Senior Engineer - Verification and Validation

Job Description We are looking for an experienced Power Electronics Validation & Verification (V&V) Engineer / Lead to manage end-to-end testing, hardware debugging, and qualification across high-voltage automotive and power systems. You will lead EVT, DVT, and PVT execution for DC-DC converters, AC-DC chargers/inverters, and high-power units, ensuring product safety, performance, and regulatory compliance. Key Responsibilities : Validation Lifecycle Management: Plan and execute EVT (Engineering Validation Testing), DVT (Design Validation Testing), and PVT (Production Validation Testing) for high-power DC-DC converters, AC-DC rectifiers, On-Board Chargers (OBC), and inverters. High-Power & High-Voltage Testing: Conduct full load-curve efficiency mapping, thermal evaluations, transient load response, and protection verification (over-voltage, short-circuit, over-current). Hardware Debugging & Root Cause Analysis: Perform hands‑on board bring-up, double-pulse testing for gate drivers/switching dynamics (SiC, GaN, Si MOSFETs, IGBTs), and root cause analysis using 8D and FMEA methods. EMI/EMC & Compliance Testing: Lead conducted emissions (CE), radiated emissions (RE), conducted immunity (CI), and radiated immunity (RI) testing as per CISPR 25, ISO 11452, IEC 61000, and UNECE R10. Instrumentation & High-Voltage Safety: Operate high‑bandwidth oscilloscopes, differential probes, Rogowski coils, and precision power analyzers. Maintain strict compliance with NFPA 70E / ISO 6469 high-voltage safety standards and verify HVIL (High-Voltage Interlock Loop) circuits. Test Automation & Scripting: Develop automated test frameworks using Python (PyVISA/SCPI), LabVIEW, or MATLAB/Simulink to streamline data collection, log parsing, and report generation. Bus Communication & Logging: Utilize CAN / CAN FD, UART, and Automotive Ethernet via tools like Vector CANoe, CANalyzer, or Peak CAN to perform signal decoding and bus validation. Documentation: Generate formal Test Specifications, Test Vector Sheets, and Traceability Matrices (ASPICE / ISO 26262 compliant context). Required Skills & Qualifications : Education: B.E. / B.Tech / M.E. / M.Tech in Electrical & Electronics Engineering (EEE) or Power Electronics. Core Fundamentals: Deep understanding of power converter topologies (Buck, Boost, LLC Resonant, Dual Active Bridge, Interleaved PFC) and digital control loops. Testing & Tools: Hands‑on experience with programmable bidirectional DC power supplies, AC grid simulators, electronic loads, and thermal cameras. High-Voltage Safety: Active experience with insulation resistance testing, HiPot (AC/DC breakdown), and partial discharge analysis. Protocols: Practical knowledge of CAN, CAN FD, UART, Ethernet, and SPI.
