Firmware

Integration & Handshaking Definition - Develop and document handshaking protocols between hardware, compressor drive, and fan drive.





- Work closely with firmware teams to validate logic, fault handling, and system safety behaviours. 4.

System

Validation & Testing - Conduct functional testing, performance validation, and environmental testing (high/low temp, humidity, thermal shock) for electronic systems.

- Ensure compliance with EMI/EMC, UL/IEC safety standards, and regulatory requirements.
- Execute DFMEA, PFMEA, and reliability evaluations (surge, ESD, vibration). 5.

Prototype

Development & Issue Resolution - Release engineering prototypes, and drive design improvements.

- Lead root-cause analysis for field issues, testing failures, and production problems.
- Collaborate with manufacturing, quality, and supplier teams for corrective actions.
- Documentation & Change Management - Prepare and maintain technical documentation: schematics, BOMs, DFMEA, validation reports, test plans, release notes.
- Manage ECN/ECR processes and maintain version control for hardware and software releases.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration - Work with mechanical design, refrigeration system design, firmware, software/IoT, sourcing, and supplier engineering teams.
- Support supplier qualification for electronic components, PCBs, SMPS modules, sensors, and assemblies.
- Cost Optimization - Identify cost-reduction opportunities in component selection, board design, and system architecture.




- Optimize PCB real estate and reduce module-level complexity without affecting reliability. 9.
