Benefits include medical, vision and dental coverage, 401(k), paid vacation, holidays, sick time, and other benefits.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering or a related field.
Knowledge of switching converters, electrical measurements, transient behavior, and thermal performance.
Hands-on experience with power-electronics hardware and instruments such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, electronic loads, probes, sensors, or data acquisition equipment; relevant academic, project, internship, or professional experience may qualify.
Ability to read schematics, assemble or modify test hardware, interpret measurements, and troubleshoot product behavior and test setups during late-stage bring-up.
Ability to analyze results, document findings, and communicate clearly.

Nice To Haves

Experience testing power semiconductor devices, DC-DC converters, power modules, or uModule products.
Experience monitoring extended automated characterization or qualification tests.
Familiarity with Allegro, Altium Designer, or similar PCB tools for new or modified test hardware.
Experience designing test fixtures, wiring harnesses, or custom hardware interfaces.
Familiarity with automated test equipment and data acquisition systems.
Knowledge of thermal management, environmental testing, or reliability laboratory practices.

Responsibilities

Characterize DC-DC converters, power modules, and semiconductor devices using power supplies, electronic loads, oscilloscopes, current probes, and temperature measurements.
Interpret switching waveforms, voltage and current behavior, efficiency, transient response, regulation, and temperature, and identify product, measurement, or test-setup issues.
Select measurement methods and adapt fixtures, wiring, sensing, and instrumentation for new product requirements.
Run electrical and thermal derating and automated power-cycling tests; verify conditions, monitor tests, investigate anomalies, troubleshoot hardware, and document results.
