Your hardware background lets you design efficient, accurate test systems for our Solid State Transformer and integrate them with manufacturing systems.
- Architect a highly scalable, modular test framework in Golang to test high-voltage power electronics, thermal systems, and more, spanning lab validation, regression testing, and production.
- Drive end-to-end test software development from design through deployment and post-deployment improvements, building in ease of validation and maintenance.
- Integrate test systems with MES and other databases to enable traceability and closed-loop feedback between test results and production.
- Innovate test system design by collaborating with electrical, mechanical, firmware, and manufacturing teams, and provide feedback to improve product quality.
- Lead and mentor the software team: establish development standards, foster a strong code review culture, and drive adoption across the team.
