Test Engineers – Electronics – Kongsberg

Our Team: The Electronics product team works with R&D and Product Life Cycle Management (PLM) of a wide range of product and system technologies, including Subsea Electronic Modules (SEM), Topside Electronic Modules (TEM), motor drives, battery modules, power supplies, functional safety products, downhole interfaces, computers, communication, and networking. These technologies are integral to various control system applications.

Your Role: In the Electronics environment, you will be involved in the design, development, qualification, system integration, production, and support of products throughout commissioning and field operation. Our multidisciplinary product environment includes HW, SW/FW, system, test, mechatronics, and production engineering teams working closely together. We are looking to hire early-career Electronics Test Engineers and Senior Test Engineers focused on power, control, and monitoring electronics for our Hardware Testing team.

Key Competencies:

• Basic knowledge of analog and digital electronics, AC-DC, DC-DC converters, battery controllers, chargers, controller modules, sensor interfaces (RS4xx, CAN), communication, and networking. 
• Experience with lab test equipment (multimeters, oscilloscopes, power supplies, function generators, spectrum analyzers, communication analyzers for CAN, Ethernet) and hand tools and power tools. 
• Experience with EDA CAD tools like Altium, ORCAD, or equivalent. 
• Ability to create test plans for validation of designs and test methodology to verify product performance. 
• Familiarity with scripting (Python, MATLAB, etc.) for automation of test data acquisition and analysis. 

Main Tasks:

• Create test procedures and write test reports on functional, environmental, and system operation mode testing of custom electronic designs. 
• Build test setups for functional verification of electronic boards such as power supplies, power switches, CPU/MCU boards, power line modems, backplanes, motor controllers, battery controllers, chargers, and I/O modules. 
• Establish setups with automation to conduct environmental testing of electronics with temperature and mechanical exposure stress. 
• Perform qualification testing of electronics according to API 17F for Subsea Control System Electronics compliance. 
• Collaborate with board developers to secure Design For Test (DFT) requirements in products to implement testability in the product designs. 
• Work together with developers and reliability engineers to build Accelerated Life Time Testing (ALT) to create lifetime predictions. 
• Conduct failure analysis of critical failures in engineering, production, and field operation to improve product design and test coverage
