Electrical Test Engineer

Manufacturing Testing Engineering

Job Summary:

The Manufacturing Testing Engineering is responsible for executing and supporting testing processes for electrical equipment within a regional manufacturing environment. This role focuses on three primary responsibilities: performing functional and compliance testing on power electronics (e.g., inverters and drives), developing and improving testing procedures and lab capabilities, and ensuring adherence to quality and Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) standards. This position is critical to ensuring product reliability, safety, and performance while supporting continuous improvement in manufacturing operations.

Key Responsibilities:

• Perform functional testing of electrical equipment including insulation, Hi-Pot, I/O verification, cooling systems, and performance validation

• Troubleshoot equipment issues independently and identify root causes using technical expertise

• Develop and implement test plans, procedures, and documentation for inverters, converters, and drive systems

• Set up and maintain test lab environments, including selection of required test equipment

• Prepare detailed test reports and documentation using standard engineering templates

• Support continuous improvement initiatives by identifying manufacturing and testing inefficiencies and implementing solutions

• Collaborate with engineering and manufacturing teams to improve product design and testability

• Ensure compliance with safety protocols, including Lockout/Tagout (LOTO) procedures and EHS standards

• Lead or support customer witness testing and factory acceptance testing (FAT)

• Participate in third-party certification testing and validation processes

• Track and report key quality metrics such as first pass yield and testing outcomes

• Align testing processes with applicable industry standards (e.g., IEC, UL)

• Promote a safety-first and zero-defect culture across testing operations

Minimum Education & Experience Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related technical field required

• Minimum of 3+ years of experience in electrical equipment testing, manufacturing, or a related engineering function

• Experience working with power electronics, industrial drives, or similar equipment preferred

• Exposure to manufacturing processes, quality systems, and testing environments required
