Inverter Testing Technologist

Job Title: Inverter Testing Technologist

Overview

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Inverter Testing Technologist to support the development and testing of current and next-generation electrified vehicle traction inverters. This is a hands-on laboratory role focused on building, configuring, operating, and maintaining complex electromechanical test systems while supporting daily laboratory operations.

Key Responsibilities

• Build custom structural test stands from engineering drawings and schematics.
• Construct complex electromechanical test setups.
• Inspect inverter components including capacitors, power modules, and busbars.
• Assemble prototype test samples.
• Install diagnostic sensors on prototype assemblies.
• Build low-voltage (LV) and high-voltage (HV) wiring harnesses.
• Configure and operate laboratory equipment including high-voltage testers, thermal chambers, and power cyclers.
• Troubleshoot experimental test setups.
• Perform routine maintenance on laboratory equipment.
• Execute safe and systematic teardown of test setups.
• Support laboratory operations through inventory management.
• Assist with shipping and receiving activities.
• Support equipment calibration activities.
• Maintain a safe, organized laboratory environment.

Required Qualifications

• High School Diploma or GED.
• 3+ years of experience in an R&D, validation, or test laboratory building, maintaining, and tearing down complex electromechanical test setups.
• 2+ years of experience with low-voltage (LV) and high-voltage (HV) wiring harness fabrication, assembly, and inspection.
• Experience with manual machining, custom prototyping, and fabrication of test fixtures, mounts, or structural framing using CAD models, engineering drawings, or hand sketches.
• Experience reading, interpreting, and troubleshooting electrical schematics and mechanical assembly drawings.
• Working knowledge of high-voltage systems (208VAC–480VAC and 50VDC–1000VDC).
• Knowledge of laboratory safety protocols, including Energy Control/Power Lock-out (ECPL) or Lockout/Tagout (LOTO).

Preferred Qualifications

• Associate's degree in Automotive Technology or equivalent practical experience in a mechanical, electrical, automotive, or related technical field.
• Experience with 3D printing and rapid prototyping.
• Experience reading GD&T guidelines and using precision measuring tools such as calipers, micrometers, and dial indicators.
• Experience with through-hole and surface-mount (SMT) PCB soldering.
