About the role
- Own, define, architect, implement and execute the automation of either FW DVT or System DVT using Python and other scripts and languages.
- Define and document test strategy, test plans and test architecture.
- Provide technical leadership to junior engineers on automating and executing DVT.
- Execute functional, performance and compliance DVT of FW and SYS DVT manually as required.
- Work with FW, HW and System Engineering teams to gather detailed requirements and plan test strategy and test plan ahead of test cycles.
- Understand consumer behaviors and design engineering requirements and conduct DVT for both ends of the DVT spectrum.
- Collaborate with HW, FW and other teams to help reproduce and debug issues without getting biased with design details but exhibit independence in DVT.
- Use productivity tools like JAMA for creating and maintaining test cases and test runs linked with requirements; report issues through JIRA and track them to closure.
- Follow the process as required for the given test cycle and make sure KPIs like test execution rate and defect leakages are met.
- Device test coverage to ensure Enphase products qualify only after meeting quality, performance, safety and reliability benchmarking.
- Be a DVT engineer who protects Enphase customer interests by living in 'customer's shoes'.
- Develop test automation system to enable FW/System testing automatically and continuously improve test execution rate by increasing automation and reducing manual tests.
