Test verification and validation engineer for Industrial Control and Power Conversion equipment. Responsible for verifying compliance of new/revised constructions, assisting design and manufacturing with implementing required revisions, and creating, documenting, and executing test plans. Defined, planned and executed off-site testing. Administered UL testing laboratory under UL’s Data Acceptance Program (DAP).
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
• Managed and maintained engineering validation and UL/CE verification and certification for the ArmorStart Distributed Motor Controller product line. These products consisted of various types of communicating motor controllers (variable frequency drives, thyristor-based soft-start controllers, and magnetic motor controllers) packaged into custom IP67/NEMA 4 enclosures with custom electronic circuit boards. Applied following Standards to the product line: UL 508, UL 508C, UL 2237 (subject Standard), EN 60947-1, EN 60947-4-1, EN 60947-4-2, EN 50178, EN 61800-3, and the EN 61000 suite of EMC immunity Standards.
• Developed the validation and certification structure for the Distributed Motor Control Business segment. The structure consisted of the planning, execution and documentation of the validation, verification, and certification testing. Developed data sheets and processes to standardize EN 60947 and EN 61800-3 tests.
• Integral part of design team. Designed and performed tests to verify design solutions. Served as liaison between engineering and certification organizations.
• Identified 13 critical UL tests required for maintaining and modifying the product line. Qualified testing laboratory for these tests under UL’s DAP.
• Strategized and executed off-site UL 508 and EN 60947-4-1 short-circuit evaluation for new product variations. Prepared test plans identifying each required shot with a designated sample and developed alternative plans dependant on test results. (600 VAC, 1 kA – 65 kA, fuses/circuit breakers).
