Sr. Electrical Engineer, Test
Location: Delaware, OH
About the Role
Join Vertiv's Product Integrity team as a hands-on engineer who solves hard electrical problems. You'll use advanced measurement and EMI/EMC testing to validate large UPS, static transfer, PDU, and battery/energy storage products, and help engineers across the team find root causes and sound solutions. If you like digging into waveforms and want to be a trusted technical resource in power quality, measurement, and EMI/EMC, this role is for you.
What You'll Do
• Investigate power quality and electrical issues, including harmonics, inrush, transients, generator and grid interactions, UPS transfer and ride-through, and battery and DC bus behavior, and back your conclusions with data.
• Run pre-compliance and troubleshooting EMI/EMC tests on UPS, STS, PDU, and battery/energy storage products: conducted and radiated emissions (FCC Part 15, ICES-003, CISPR, IEC 62040-2) and IEC 61000-4 immunity. Work with designers on fixes, prepare products for formal compliance testing with accredited labs, and maintain EMI calibration and test records.
• Support qualification, DVT, witness, and engineering testing of large UPS systems, plus customer demonstrations and field investigations.
• Advise engineers on test setups, instrumentation, metrology, and data interpretation, and mentor technicians.
• Build analysis tools, templates, and clear reports on findings, risks, and recommendations, using software, automation, and AI tools where they help, validated against measured data.
What You Bring
• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering or Electrical Engineering Technology.
• 6+ years in electrical test, power electronics, or power systems engineering.
• Hands-on EMI/EMC testing experience (conducted and radiated emissions, FCC Part 15 or CISPR), or strong power electronics and EMC fundamentals.
• Hands-on use of power analyzers, oscilloscopes, differential and current probes, CTs, and data acquisition, with a solid grasp of three-phase power, harmonics, power factor, and transients.
• Skill at diagnosing complex electrical problems, and at writing test procedures and reports and presenting results to engineers, management, and customers.
• Safe high-energy test practices (NFPA 70E).
Nice to Have
• Experience with large UPS, static transfer, or battery energy storage systems (such as Vertiv Trinergy, EXL S1, or APM2).
• Qualification, DVT, customer witness, or escalation experience.
• Familiarity with IEC 62040-3, ITIC/CBEMA, and UL and EMC certification testing.
• EMI receivers, spectrum analyzers, LISNs, antennas, near-field probes, or immunity generators.
• Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, or Excel/VBA.
• Master's or PhD in Electrical/Electronics Engineering.
You don't need every item under Nice to Have. If the role fits what you do well, we'd like to hear from you.
