$29 - $38 USD yearly
Originally posted 23 September 2026 by the employer.
This role involves performing grid compliance testing of distributed energy resources (DERs), such as solar inverters and battery energy storage systems.
About the role
This role involves performing grid compliance testing of distributed energy resources (DERs), such as solar inverters, battery energy storage systems, and electric vehicles, using Keysight hardware and software.
What you'll do
- Perform hands-on testing of distributed energy resources (DERs), including inverters and batteries, using Keysight hardware and software platforms.
- Execute IEEE 1547.1 and other grid compliance test procedures.
- Configure test setups, operate laboratory equipment, collect test data, and maintain test documentation.
- Troubleshoot test failures and unexpected results, analyze findings, and communicate results to the engineering team.
- Collaborate with engineers, software developers, and software qualification teams to improve product quality and test efficiency.
What you'll need
- Currently pursuing a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Power Systems Engineering, Renewable Energy, or a related field.
- Strong foundation in electrical engineering principles, including power systems, three-phase power, protection, controls, and power electronics.
- Genuine interest in hands-on laboratory work.
- Self-motivated and able to work independently while collaborating effectively within a multidisciplinary engineering team.
- Strong attention to detail, organization, and commitment to engineering quality and safety.
Nice to have
- Familiarity with distributed energy resources (DERs), including solar inverters, battery energy storage systems, and grid-connected power conversion equipment.
- Knowledge of grid interconnection standards and test procedures such as IEEE 1547, IEEE 1547.1, UL 1741 SB, or similar industry standards.
- Experience working with laboratory instrumentation and measurement equipment, such as oscilloscopes, power analyzers, data acquisition systems, programmable power sources, or electronic loads.
- Experience with test automation, scripting, or software-based control of test systems using tools such as Python, MATLAB, OpenTAP, or similar platforms.
- Exposure to .NET/C# programming and development environments.
