Responsibilities
- Construct simulation setups, validation software, and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing systems to assess system stability, controller effectiveness, and operational preparedness in realistic scenarios.
- Build software tools and simulation platforms that test control logic under full operational ranges, including failures, communication lags, and hardware malfunctions.
- Design and manage automated testing workflows to enhance efficiency, consistency, and reporting in validation processes.
- Develop scalable validation methods to support expanding microgrid deployments.
- Collaborate with control, power systems, and utility teams to define test scenarios, cases, and performance benchmarks.
- Validate controller responses during standard operations and unexpected system events.
- Define measurable performance indicators and acceptance standards to determine system readiness.
- Use field data to refine simulation accuracy and uncover rare or untested conditions.
- Integrate real-world insights into regression testing to expand validation coverage over time.
- Assist in diagnosing root causes and validating fixes for performance issues in deployed systems.
- Enhance and manage lab-based validation infrastructure, including HIL systems and test hardware.
- Diagnose and resolve problems with test equipment, simulation tools, and validation procedures.
- Maintain well-organized records of test assets, results, requirement traceability, and technical documentation.
