• *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.
