Responsibilities (What he/she will do after joining UI)
- Own system-level DQA and validation activities for Energy Storage System (ESS) products throughout the NPI lifecycle.
- Develop test plans and qualification criteria for ESS reliability, functionality, performance, safety, and system integration.
- Validate ESS architectures, including battery packs, BMS, PCS/inverters, EMS, power distribution, protection circuits, and grid interaction.
- Perform system integration testing for charge/discharge, grid-connected operation, backup power, load transitions, power outages, and recovery scenarios.
- Define and execute reliability validation, including temperature, thermal cycling, humidity, vibration, ESD, surge, and long-term operation.
- Validate BMS protection mechanisms, including over/under-voltage, over-current, short-circuit, temperature protection, SOC/SOH, and cell balancing.
- Validate PCS/Inverter performance, including conversion efficiency, load response, abnormal operating conditions, and protection mechanisms.
- Conduct high-power and thermal validation for battery cells, connectors, terminals, busbars, relays/contactors, and other high-current paths.
- Conduct failure analysis (FA), root cause investigation, and corrective action verification for NPI, reliability, and field/RMA issues.
- Apply FMEA/DFMEA, MTBF, statistical analysis, and field lessons learned to improve test coverage and prevent recurrence.
- Support second-source qualification, engineering changes, Control Run validation, and sustaining quality activities.
- Collaborate with EE, ME, FW, BMS, Power Electronics, PM, suppliers, and manufacturing teams to drive quality improvements.
Requirement (Must-Haves)
- Bachelor's degree or above in Electrical/Electronics, Power Electronics, Energy Engineering, or related fields.
- 5+ years of experience in hardware/system validation, reliability, or design quality engineering.
- Experience with ESS/BESS, UPS, PV/Solar Inverter, EV Charger, or other high-power systems.
- Strong knowledge of Battery Pack, BMS, PCS/Inverter, EMS, and AC/DC power systems.
- Familiar with Li-ion/LFP/NMC batteries, SOC, SOH, DOD, internal resistance, cycle life, and cell balancing.
- Experience with BMS protection, high-current/thermal, environmental, ESD, and surge validation.
- Proficient with oscilloscopes, multimeters, power analyzers, electronic loads, power supplies, data loggers, and thermal chambers.
- Capable of independently developing test plans, conducting FA, and verifying corrective actions.
- Knowledge of FMEA/DFMEA, MTBF, reliability engineering, and statistical analysis.
- Strong system-level problem-solving skills with an end-user-oriented mindset.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with residential/commercial ESS, BESS, solar energy storage, or hybrid inverters.
- Experience with Battery/BMS Analyzers, battery cyclers, and high-power test systems.
