System Engineer – Power Electronic Converters

Role Overview

• Develop and execute system-level test strategies for power electronic products, including planning, preparation and execution of approval, type and acceptance tests, as well as analysis and interpretation of results to support product release decisions and Product Management
• Analyze and post-process test data using AVL tools, generating reports in line with defined performance criteria and datasheets
• Provide technical support to Product Management in complex projects by delivering insights from testing and validation activities
• Prepare and update service-related documentation and technical information to ensure smooth operation and handling of AVL devices on-site
• Support installation, commissioning and service teams through on-site participation in early or lead customer projects, as well as remote technical assistance
• Act as 3rd-level support by analyzing complex technical issues, coordinating with development teams and ensuring structured problem resolution
• Perform failure analysis and drive structured problem-solving processes (QDARs, NPTIPs, 8D reports)
• Provide customer and application feedback to development teams to support continuous product improvement
• Collaborate closely with device production (mainly Graz, Austria) and cross-functional development teams
• Integrate and test different AVL systems (e.g. battery testers with automation systems such as AVL PUMA)
• Set up, configure and parameterize automation systems, including communication protocols (e.g. CAN, EtherCAT, Ethernet), interfaces, measurement and data acquisition modules, as well as auxiliary equipment such as power distribution and HVAC systems
