle- or bench-level diagnostic tools.
  • Experience validating high-voltage automotive power conversion hardware in a laboratory or vehicle environment.
