Job description

You’ve discovered something special. A company that cares. Cares about leading the way in construction, engineering, manufacturing and renewable energy. Cares about redefining how energy is designed, applied and consumed. Cares about thoughtfully growing to meet market demands. And ─ as “one of the Healthiest 100 Workplaces in America” ─ is focused on the mind/body/soul of team members through our Culture of Care.

Faith Technologies Inc. (FTI) is searching for an Advanced Test Engineer to support power generation products for the Product team. This position can be remote or hybrid if you are near an FTI location, with travel involved.

This role is a high-impact, strategic position designed for a technical expert who can bridge the gap between customer requirements and operational excellence. As the Global Subject Matter Expert (SME), you will define the standards for how power generation systems are setup and validated across the organization.

The Advanced Global Test Engineer is responsible for the end-to-end lifecycle of testing processes for complex power generation and power distribution systems. This includes initial customer consultation, equipment specification, protocol development, and global site support. You will serve as the primary technical authority, ensuring that testing methodologies are standardized, automated where possible, and integrated seamlessly into the broader manufacturing and quality ecosystems.

Minimum Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree in a core engineering discipline - Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, or Energy Engineering.
• Minimum: 5+ years of experience in Testing Engineering or relevant roles
• Expertise in automated test software (e.g., LabVIEW, Python, or PLC-based testing).
• Deep understanding of power electronics, grid simulators, and load banks.
• Strong knowledge of communication protocols (Modbus, CANbus, Ethernet/IP).

Travel

Approximately 25% annually. Travel is project-based and may occur in concentrated periods, such as extended travel during installation, commissioning, or project phases, followed by periods with minimal travel. Most travel occurs during the workweek, with team members returning home on the weekends.

Work Schedule

This role can be hybrid or remote based on your location. This position works between the hours of 7 am and 5 pm, Monday through Friday. Ability to work a flexible schedule is necessary.

Applicants must be authorized to work for ANY employer in the U.S. We are unable to sponsor or take over sponsorship of an employment Visa at this time other than the TN1 Visa (Canadian).

Key Responsibilities

Customer Consultation & System Specification

• Collaborate directly with customers to interpret technical requirements and translate them into robust testing strategies.
• Define, develop, and write technical specifications for advanced testing equipment tailored to power generation applications.
• Lead the selection and procurement of high-precision instrumentation and hardware for global deployment.

Protocol & Script Development

• Design and develop comprehensive test scripts and automated sequences to validate system performance and safety.
• Author detailed test protocols (FAT/SAT) and validation plans that comply with international power industry standards.
• Iterate on testing logic to improve cycle times while maintaining maximum fault-detection sensitivity.

Systems Integration & Data Analytics

• Architect and implement system integrations between testing hardware and internal databases (MES, ERP, or PLM).
• Develop automated test reporting requirements and dashboards to provide real-time visibility into quality metrics.
• Ensure data integrity and traceability across all global testing platforms.

Global SME & Operational Support

• Serve as the Global Subject Matter Expert (SME) for all testing-related queries and initiatives.
• Provide Tier-3 technical support to local site teams to resolve complex or “unsolvable” testing failures.
• Standardize testing processes across global sites to ensure consistency in product quality and data output.
• Mentor and train site-level engineers on new equipment, protocols, and troubleshooting techniques.
• Performs other related duties as required and assigned.
