Job Title:
Electrical Test Engineer
Job Description

This role focuses on testing and validating high-voltage electrical products with IoT features and complex systems in a lab-based environment. You will design and execute comprehensive test plans, support test bench development, and collaborate closely with system design engineers and developers to ensure high-quality, reliable residential energy products such as solar inverters, batteries, EV chargers, smart panels, connected outlets, and smart lighting solutions.

The position is 100% on site in a lab setting, offers a structured buddy system for support and knowledge sharing, and welcomes candidates who are recent graduates or have internship experience.

Responsibilities

Collaborate with system design engineers, developers, and stakeholders to understand project requirements and develop comprehensive test strategies.

Plan, design, and maintain detailed test plans that cover functional, regression, integration, and performance testing for high-voltage electrical products with IoT features.

Review use cases, system requirements, and product specifications to fully understand system and solution behavior, and translate system and sub-system requirements into clear test requirements and test plans.

Create and execute detailed test cases and test scripts based on requirements and specifications, ensuring thorough coverage of all relevant scenarios.

Manage traceability between the test plan, test cases, automation sequences, and requirements, ensuring clear linkage and coverage across all testing activities.

Report test progress, results, and coverage to stakeholders, providing clear documentation and updates throughout the test lifecycle.

Identify, document, and report defects, issues, and anomalies using a defect tracking system, and collaborate with engineering teams to help resolve them.

Support the full test bench development lifecycle, including gathering requirements, contributing to design, assisting with implementation, and supporting ongoing maintenance.

Use electrical testing equipment, instrumentation, and software tools to perform integration, verification, and validation of hardware and firmware.

Debug hardware and firmware issues discovered during testing and provide clear feedback to design and development teams.

Contribute to test system design and test automation to improve efficiency, repeatability, and coverage of testing activities.

Work effectively in a dynamic, multi–time zone environment, coordinating with global teams as needed.

Travel up to approximately 10% of the time for testing, collaboration, or lab-related activities as required.

Essential Skills

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or an equivalent engineering degree, including degrees from BCIT.

1–3 years of experience in integration, verification, and validation of high-voltage electrical products with IoT features or similarly complex systems. (Candidates with strong internships or recent graduation will also be
