  • Single fault condition testing
• Develop and execute verification and validation test protocols
• Troubleshoot electrical safety test failures and support root cause investigations
• Partner with R&D teams to implement corrective actions and design improvements
• Review schematics and technical documentation to support product testing activities
• Work directly with third-party testing laboratories and certification organizations
• Document test results, findings, and recommendations
• Support product development teams throughout the verification and certification process

• Working through certification challenges with engineering teams
