JD-Inverter System Validation Engineer
Be part of a team that designs, develops and integrates highly complex and advanced inverter for electrical Cooling system within Garrett Advancing Motion organization. You will participate in the development and certification of product functionality across multiple programs. This will enable you to support new products, processes, standards or operational plans within the organization's business strategies, with a direct impact on business unit/function overall results.
Apply engineer knowledge, tools, and principals to develop new innovative systems
Grow and develop your technical knowledge in a team-based culture focused on innovation and customer satisfaction
Drive continuous improvement and lead change in a premiere organization
YOU MUST HAVE:
College or Bachelor ’s degree in Electrical Engineering, or Automation engineering ;
Develop and document detailed VFD(Variable Frequency Drives) validation test plans (DVP&R - Design Verification Plan & Report) based on product requirements, industry standards (e.g., IEC, UL, CE), and failure mode analysis (FMEA);
Preferred test methodologies for inverter(VFD)-compressor matching, including steady-state, transient, and fault condition testing;
Experience in
VFD performance mapping and efficiency .
Electrical Validation: Input current harmonics (THD), power factor, DC bus stability, EMI/EMC compliance .
Control Algorithm Validation: Start-up/shut-down sequences, speed modulation, load response, thermal protection.
Environmental & Reliability: High/low temperature operation, humidity, vibration, accelerated life testing (ALT), HALT/HASS
Safety & Fault Injection: Testing under grid anomalies (brownouts, surges), compressor stall, overload, and short-circuit conditions
EOL/ATP specification for inverter production ;
Familiar with equipment like : Power analyzer , oscilloscope , insulation analyzer , Current/voltage probes and others
Experience with industrial power electronics and the validation of this.
