  manual or automated test procedures
  for validation of electronic components, power modules, and control units.
• Perform
  electrical, thermal, and functional measurements
  on prototypes and production samples.
• Analyze test results and
  prepare detailed technical reports
  , highlighting deviations, anomalies, and improvement opportunities.
• Collaborate with the design team to
  identify and resolve hardware and system integration issues
  .

2. Product Development Support

• Provide
  technical input
  on testing requirements during the product specification phase (AC/DC EVSE).
• Participate in the
  characterization and qualification
  of new electronic components, sensors, and power or control modules.
• Support validation of
  communication and control functionalities
  (e.g., CAN, Modbus, OCPP, ISO
• Contribute to
  electrical, environmental, and safety qualification
  according to relevant standards (IEC, EN, UL).

3. Laboratory Management

• Manage and maintain
  laboratory equipment and instrumentation
  (power supplies, oscilloscopes, electronic loads, network analyzers, EV simulators).
• Ensure compliance with
  electrical safety procedures and good laboratory practices
  .
• Coordinate testing activities both
  internally and with external laboratories or certification bodies
  , when required.

Requirements and Skills:

Education:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in
  Electronics Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or Mechatronics
  (or equivalent).
• A technical diploma with significant hands-on experience will also be considered.

Technical Skills:

• Solid understanding of
  power electronics principles
  (AC/DC converters, inverters, PWM control, filters, protection circuits).
• Ability to
  design and operate test benches
  for power and control circuits.
• Experience with
  electrical measurement equipment
  (oscilloscopes, multimeters, power analyzers, electronic loads, network analyzers).
• Knowledge of
  EVSE architectures (AC/DC)
  and relevant standards (IEC 61851, ISO 15118, CHAdeMO, CCS).
• Familiarity with
  communication protocols
  used in energy and automotive systems (
  CAN, Modbus, TCP/IP
  ).
• Experience with
  automated testing tools or scripting
  (Python, LabVIEW, or similar) is a plus.
• Understanding of
  electrical safety and EMC standards
  .

Soft Skills:

• Analytical and detail-oriented approach.
• Strong teamwork and communication skills within
  multidisciplinary environments
  (hardware, software, systems).
• Self-motivated, organized, and capable of managing multiple test activities.
• Effective technical reporting and documentation abilities.
• Curiosity and a practical attitude toward experimentation and problem-solving.

Role Objectives (First 12 Months):

1. Design and implement
   test benches
   for AC/DC EVSE and V2G controller validation.
2. Support
   product validation and certification
   activities (performance, safety, communication).
3. Collaborate with the development team to improve
   hardware reliability and robustness
   .
4. Develop and standardize
   testing and validation procedures
   for R&D and production use.

Preferred Experience:

• Previous experience in
  power electronics
  or
  embedded hardware testing
  .
• Background in
  e-mobility
  ,
  smart grid
  , or
  renewable energy systems
  .
• Familiarity with
  hardware/software environments
  or automated test setups.

What We Offer:

• Opportunity to work on
  innovative technologies
  in EVSE, V2G, and Virtual Power Plant fields.
• Collaborative environment with an international (Italy, France, US), multidisciplinary team of innovators.
• Access to
  advanced laboratory equipment
  and cutting-edge tools.
