Responsibilities

- Develop comprehensive validation and verification test plans based on product requirements, design specifications, and applicable industry standards.
- Perform functional, performance, electrical, thermal, environmental, endurance, and reliability testing for Solid State Transfer Switch (STS) products.
- Plan and execute type tests, design verification tests (DVT), product validation tests (PVT), and production qualification tests.
- Conduct electrical safety tests including dielectric withstand (Hi-Pot), insulation resistance, grounding continuity, leakage current, and protection verification.
- Perform transfer performance testing including transfer time, synchronization, source sensing, overload capability, fault transfer, and recovery validation.
- Validate system performance under abnormal operating conditions such as overload, short circuit, source failure, phase loss, phase reversal, voltage imbalance, frequency variation, and fault conditions.
- Coordinate third-party certification testing and ensure compliance with standards such as UL 1008S, UL 508A, IEC 60947, IEC 62040, IEEE, and other customer-specific requirements.
- Design and develop test procedures, test fixtures, automation scripts, and data acquisition systems to improve testing efficiency and repeatability.
- Analyse test data, identify failures, perform root cause analysis (RCA), and work with design teams to implement corrective actions.
- Prepare detailed test reports, validation summaries, non-conformance reports, and certification documentation.
- Support prototype builds, engineering sample evaluations, factory acceptance testing (FAT), and customer witness testing when required.
- Verify product reliability through endurance, thermal cycling, life cycle,



and accelerated stress testing.
- Ensure calibration and maintenance of laboratory equipment, instruments, and test setups.
- Participate in design reviews, DFMEA, PFMEA, and risk assessment activities by providing testability and reliability feedback.
- Drive continuous improvement of laboratory processes, testing methodologies, automation, and safety practices.
- Mentor junior test engineers and technicians while promoting engineering best practices.

Qualifications
