Summary

The Test Development Engineer (Power) designs, develops and implements automatic test equipment and test programs for product testing and design verification which ensure robust and high quality assembled products in manufacturing. On our growing team, you will be the technical lead for de-risking high-cost product development phases (EVT and DVT). This is a high-impact, internal-facing role where you will take full ownership of measurement quality for cutting-edge power technologies. You will bridge the gap between design and manufacturing by developing robust test plans and automated logging systems, freeing design engineers to focus on next-generation architecture.

Detailed Description

Performs tasks such as, but not limited to, the following:

• Lead the testing and validation of power electronics through EVT/DVT phases, owning the full test plan generation and validation strategy.

• Master the use of oscilloscopes and precision equipment to measure subtle signals and nanovolt-level noise in high-power environments (up to several kilowatts).

• Design and develop integrated test solutions (hardware and software) including high-level architecture, system integration, qualification, and installation.

• Build and maintain automated test scripts using Python and Linux to remotely configure test equipment, microcontrollers, and CPUs.

• Establish a rigorous culture of data organization and indexing for historical test results to enable rapid debugging.

• Manage measurement integrity by identifying if issues stem from design flaws, parasitic interference, grounding loops, or soldering quality.

• Develop technical proposals, cost BOMs, and hour estimates based on customer requirements and design specifications.

• Drive alignment in internal meetings with Program Managers (EPMs) and act as the primary technical contact for power vendors.

• Provide technical leadership and program management for smaller projects, including coordinating and reviewing the work of other engineers.

• Review and interpret customer documentation and conduct research/experiments with minimal direction.

• Execute all validation and qualification requirements using statistical and common industry methods.

• Stabilize and optimize test solutions for manufacturing, focusing on cycle time, yield, and collaboration with process teams.

• Provide feedback to product design teams regarding testability (DFT), coverage, diagnosability, reparability, and firmware/diagnostics.

• Keep up to date with relevant industry knowledge, trends, and regulations.

Knowledge/Skills/Competencies

• Experience in power validation for semiconductor or high-tech system

• Familiarity with structural and functional testing for high-density power modules.
