- Execute IEEE 1547.1 and other grid compliance test procedures under the guidance of engineering staff.
- Configure test setups, operate laboratory equipment, collect test data, and maintain test documentation for power systems rated at 90 kW or higher, including 208 V and 480 V three-phase systems, while following applicable electrical-safety procedures.
- Troubleshoot test failures and unexpected results, analyze findings, and communicate results to the engineering team.
- Collaborate with engineers, software developers, and software qualification teams to improve product quality and test efficiency.
Qualifications
Required
- Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems Engineering, Renewable Energy, or a related field.
- Strong foundation in electrical engineering principles, including power systems, three-phase power, protection, controls, and power electronics.
- Genuine interest in hands-on laboratory work and comfort using common hand tools to assemble, configure, and troubleshoot test equipment and system-level setups.
- Self-motivated and able to work independently while collaborating effectively within a multidisciplinary engineering team.
- Strong attention to detail, organization, and commitment to engineering quality and safety.
Preferred
- Familiarity with distributed energy resources (DERs), including solar inverters, battery energy storage systems, and grid-connected power conversion equipment.
- Knowledge of grid interconnection standards and test procedures such as IEEE 1547, IEEE 1547.1, UL 1741 SB, or similar industry standards.
- Experience working with laboratory instrumentation and measurement equipment, such as oscilloscopes, power analyzers, data acquisition systems, programmable power sources, or electronic loads.
- Experience with test automation, scripting, or software-based control of test systems using tools such as Python, MATLAB, OpenTAP, or similar platforms.
- Basic networking skills, including configuring network connections and using remote-access tools such as SSH, Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), or similar technologies.
- Exposure to .NET/C# programming and development environments.
