About the Job

Requirements

  • A bachelor's degree or higher in electrical engineering, power electronics, automation, electromechanical integration, or a related engineering field; a power electronics background is preferred.
  • At least 10 years of experience in repair, hardware debugging, or research and development for power electronics products such as UPS, energy storage PCS, inverters, or industrial power supplies.
  • At least 5 years of experience managing repair and after-sales testing teams.
  • Knowledge of industrial power electronics product hardware architecture, including switching power supplies, boost/inverter circuits, filter circuits, sampling control boards, power modules, and communication units, and proficiency in the coordinated operation of whole-machine software and hardware.
  • Expertise in whole-machine fault localization, circuit debugging, and performance calibration, including independently inspecting, repairing, calibrating, and technically optimizing complex power electronics equipment and analyzing intermittent or difficult faults.
  • Proficiency with oscilloscopes, electronic loads, power quality analyzers, insulation testers, thermal imaging cameras, and other professional testing equipment, and ability to analyze waveforms, electrical and circuit parameters, and equipment alarm logs.
  • Knowledge of host-computer logs and firmware alarm information, and ability to distinguish hardware damage, equipment parameter configuration errors, software bugs, and communication abnormalities.
  • Strong safety and risk awareness, with capability in safety and cost control and a customer-service mindset.
  • Ability to document technical knowledge, develop employees, and coordinate urgent orders, batch failures, and customer complaints under pressure.

Responsibilities

  • Implement workplace safety responsibilities, identify fire, machinery, electrical, and hazardous-chemical risks, organize safety training, prevent work-related injuries, and meet environmental requirements.
  • Ensure repair-center operations comply with Schneider Electric policies and procedures.
  • Establish a performance evaluation and follow-up system covering first-time repair rate, on-time delivery, cost losses, and corrective-action closure.
  • Build employee skills and team capability through skills certification matrices, training on typical faults, repair processes, testing requirements, and model differences, and reviews of difficult cases.
  • Coordinate incoming demand with repair-center resources, plan staffing, equipment, space, and repair capacity, and allocate resources to meet work-order delivery targets and improve service profitability and customer satisfaction.
  • Control material loss, utilities consumption, repair costs, and labor waste; lead Lean, 5S, and Kaizen continuous-improvement projects to reduce consumables, improve efficiency, and shorten repair cycles.
  • Establish controls for repair processes and quality, lead defect reviews and internal corrective actions for customer complaints, and improve first-time repair performance while preventing recurring faults.
  • Implement full work-order-system coverage and record receipt time, fault diagnosis, repair hours, replacement materials, test results, dispatch time, and repair history.
  • Monitor turnaround time, first-time repair rate, repeat-repair rate, repair cost per unit, and on-time work-order rate; issue regular operational reports and summarize leading faults for product teams to support product quality improvements.
  • Establish routine equipment maintenance and preventive repair systems, implement 5S/6S workplace organization, and standardize workstation and material layout.
  • Develop dedicated test benches, load equipment, and inspection instruments, and establish laboratory-level testing capability for in-depth failure analysis.
  • Build a repair knowledge base, repair case library, and standard operating procedures for equipment to support consistent work, explain difficult issues, accelerate onboarding, and reduce reliance on individual experienced employees.
  • Manage firmware and hardware version archives to prevent using mismatched programs or parts during repairs.
  • Establish review meetings for difficult work orders, coordinate investigation of uncommon complex failures, and produce standard solutions.
  • Lead diagnosis, technical resolution, and repair implementation for complex power electronics equipment and software/hardware faults; lead root-cause analysis and develop corrective solutions with the team.
  • Work with research and development and engineering teams to investigate and implement new technologies and processes, continuously improving power electronics repair processes.
  • Document software, firmware, and circuit-debugging repair knowledge to improve the team's technical service capabilities.
  • Design, develop, implement, and iteratively improve repair tooling, test fixtures, inspection equipment, and automated repair-assistance equipment.
  • Advance repair automation, standardization, and digitalization; improve equipment workflows and tooling compatibility to increase efficiency, consistency, and repair quality.
  • Lead development and revision of repair standard operating procedures, testing specifications, inspection standards, and fault-diagnosis guides, and identify and close process gaps.
  • Lead development of a new on-site and repair-center maintenance service system, including solution design, tool development, and supply-chain setup.

Desired Qualifications

  • A power electronics educational background is preferred.
