Responsibilities

  • Own and drive verification and validation strategy for power electronics products (on-board chargers, DC-DC converters, inverters, and related high voltage assemblies) from concept through production release.
  • Author, own, and drive DVP&Rs: derive test cases from system and component requirements, define acceptance criteria and sample sizes, negotiate scope and schedule with design and program teams, and drive plans to closure with documented evidence.
  • Architect system-level test setups and validation architectures, including HV/LV interfaces, load and mission profiles, thermal and environmental conditioning, fault-insertion, and end-to-end data acquisition strategy.
  • Review electrical and mechanical schematics and define test cell layouts and requirements for instrumentation, low voltage, and high voltage circuitry; specify equipment and drive lab capability build-out.
  • Define and oversee the design of test benches including jigs and fixtures, instrumentation, harnessing, and DAQ systems; establish measurement accuracy, uncertainty, and correlation requirements.
  • Lead root-cause analysis of complex system-level failures, drive corrective action with design and supplier teams, and independently drive R&D and design-improvement activities.
  • Establish test methods, procedures, and best practices; standardize automation, data pipelines, and reporting across the team.
  • Serve as the validation technical interface to design, systems, reliability, quality, manufacturing, and supplier teams; represent test results in design reviews and program gate reviews.
  • Mentor and provide technical direction to junior engineers and technicians; review test plans, setups, data, and reports for technical rigor.
  • Own HV lab safety standards, equipment calibration strategy, and documentation quality for the validation area.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Power Electronics, or a related field.

  • control loops, EMI/EMC behavior, thermal design).
  • Demonstrated ownership of DVP&Rs and requirements-based validation programs through production launch.
  • Proven experience defining and standing up system-level test setups and lab capability from the ground up.
  • Extensive hands-on expertise with lab equipment (battery simulators, power supplies, E-loads, oscilloscopes, current probes, power analyzers, hi-pot testers, thermal/environmental chambers, DAQ systems).
  • Strong knowledge of automotive and industrial environmental reliability requirements (GMW, ISO, IEC standards) and their application to test plan development.
  • Expert-level high voltage safety knowledge and the ability to establish safe work practices for others.
  • Strong technical writing and communication skills, with the ability to convey complex concepts clearly to technical and executive audiences
  • Preferred
  • Experience developing automated test systems and data analysis pipelines (Python, LabVIEW, MATLAB, or equivalent).
  • Experience with CAN/CAN-FD communication, diagnostics, and HIL or bench-level integration testing.
  • Experience with reliability engineering methods (HALT/HASS, accelerated life testing, Weibull analysis, DFMEA linkage to DVP&R).
  • Experience mentoring engineers and leading cross-functional technical investigations
