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.
What you will do:
• 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.
• Developing and documenting test system processes and maintenance routines, including calibration, replacement schedule, repeatability test, etc.
• 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.
• Driving closed-loop response to factory and field failures (RMA) by identifying test gaps and opportunities.
