You will inspect critical inverter components (capacitors, power modules, and busbars), assemble prototype test samples, instrument them with diagnostic sensors, and build custom low-voltage and high-voltage wiring harnesses.
Beyond the initial build, you will configure and operate advanced laboratory equipment-including high-voltage testers, thermal chambers, and power cyclers-while troubleshooting experimental setups, performing routine equipment maintenance, and executing safe, systematic teardowns.
Additionally, you will support day-to-day lab operations through inventory management, shipping and receiving, equipment calibration, and maintaining a safe, highly organized facility.

Demonstrated experience in manual machining, custom prototyping, and fabricating test fixtures, mounts, or structural framing from CAD models, engineering drawings, or hand sketches.
  • Proven experience reading, interpreting, and troubleshooting from both electrical schematics and mechanical assembly drawings.
  • Strong working knowledge of high-voltage systems (208VAC-480VAC & 50VDC-1000VDC) and standard laboratory safety protocols, including ECPL (Energy Control / Power Lock-out) or LOTO.
