One device alone brings comprehensive sensing & monitoring, dynamic voltage-, power factor- and harmonics control capabilities. But a network of them, coordinated by our digital platform, unlocks systemic responsiveness as the energy system transitions.

• Develop and implement test plans that align with product development phases, regulatory requirements, and project timelines for power conversion systems and HIT-related hardware.
• Plan and execute comprehensive testing activities including but not limited to: PCB functional tests, design proving tests, system integration tests, environmental tests, and FAT.
• Conduct hands-on testing using laboratory equipment to validate, characterise, or troubleshoot our hardware products.
• Create and maintain test documentation including test plans, test procedures, test specifications, and detailed technical reports.
• Perform electrical safety, EMC, and compliance testing for high-voltage and high-power systems, ensuring alignment with relevant standards (LVD, EMC, grid connection codes, CE, UL) and preparing systems for external certification.
• Troubleshoot and diagnose hardware and system-level issues uncovered during testing, working closely with mechanical, embedded software, and systems engineers to identify root causes and support corrective actions.
• Occasionally support field testing and commissioning activities at customer, partner, or pilot sites, ensuring that systems operate safely and meet performance specifications in real-world grid environments.
• Lead and maintain high laboratory standards, including organisation, housekeeping, data management, inventory control, and equipment calibration, in collaboration with the leadership team, to uphold EHS compliance.
• Actively participate in design reviews and technical discussions across the multidisciplinary hardware team, providing test perspectives on design decisions, manufacturability, and validation feasibility.
• Develop and optimise test tooling and automation where appropriate to improve test efficiency, repeatability and coverage whilst maintaining rigor.
• Ensure test cases are developed based on project scope and design requirements, and maintain testing reports and evidence for quality and audit purposes.
• Champion continuous improvement in testing processes, suggesting enhancements to increase efficiency and effectiveness as our product portfolio scales.

Test and Validation Engineer

Test and Validation Engineer at IONATE developing and validating test strategies for power electronics systems and hardware. Collaborate with multidisciplinary teams to ensure high standards of product performance and safety.

full-stack-engineer

• Develop embedded software for grid-connected inverters.
• Design and implement real-time firmware from scratch for ARM Cortex-M microcontrollers; manage memory, peripherals, interrupts, and debug low-level issues.
• Develop bare-metal and RTOS-based applications; reason about latency budgets, interrupt priorities, and timing edge cases in real-world deployments.
• Implement real-time platforms where to deploy control algorithms and closed-loop firmware that operate within hard timing constraints and safety requirements for grid-connected applications.
• Bring up new hardware platforms: configure peripherals, integrate sensors and actuators, validate functionality, and document the integration process.
• Troubleshoot firmware–hardware faults in test rigs and in the field; reproduce issues, analyse logs, and deliver robust fixes without disrupting future deployed systems.
• Work closely with hardware engineers, power electronics specialists, control engineers, and systems teams to define interfaces, timing budgets, and validation strategies.
• Participate actively in code reviews, design discussions, technical analyses and help raise the standard of the codebase.
• Contribute to safety and quality processes: able to identify regulatory standard compliance and ensure firmware aligns accordingly, maintain traceability, and document design decisions and test evidence.
• Create and maintain technical documentation including requirements, design specifications, test reports, and architecture notes.
• Work within clear timescales to deliver projects on time with ambitious product goals.
