About This Role

We are seeking a highly skilled Test Development Engineer able to develop automated tests for a variety of Socomec products. The ideal candidate will have extensive knowledge of TestStand / LabVIEW / CVI, knowledge of Python, expert in hardware test automation methodologies. The primary responsibilities will include development of the test cases using TestStand / LabVIEW / Python, making power (high and low voltage) electrical component selection (data acquisition systems, controls, etc.), and implementing the test automation processes with automated report generation.

Key Responsibilities And Accountabilities

• Design and apply test methods with tools like LabVIEW, TestStand, Python, and other appropriate software or hardware to ensure accurate production testing of power electronics products, including transformers, power distribution units, static transfer switches, power meters, and UPS systems.
• Store test results in the SQL database and manage data for subsequent processing.
• Evaluate test automation requirements, select appropriate electrical circuit components, develop desktop applications in Python or interfaces using LabVIEW and TestStand, and implement the test automation process with results systematically stored in a database.
• Investigate and troubleshoot issues during testing, identifying root causes and proposing effective solutions to address identified challenges.
• Design and develop wiring diagrams or tester schematics using Altium.
• Stay updated on emerging trends and advancements in test automation and software development techniques, actively incorporating relevant technologies into the design process to enhance system performance and efficiency.  Ex. Grafana dashboards, quality metrics.
• Document test details, results and findings in technical reports and presentations for internal and external stakeholders, ensuring clear communication of complex concepts and outcomes. Also generate test reports automatically from the testing tools / desktop application for end users.
