Quality Engineering S

Position Summary:
The Test Engineer is responsible for overseeing the final test department by executing, analyzing, and maintaining electrical and mechanical test processes for medium and high-voltage power cables. This role ensures products meet applicable standards, customer specifications, and internal quality requirements through rigorous testing, data analysis, and process control.
Key Responsibilities
Supervision : responsible for Supervision of the Final Test operators as well as technical (hands-on testing and diagnostics) and procedural (ensuring cables are tested per specification and industry standards).
Testing and Validation: perform electrical testing, including:

Partial Discharge (PD) testing
AC Withstand testing
Insulation resistance and continuity testing
Conduct mechanical and physical tests:
Tensile strength and elongation
Dimensional verification
Validate cable performance against applicable industry standards (UL 1072, ANSI/ICEA S-97-682, ANSI/ICEA S-94-649, AEIC CS8)
Process Control & Quality Assurance:
Ensure adherence to documented quality control procedures and test methods
Monitor critical test parameters and identify deviations or anomalies
Support nonconformance investigations and corrective actions (RCA, CAPA)
Maintain traceability of test results to material lots and production runs
Equipment & Calibration:
Set up, operate, and troubleshoot high-voltage test equipment
Ensure all test instruments are calibrated and maintained per schedule
Assist in validation and commissioning of new test systems.
Data Analysis & Reporting:
Record, analyze, and interpret test data for compliance and trends to ensure Certified Test Reports are completed on time.
Support internal audits and customer inspections with accurate documentation.
Continuous Improvement:
Identify opportunities to improve test efficiency, accuracy, and repeatability
Support implementation of new testing methods or technologies
Collaborate with engineering and production teams to resolve quality issues
Education
~ AS/BS degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field (Equivalent experience in cable testing environments may be considered)

Experience

• 1-3 years in cable manufacturing, high-voltage testing, or related field
• Hands-on experience with MV/HV cable testing (PD, AC withstand preferred)
• Familiarity with industry standards ((UL 1072, ANSI/ICEA S-97-682, ANSI/ICEA S-94-649, AEIC CS8)

Skills Required
Detail-oriented with strong analytical thinking
Effective communication with cross0functional teams and stakeholders
Ability to work independently and in cross-functional teams
Strong understanding of electrical test principles and insulation systems (XLPE, EPR)
Experience with high-voltage test equipment and safety practices
Ability to read and interpret technical specifications and test standards
Working knowledge of quality systems (ISO 9001 preferred)
May require shift work or overtime based on production demands
~ In summary, This role bridges engineering, quality, and production , ensuring every cable released has been validated electrically, mechanically, and procedurally before reaching the customer.
