We achieve this through deep vertical integration with design engineering and productionhappening in-houseacross our global offices the world united by a shared commitment to refusing to settle youcanhelpredefinewhatspossible andshape the future of mobility.

We are currently seeking a Validation Engineer for our Power Electronics Validation team. Our idealcandidate exhibits a can-do attitude and approaches their work with vigor and determination. Candidateswill be expected to demonstrate excellence in their respective fields to possess the ability to learn quicklyand to strive for perfection within a fast-paced this role you will execute component- and system-level validation of power electronics hardware buildand maintain validation setups and contribute to the development and execution of DVP&Rs under theguidance of senior team members.

Responsibilities

• Execute component- and system-level validation for power electronics products (on-board chargers DC-DC converters inverters and related high voltage assemblies) confirming products meet internalrequirements industry standards and real-world use conditions.
• Support the development execution and maintenance of DVP&Rs: draft validation cases from requirements track status and coverage log results and report pass/fail against acceptance criteria.
• Review electrical and mechanical schematics and create validation cell layouts for instrumentation low voltage and high voltage circuitry.
• Build wire and commission validation benches including jigs and fixtures instrumentation harnessing and data acquisition systems for performance and reliability evaluation.
• Contribute to the definition of system-level validation setups including load and mission profiles thermal and environmental conditioning and HV/LV interface configurations working closely with the lead validation engineer.
• Perform hands-on validation and troubleshooting using lab equipment (battery simulators power supplies E-loads oscilloscopes current probes power analyzers thermal chambers DAQ systems).
• Document validation failures and anomalies capture supporting data and escalate findings with clear technical summaries.
• Process and analyze validation data generate plots and summary metrics and author clear well-organized validation reports.
• Maintain lab equipment calibration records validation documentation and safe HV lab practices.
• Collaborate with design systems quality and manufacturing teams to support issue resolution and design iterations.

Qualifications

• Bachelors degree or higher in Electrical Engineering Mechanical Engineering Power Electronics or a related field.
• 3 years of experience in power electronics development and validation preferred.
• Good hands-on experience with hardware validation including bench build-up and instrumentation.
• Familiarity with various lab equipment (force gauge thermocouples power supplies multimeter hi-pot tester oscilloscopes E-loads DAQ).
• Exposure to DVP&R creation and requirements-based validation planning.
• Knowledge of automotive and industrial environmental reliability requirements (GMW ISO IEC standards).
• Working knowledge of high voltage safety practices and lab safety procedures.
• Strong technical writing and communication skills with the ability to convey complex concepts clearly.

Preferred

• Experience with validation automation and data analysis (Python LabVIEW MATLAB or equivalent).
• Experience with CAN communication and vehicle/bench-level diagnostic tools.
• Experience validating HV automotive power conversion hardware in a lab or vehicle environment
