Job description

Enphase Energy is a global energy technology company and a leading provider of solar, battery, and electric vehicle charging products. Founded in 2006, our innovative microinverter technology revolutionized solar power, making it a safer, more reliable, and scalable energy source. Today, the Enphase Energy System enables users to make, use, save, and sell their own power. Enphase is also one of the most successful and innovative clean energy companies in the world, with more than 80 million products shipped across 160 countries.

Join our dynamic teams designing and developing next-gen energy technologies and help drive a sustainable future!

This role at Enphase requires working onsite3 days a week, with plans to transition back to a full 5 day in office schedule over time.

About Role :

Enphase has multiple high-volume manufacturing and test setups globally. You will support the manufacturing test setup globally and ensure they meet the highest reliability and quality standards in the industry. You will work closely with all production sites to monitor, maintain, and improve test hardware and software. You will also work with the NPI and design teams to successfully introduce new products into production.

The job consists of understanding, supporting, and improving the test technology, strategy, hardware, and software to be deployed at Enphase’s various production facilities. Enphase’s products often carry a relatively long warranty in the field; therefore, our manufacturing process and test must support the quality required. This often results in unique product features, disciplined manufacturing processes, and rigorous testing.

Responsibilities:

• Working with geographically dispersed teams consisting of Electronics Hardware Engineers, Software Engineers, and Engineering Technicians.
• Supporting changes and upgrades to Enphase production test hardware and software.
• Coordinating with the NPI, Manufacturing and Quality teams at contract manufacturing sites.

• Coordinating closely with the Mfg. SW Development Team to design and ensure a fault-tolerant test system.
• Maintaining, debugging, and supporting the production facilities where the test systems are deployed.
• Evaluating Marketing and Engineering Requirement Documents to develop robust Test Requirements that drive reliability while reducing the cost of test
• Driving closed loop response to factory and field failures (RMA) by identifying test gaps and opportunities

Skills Required:

• B.E/M.Tech. Electrical Engineering Or Electronics Engineering, or other suitable educational background
• 8+ years of experience in Test software development using Python,LabVIEW, C or C++ Experience with hardware design, fixture development, and DFT (Design for Testability) implementation.
• Strong understanding of analog, digital, power electronics, and embedded systems testing.
• Experience in statistical process control (SPC), yield analysis, GR&R, capability studies, and root cause analysis.
• Strong experience inDFMEA (Design Failure Mode and Effects Analysis) development and execution to identify potential product failure modes, assess risk, and implement effective mitigation strategies
• Strong verbal and written communication skills.
• Experience with Version Control and Project Management Tools: Proficient in using JIRA for project management and Bitbucket for version control.
• Familiarity with MES systems, databases, and data analytics tools for production performance monitoring.
• Strong experience inmanufacturing yield analysis, yield improvement, and defect reduction for high-volume production environments.
