The Power Systems Test Engineer is responsible for testing, validating, and troubleshooting electrical systems and circuits for various applications. This role focuses on ensuring the quality, reliability, and performance of power systems through rigorous testing, simulation, and analysis. The position collaborates closely with design, manufacturing, and project teams to support product development and deployment, providing insights for continuous improvement. This is a mid-level role emphasizing hands-on test engineering rather than system design.

• Develop, execute, and maintain test plans, procedures, and scripts for electrical and power systems.
• Conduct functional, performance, and reliability testing of power electronics systems, including DC/DC converters and high-current designs.
• Troubleshoot, analyze, and resolve system-level issues identified during testing or in production.

• Simulate and measure system performance using tools such as PSPICE, LTSPICE, and other relevant measurement equipment.
• Collect, analyze, and interpret test data, and provide clear reporting to stakeholders.
• Recommend improvements to enhance system performance, reliability, or manufacturability.
• Liaise with suppliers, contractors, and internal teams to resolve technical issues and verify component performance.
• Stay current with industry trends, standards, and testing methodologies.

• Hands-on experience in test engineering or validation of power systems or embedded electronics.
• Familiarity with DC/DC power topologies, high-current designs, and power electronics concepts.
• Experience with test equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, power analyzers, and data acquisition systems.
• Ability to troubleshoot hardware issues and interpret schematics and technical documentation.
• Proficiency with circuit simulation and analysis tools (PSPICE, LTSPICE, or similar).
• Strong communication and documentation skills.
• Collaborative mindset to work effectively across design, manufacturing, and project teams.

• Duties of this position are performed in a normal office environment.
• Duties may require extended periods of sitting and sustained visual concentration on a computer monitor or on numbers and other detailed data.
• Repetitive manual movements (e.g., data entry, using a computer mouse, using a calculator, etc.) are frequently required.
• Occasional travel may be required.

• 9 to 12 years of related experience
• 3 to 6 years of relevant test engineering, hardware validation, or equivalent experience.

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or related field.
