Summary

The Power 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.

Detailed Description

Performs tasks such as, but not limited to, the following:
  • 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 low-voltage designs for CPU, GPU, ASIC, FPGA, and etc.
  • Troubleshoot, analyze, and resolve board- and system-level issues identified during testing or in production.
  • Work closely with design and manufacturing teams to support validation, qualification, and problem resolution.
  • 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/system performance.
  • Stay up-to-date with industry trends, standards, and testing methodologies.


Knowledge/Skills/Competencies

  • Hands-on experience in test engineering or validation of power board and system racks or embedded electronics.
  • Familiarity with DC/DC converter topologies such as intermediate bus converter (IBC), non-isolated/isolated DC/DC converter, and Buck converter, high-current low-voltage designs, and power electronics theory.
  • Experience with test equipment such as passive/active/differential probes, oscilloscopes, multimeters, power analyzer, data acquisition systems, impedance analyzer, and bode plot measurement equipment.
  • Ability to troubleshoot hardware issues and interpret schematics and technical documentation.
  • Proficiency/familiar with circuit simulation and analysis tools (PSPICE, LTSPICE, or equivalent).
  • Strong communication and documentation skills.
  • Collaborative mindset to work effectively across design, manufacturing, and project teams.


Physical Demands

  • Duties of this position are performed in a normal office and lab 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.


Typical Experience

  • 7 to 10 years of related experience with 3 to 6 years of relevant test engineering, hardware validation, or equivalent experience.
  • 4 to 6 years of related experience with 1 to 3 years of relevant test engineering, hardware validation, or equivalent experience.


Typical Education

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