You will inspect critical inverter components (capacitors, power modules, and busbars), assemble prototype test samples, instrument them with diagnostic sensors, and build custom low-voltage and high-voltage wiring harnesses.
Beyond the initial build, you will configure and operate advanced laboratory equipment-including high-voltage testers, thermal chambers, and power cyclers-while troubleshooting experimental setups, performing routine equipment maintenance, and executing safe, systematic teardowns.
Additionally, you will support day-to-day lab operations through inventory management, shipping and receiving, equipment calibration, and maintaining a safe, highly organized facility.

  • 3+ years of experience working in an R&D, validation, or test laboratory, with a proven track record of building, maintaining, and systematically tearing down complex electromechanical test setups.
  • 2+ years of experience in Low Voltage (LV) and High Voltage (HV) wiring harness fabrication, assembly, and quality inspection. Demonstrated experience in manual machining, custom prototyping, and fabricating test fixtures, mounts, or structural framing from CAD models, engineering drawings, or hand sketches.
  • Proven experience reading, interpreting, and troubleshooting from both electrical schematics and mechanical assembly drawings.
  • Strong working knowledge of high-voltage systems (208VAC-480VAC & 50VDC-1000VDC) and standard laboratory safety protocols, including ECPL (Energy Control / Power Lock-out) or LOTO.

Education Required:
