Shift: Work shift: 1st shift
 
Role Overview:
The role supports OEM electrification programs by operating advanced laboratory equipment, executing structured test procedures, and performing in depth data analysis. This role works closely with cross functional teams, especially in power electronics, electronic design, software, and mechanical design—to define and interpret testing requirements that align with product specifications.
With guidance from senior engineers, the candidate will conduct electric motor and inverter characterization, product verification testing, and additional validation activities following standards. The engineer will document results through clear, accurate technical reports that support design decisions and product verification.
All activities are performed under direct, hands-on supervision to ensure safety, quality, delivery, and cost objectives are met. Success in this role requires strong technical judgment, effective collaboration, attention to detail, and the ability to apply independent thinking when troubleshooting and solving issues.
 
Key Requirements:

• Collect and Organize Test Requirements
• Work with team members to gather, review, and structure test requirements from internal and external customers. Provide constructive feedback to ensure requirements are complete and testable.
• Support PV&V Testing for Power Electronics
• Participate and with assistance, oversee Product Verification & Validation testing of electric motors, inverters, converters, and related systems both in-house and at external facilities.
• Maintain Accurate Documentation
• Ensure all test plans, procedures, results, and project schedules are current, accurate, and clearly communicated to stakeholders.
• Troubleshooting & Debugging
• Apply structured troubleshooting methods to identify root causes of issues. Work collaboratively with peers to resolve findings efficiently while maintaining safety and quality.
• Customer Collaboration
