Senior System Test Engineer - Electric Vehicles, Energy Storage & Microgrids

Senior Engineer - System Verification & Validation (Electric Vehicles, Battery Management Systems, Microgrids, and OCPP Protocol)

Job Description:
We are seeking an experienced Senior Engineer to join our System Verification & Validation team. This role requires 6-8 years of expertise in Electric Vehicles (EV), Battery Management Systems (BMS), Microgrids, and the Open Charge Point Protocol (OCPP). You will be responsible for designing, developing, and executing testing strategies to validate and verify our innovative solutions, ensuring compliance with industry standards and delivering high-quality systems.

Key Responsibilities:

• System Verification and Validation:

• 
  Develop and execute comprehensive test plans for EVs, BMS, Microgrids, and OCPP-compliant charging systems.

• Conduct system-level and component-level testing to ensure performance, reliability, and safety.

• Implement hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), software-in-the-loop (SIL), and system-level testing methodologies.

• Validate communication and interoperability of charging systems using the OCPP protocol.

• Protocol Testing:

• 
  Test and validate OCPP-compliant EV charging stations and back-end systems.

• Analyze OCPP implementation and performance, ensuring compatibility and seamless integration with charging infrastructure.

• Troubleshooting and Reporting:

• 
  Diagnose and resolve issues in EV, BMS, Microgrid, and charging systems, ensuring robust system performance.

• Provide detailed test reports and feedback to design and development teams.

• Collaboration and Development:

• 
  Work closely with cross-functional teams (R&D, software, hardware) to define requirements and testing strategies.

• Develop automation for testing procedures to enhance testing efficiency and reliability.

• Compliance and Standards:

• 
  Ensure testing aligns with relevant industry standards (e.g., IEC, ISO) and regulatory requirements.

• Validate the system’s compliance with OCPP and other relevant communication protocols (e.g., CAN, Modbus).

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, or a related field.

• 6-8 years of experience in EVs, BMS, Microgrids, and OCPP protocol testing.

• Strong understanding of OCPP, including its implementation and testing in EV charging systems.

• Hands-on experience with communication protocols such as OCPP, CAN, Modbus, and Ethernet.

• Knowledge of power electronics, battery technologies, and energy systems.

• Familiarity with testing tools and diagnostic equipment (e.g., oscilloscopes, protocol analyzers).

• Proficiency in simulation tools like MATLAB/Simulink, LabVIEW.

• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with excellent attention to detail.

• Ability to develop and execute automated test scripts.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in vehicle-to-grid (V2G) systems, renewable energy integration, or energy storage systems.

• In-depth knowledge of IEC, ISO, and other standards relevant to EVs, BMS, and charging infrastructure.

• Understanding of microgrid control systems and energy management.
