Job Summary

We are looking for a junior engineer focused on power electronics and failure detection processes for renewable energy converters.

Position: Junior Diagnostic & Reliability Engineer Renewable Power Systems

Work Model: Full-time On-site (Laboratory-based)

About the Role:

Join our hardware reliability team to uncover the root causes behind electrical and electronic anomalies in renewable energy conversion this role you will bridge theoretical engineering and hands-on laboratory investigation examining everything from discrete board-level components to high-power converter stages to ensure our clean energy technology operates without disruption.

Key Contributions:

  • Lead diagnostic laboratory workflows to evaluate damaged power boards passive/active components and converter modules.

  • Formulate scientific hypotheses explaining anomalies validating your assumptions through controlled fault replication and bench testing.

  • Operate standard instrumentation (digital storage oscilloscopes precision DMMs variable power supplies curve tracers) to capture electrical signatures and transients.

  • Analyze circuit schematics operational telemetry logs and part datasheets to trace failure propagation paths.

  • Prepare structured technical documentation summarizing diagnostic steps evidence gathered underlying mechanisms and corrective design proposals.

  • Liaise with third-party testing centers external failure-analysis labs and component vendors when advanced materials analysis or vendor insight is needed.

Candidate Profile:

  • Academic background (. / .) in Electrical Electronic or Power Electronics Engineering.

  • Prior exposurevia academic projects university lab research internships or early career rolesto electronic hardware testing diagnostics or quality assurance.

  • Working grasp of analog/digital circuitry power devices and schematic interpretation.

  • Sound laboratory fundamentals: safe handling of high/low voltage setups measurement instrumentation and experimental protocol.

  • Analytical curiosity: a passion for uncovering the underlying mechanism of a breakdown rather than merely replacing a damaged part.

  • Professional fluency in English (capable of drafting technical summaries and discussing findings in cross-border teams).

  • Willingness to work on-site as the position relies directly on benchtop testing and physical hardware inspection.
