Support testing of charging session authorization, RFID, remote start/stop, transaction processing, metering, and fault recovery.
Gain exposure to other EV charging technologies and protocols, including OCPI and ISO 15118, as applicable.

3. Electrical, Hardware & Laboratory Testing

Assist with laboratory setup, configuration, commissioning, and testing of EV charging equipment and associated hardware.
Perform supervised electrical and electronic measurements using appropriate laboratory instruments and approved safety procedures.
Support firmware installation, software updates, device configuration, network setup, and troubleshooting.
Investigate charger communication, connectivity, performance, and hardware/software interaction issues.
Assist with testing of charging behavior, power limits, load management, charging profiles, and energy-management functionality.
Maintain laboratory equipment, test configurations, technical records, and documented testing procedures.

4. System Integration, Field Support & Collaboration

Support senior engineering staff during charger integration, system validation, and customer deployments.
Assist with on-site charger commissioning, connectivity verification, testing, and troubleshooting when required.
Work with the EVES development team to understand backend functions and translate technical requirements into test scenarios.
Coordinate with offshore QA teams to reproduce issues, review test results, and support validation of new features and fixes.
Prepare clear test reports, defect documentation, technical findings, and validation records.
Participate in technical investigations and continuous improvement of QA processes, test coverage, and engineering workflows.
Be willing and able to travel and drive to customer locations, charging sites, and partner facilities as needed.

Required Qualifications

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a closely related technical discipline.
0-3 Years of Experience
relevant experience, including internships, academic projects, laboratory experience, or professional engineering/QA work.
Solid understanding of basic electrical and electronic engineering principles.
Fundamental understanding of computer networks, including TCP/IP, Ethernet, Wi-Fi, and client-server communication.
Familiarity with software testing, debugging, verification, or quality assurance concepts.
Basic programming or scripting knowledge, preferably Python or a similar language.
Ability to read technical documentation, analyze system behavior, and troubleshoot technical problems.
Strong attention to detail, documentation skills, and structured problem-solving abilities.
Interest in working with physical equipment and software systems in a hands-on engineering laboratory.
Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-growing engineering company where responsibilities may span multiple technical areas.

Preferred Qualifications

The following qualifications are beneficial but not required:

Academic or profes; sional experience in hardware/software QA, integration testing, or test automation.
