## About the Role

Education: Degree in Electrical Engineering is preferred, but degrees in Physics, Mathematics, or other Engineering disciplines (Software, Electrical and Computer, Mechanical) are acceptable.

Experience: 3+ years of hands-on electrical or hardware lab experience overall, including hardware circuit testing.

Technical Skills: Proficiency with oscilloscopes, appropriate passive/differential/current probing, electronic loads, digital multimeters, and power supplies. Practical Python scripting skills for controlling lab equipment, automating data acquisition, and executing repeatable tests. Hands-on experience characterizing and validating voltage regulators, with an understanding of regulation, efficiency, ripple/noise, and transient behavior. Experience with hands-on power measurement and software tools for power, thermal, and performance data collection, characterization, and validation. Strong data analysis and technical reporting skills, with the ability to produce accurate, readable plots and reports.

## Description

* Plan and execute regulator tests against defined requirements, including measurements such as efficiency, line/load regulation, ripple/noise, load transients, and startup/shutdown behavior.
 * Build reliable bench setups, select appropriate instruments and probing techniques, and characterize behavior across relevant input voltages, load levels, and operating conditions.
 * Develop and maintain Python scripts for equipment control, automated data acquisition, and repeatable test execution.
 * Collaborate with engineers to investigate failures and verify fixes.
 * Measure power hands-on and use software tools to collect power, thermal, and performance data across representative workloads and operating conditions.
 * Correlate bench measurements with software-collected data to evaluate power, temperature, and performance behavior, identify trends and tradeoffs, and assess measurement repeatability.
 * Compare measured outcomes with defined requirements, investigate unexpected behavior with fellow engineers, and reproduce issues and retest changes to confirm results.
 * Analyze data rigorously, check data quality, and distinguish actual hardware findings from measurement artifacts. Explain trends, variability, limitations, and conclusions with evidence.
 * Create clean, reproducible reports for engineers, with clear plots and tables and documented configurations, procedures, results, limitations, and recommended next steps.
 * Independently plan, prioritize, and execute test activities, communicating progress and findings clearly, keeping test status current, and escalating blockers or unexpected results promptly.
