Join our dynamic teams designing and developing next-gen energy technologies and help drive a sustainable future!

We're looking for a skilled software developer lead to establish and maintain our software development processes using a framework, ensuring high-quality product delivery and efficient team collaboration. The ideal candidate will have experience in developing and implementing software frameworks for hardware manufacturing test, setting up development workflows, version control, and issue tracking.

Enphase has multiple high-volume manufacturing and test setups globally. You will support the manufacturing test setup globally and ensure they meet the highest reliability and quality standards in the industry. You will work closely with all production sites to monitor, maintain, and improve test hardware and software. You will also work with the NPI and design teams to successfully introduce new products into production.

The job consists of understanding, supporting, and improving the test technology, strategy, hardware, and software to be deployed at Enphase’s various production facilities. Enphase’s products often carry a relatively long warranty in the field; therefore, our manufacturing process and test must support the quality required. This often results in unique product features, disciplined manufacturing processes, and rigorous testing.
