Top 3 responsibilities

Execute detailed test plans in the Electrification lab and conduct hands-on testing.
Make test requests for lab resources 1–2 weeks ahead and ensure data quality documentation is current.
Analyze test data and prepare post-test reports; contribute to continuous improvement ideas for safety, quality, and test efficiency.

Must-have skills

Demonstrated commitment to SAFETY and ability to act as “safety steward” in the lab.
Strong attention to detail and observation skills.
Proven data analysis capability; effective communication with engineering peers.
2–7 years of relevant hardware testing experience (not purely software testing); ability to work in a lab environment.

Nice-to-haves

Experience ensuring test data quality is documented and traceable.
Experience proposing and implementing process improvements for safety, quality, or efficiency.
Location & work type: Lab-based role with in-building and global collaboration; location not specified; likely on-site in the Electrification lab.

Full Description

Position’s Contributions to Work Group

Make detailed test requests for the lab resources that will be needed one to two weeks ahead of the start of a test.
Perform hands-on testing in the lab.
Ensure that all data quality processes are followed before and during testing.
Perform data analysis and post test reporting as required.

Typical task breakdown

The Power Conversion Test Engineer works closely with the power conversion validation team to understand the technical risks that are being evaluated with a given test. This role will primarily execute detailed test plans in the Electrification" lab. SAFETY is the highest priority program and the individual who secures this role will have a responsibility to "be their brother's keeper" in the lab, looking out for their team members safety also. The priority for the modular PCS product, which this role will be performing various validation tests to support, will fall close behind in priority. This role will not only execute the hands on testing, this role will be responsible for making test requests for lab resources needed at least one to two weeks in advance of the start of the test, ensuring that data quality documentation is up-to-date for the test zone being utilized, and submitting continuous improvement ideas for ways to improve safety, quality, and/or test efficiency.

Day-to-Day Activities Include

· Make detailed test requests for the lab resources that will be needed one to two weeks ahead of the start of a test.
· Perform hands-on testing in the lab.
· Ensure that all data quality processes are followed before and during testing.
· Perform data analysis and post test reporting as required.

Interaction with team

The Power Conversion Test Engineer works closely with the power conversion validation team to understand the technical risks that are being evaluated with a given test. The test engineer also works closely with the lab support team to inform them of the resource requirements needed in order to successfully complete the testing. (voltage levels, power levels, instrumentation needs, etc.)

Team Structure

This role will be part of the power conversion validation and test execution team. This team is responsible for determining a new product’s technical risk and developing validation plans to mitigate that risk. This role will be running these validation tests, analyzing the data, and authoring post test summaries.

Work environment

Lab work environment. Collaboration with employees in other parts of the building is typical. Collaboration virtually with other parts of the world also common.
