- Create and maintain automated test solutions, scripts, and validation tools using Python, LabVIEW, Robot Framework, NI TestStand, or similar.
- Support Continuous Integration / Continuous Testing pipelines to improve test coverage, repeatability, and efficiency.
- Perform troubleshooting, failure analysis, and root-cause investigations for lab, integration, and field issues.
- Prepare and manage technical documentation while following Hitachi Energy values of safety and integrity.

- Strong understanding of electronic schematics, circuit design, simulation, and hardware development tools (e.g., SPICE, Altium, CADSTAR).
- Practical experience with laboratory equipment such as oscilloscopes, power supplies, signal generators, and communication interfaces (fiber optic or copper-based systems).
- Knowledge of HIL, SIL, simulation-based validation, and test setup definition based on requirements and product specifications.
- Experience with test automation and scripting using tools such as Python, LabVIEW, NI TestStand, Robot Framework, or similar; basic C/C++ knowledge is an advantage.
- Familiarity with CI/CD environments (Azure DevOps, Jenkins, GitHub Actions) and continuous testing practices.
- Understanding of quality, reliability, and compliance topics, including DFMEA, EMC, signal/power integrity, product certification, and workplace safety practices.
- Ability to read and interpret electrical and mechanical documentation.
- Self-motivated and collaborative team player with strong communication skills, English at B1 level or higher; ISTQB, LabVIEW certification (CLD), or equivalent practical experience is a plus.
