If you are passionate about advancing a more sustainable future, this is the perfect time to join Enphase!    

 

About the role:
Enphase has multiple high-volume manufacturing and test setups globally and is expanding the footprint in the USA. You will support these manufacturing test setups 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.

•    Coordinating closely with the Mfg. SW Development Team to design and ensure a fault-tolerant test system. 
•    Maintaining, debugging, and supporting the production facilities where the test systems are deployed.
•    Driving closed-loop response to factory and field failures (RMA) by identifying test gaps and opportunities. 

Who you are and what you bring: 
•    B.S/M.S. in Electrical or Electronics Engineering, or other suitable educational background or work experience. 
•    2+ years of experience in an electrical/electronic manufacturing test environment. PCBA testing knowledge (ICT, FT) preferred.
•    Expertise with power electronics.
•    Python programming skills are a plus. 
•    Strong verbal and written communication skills. 
•    Database experience is a plus (SQL or similar)
•    SPC/DOE knowledge.
•    Experience supporting Yield Improvement projects. 
•    Experience improving Manufacturing Test Processes.
•    Experience in monitoring and maintaining Test Systems in a High-Volume Manufacturing Environment.
•    Failure Analysis Techniques.
