Pay Rate: $65/hr. on 1099 or C2C

Job Summary:

We are seeking an experienced Lead System Integration Test Engineer to support a critical project focused on the integration of a supplier-developed electrical product into a larger system being designed and developed in-house. This role involves the planning, setup, and execution of system integration testing, with an emphasis on validating power monitoring and frequency control functionality.

Key Responsibilities:

Develop a comprehensive test plan for system integration of low-voltage electrical products (under 200 amps).

Lead the setup phase (first 3–4 months) including test environment preparation, instrumentation, and validation setup.

Execute and manage test activities during the following 3–4 months, ensuring thorough documentation of results and issues.

Determine test requirements to validate successful integration between the company’s system and the supplier’s product.

Collaborate with internal Product Management and the supplier’s engineering team to define test cases and align on expected results.

Identify and address integration challenges related to power generation, power transmission, and frequency control.

Utilize P diagrams, boundary diagrams, and DFMEA to analyze potential failure modes and validate system robustness.

Create specifications and test outlines independently - ability to whiteboard and draft from scratch is essential.

Communicate effectively with cross-functional teams to align on system requirements, test coverage, and potential risks.

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s Degree (BSEE) or Associate Degree in Electrical Engineering.

5+ years of hands-on experience in system integration testing, specifically with electrical or power systems.

Strong knowledge of power monitoring, frequency control, and low voltage electrical systems.

Proficiency in test plan development, root cause analysis, and gap analysis using tools like DFMEA.

Familiarity with P diagrams or boundary diagrams to support design validation.

Proven ability to work independently and take ownership of complex testing projects from concept to execution.

Preferred Skills:

Experience in bench testing electrical hardware.

Familiarity with supplier integration workflows and communication.

Exposure to power electronics or energy systems integration.
