About the Role:
We're looking for a Hardware Validation Engineer who lives at the bench. Your primary job is to validate our power electronics PCBs — BMS boards, inverter stages, protection circuits, AC/DC conversion blocks — and make sure what we design actually performs as intended under real operating conditions. You'll also design and build the test benches and fixtures that make that validation scalable and repeatable. Strong troubleshooting instincts and a solid understanding of AC systems are essential — our products sit at the intersection of DC battery storage and AC grid interfaces.
What You'll Do:
Hardware Validation
▸ Validate BMS PCBs, power electronics boards, analog front-end circuits, gate drive stages,
and protection networks at the board level
▸ Write and execute structured test plans — functional verification, parametric
characterization, stress testing, and corner-case coverage
▸ Conduct bring-up testing on new PCB revisions — power rail sequencing, signal integrity
spot checks, peripheral communication verification (I2C, SPI, UART, CAN)
▸ Perform stress and margin testing — voltage margining, temperature sweeps, load
transient response, and protection threshold verification (OVP, UVP, OCP, short circuit,
thermal)
▸ Validate AC-side behavior — grid interface circuits, inverter output waveforms, PF
correction, harmonic content, and AC protection responses
▸ Simulate circuits in LTspice and cross-validate against bench measurements; investigate
and document deviations.
▸ Maintain test traceability — requirements to test cases to results — across all design
revisions.
▸ Write structured failure analysis reports and drive RCA findings back into the design team
Test Bench Design & Setup:
▸ Design, build, and maintain test benches and fixtures for board-level and subsystem-level
validation.
▸ Set up and operate lab instruments — oscilloscopes, function generators, bench power
supplies, electronic loads, LCR meters, power analysers, and logic analysers.
▸ Automate repetitive test sequences using Python or scripting tools connected to bench
instruments.
▸ Define test coverage requirements from hardware specs and schematics in Altium
Designer.
Hardware Troubleshooting:
▸ Debug board-level failures — component faults, layout issues, thermal problems, timing
and sequencing errors.
▸ Use oscilloscopes, logic analysers, and in-circuit debugging to isolate root causes at signal
and component level.
▸ Rework and patch prototype boards as needed to verify design fixes before next silicon
▸ Work directly with the hardware design team to close failure reports with verified corrective
actions.
What We're Looking For:
Must Have:
▸ B.E./B.Tech or M.Tech in Electronics, Electrical, or Power Electronics Engineering.
▸ 1–4 years of hands-on hardware validation experience at the PCB and circuit level.
▸ Good understanding of AC systems — grid interfaces, inverter topologies, AC protection,
waveform analysis.
▸ Ability to read and interpret schematics and PCB layouts in Altium Designer.
▸ Working knowledge of LTspice for circuit simulation and pre-validation analysis.
▸ Daily comfort with bench instruments — oscilloscopes, power analysers, electronic loads,
function generators, LCR meters.
▸ Experience designing or setting up test benches and validation fixtures.
▸ Strong troubleshooting instincts — systematic, schematic-driven, not guess-and-check.
▸ Methodical documentation habits — test plans, parametric logs, failure reports, ECNs.
