  • Track, investigate, and escalate issues by providing clear, well-structured, high-level updates.
  • Maintain traceability between requirements, test cases, and results.
  • Define test equipment, functional requirements of instrumentation, data acquisitions for test and validation efforts.
  • Provide directions to test engineers and technicians (at internal labs, and at 3rd party test labs) setting up and executing tests.
  • Create summary test reports and provide data analytics collected during testing.

Qualifications:

  • B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field
  • Minimum of 5 years of experience collaborating with cross functional stakeholders in a hardware test and development team. 

Desired Skills:

  • Expertise in environmental test setup, execution, and error-proofing.

  • Proficiency with instrumentation such as thermocouples, RTDs, strain gauges, accelerometers, pressure gauges, and flow meters. 
  • Hands-on experience in hardware and software test environment from the component to the system level. 
  • Familiarity with electronics test equipment, including power supplies, electronic loads, oscilloscopes, function generators, and data acquisition systems. 
  • Understanding of hardware development life cycles, reliability testing, and compliance standards. 
  • Must-be able to travel internationally for test integration, commissioning, and training. 
  • Experience designing test plans and managing external test laboratories.  
  • Knowledge of industry standards such as MIL-STD-50G, UL 2202, and UL 50E. 
  • Experience with medium- and high-voltage systems (up to 1000VDC). 
  • Proficiency in collaboration and requirements management tools (JIRA, Confluence, JAMA). 
  • Strong analytical mindset with hands-on troubleshooting, failure analysis, and problem-solving skills. 
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills, including the ability to document and present test results effectively.
