Senior Engineering Lab Technician

Location

Minimum of 3 days a week in the office in Torrance, CA. (Hybrid role)

Claros enables Grid-to-Chip power infrastructure solutions for next generation Data Centers. Our mission is to transform power management to meet the global energy demand created by big data, artificial intelligence and ML. Through our innovative power delivery platform, our technology helps next generation data centers implement and operate server platforms that identify, control, and optimize power and energy management systems to meet real‑world end‑user demands.

We serve government and commercial customers.

We are open‑minded, fast‑paced, problem solvers that value open dialogue and candor. Our passion is to challenge the status‑quo and we embrace transformational thinking. Our response is never “no, but….” instead “yes, if….”. We are mindful of our personal and organizational blinders and try to build an environment where our team members are at their best.

We are looking for a Staff Test Engineer to own lab and bench activities for the IVR team, with a strong focus on Engineering Validation Test (EVT) and Design Validation Test (DVT).

In this role, you will be responsible for developing and executing test plans, verifying compliance to product requirements and specifications, validating real‑world hardware performance, bringing up new evaluation platforms, automating measurements, and driving debug and root‑cause analysis. You will work closely with design, systems, packaging, digital and packaging teams to ensure IVR products meet performance, reliability and readiness targets.

This is an excellent opportunity for a candidate who thrives in a fast‑moving hardware environment and wants direct impact on the development of advanced power delivery technology.

• Own bench‑based verification and validation of IVR hardware across prototype and pre‑production phases
• Lead execution of EVT and DVT for integrated voltage regulator products, evaluation boards and demonstrator platforms
• Develop and execute test plans that verify compliance to electrical, thermal, functional and protection requirements
• Validate real‑world product performance across operating conditions, corner cases and intended use environments
• Perform hardware bring‑up, debug and characterization of evaluation boards and system platforms
• Define pass/fail criteria, test coverage and readiness metrics for validation milestones
• Execute and analyze tests for regulation accuracy, load transient response, startup and shutdown behavior, fault response and protection features, telemetry accuracy, thermal performance, control behavior and stability
• Debug issues related to power delivery, board functionality, signal integrity, telemetry and control interactions
• Develop and maintain automated test setups and scripts using Python, LabVIEW, MATLAB or similar tools
• Integrate oscilloscopes, electronic loads, power supplies, DMMs, DAQs, power analyzers and thermal instrumentation into repeatable test environments
• Automate data logging, post‑processing, visualization and report generation
• Support development of test fixtures, interface boards and bench infrastructure for scalable and repeatable verification and validation
• Partner with cross‑functional teams to resolve failures, improve coverage and drive closure of validation issues
• Generate clear test reports and communicate findings, risks and recommendations to engineering stakeholders
• Support reliability and environmental stress testing, including thermal cycling, load transients and power‑on stress as needed

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Computer Engineering or related field
• 4+ years of experience in test engineering, validation engineering, verification engineering, power electronics or hardware development
• Strong hands‑on experience with bench testing, hardware bring‑up and debug
• Experience with EVT, DVT, product verification, specification compliance testing or hardware validation
• Good understanding of power electronics, analog circuits, DC‑DC converters, voltage regulators or power management systems
• Experience…
