  • Establish common test standards, procedures, and acceptance criteria for:
    • Design Verification Testing (DVT)
    • Reliability and environmental testing (in coordination with Quality and Reliability teams)
    • Automated testing
  • Define product release test requirements and ensure alignment with DFMEA, PFMEA, and reliability expectations.
  • Drive consistency in test planning, execution, reporting, and traceability across businesses and regions.

Design Verification Testing (DVT) Leadership
  • Own the DVT methodology and governance model, including test scope definition, readiness criteria, and exit criteria.
  • Coordinate DVT execution across LoBs and regions, ensuring alignment to Vertiv standards.
  • Ensure DVT results are effectively correlated with simulation data, historical performance, and field feedback.

Test Automation
  • Directly lead the Core Engineering Test Automation team.
  • Define and execute the test automation roadmap for product validation and regression testing.
  • Drive increased adoption of automation in both engineering validation and manufacturing test environments.
  • Promote reuse of automation frameworks, tools, and test assets across product families.

Manufacturing Test Collaboration
  • Partner closely with Manufacturing Engineering to:
    • Define Design for Test (DFT) requirements early in product development.
    • Align engineering test strategies with End-of-Line (EOL) and factory acceptance testing.
    • Ensure smooth transition from engineering validation to production test.
  • Support continuous improvement of manufacturing test coverage, efficiency, and robustness.

Certification & External Relationships
  • Serve as the primary Core Engineering interface to external certification agencies (e.g., UL, IEC, CE).
  • Coordinate certification test strategies, scheduling, and technical alignment across LoBs.
  • Ensure engineering test plans anticipate and support certification requirements.
  • Maintain strong working relationships with third-party test houses and certification partners.

Governance, Metrics & Continuous Improvement
  • Establish KPIs and dashboards for test effectiveness, cycle time, coverage, and automation maturity.
  • Identify gaps, redundancies, and inefficiencies in current testing approaches and drive corrective actions.
  • Support Vertiv Operating System (VOS) initiatives related to quality, speed, and cost.

Scope & Authority
  • Global testing standards ownership; no direct ownership of lab facilities or daily lab operations
  • Direct management of the Core Engineering Test Automation team
  • Influences product release decisions through test readiness and results

Requirements:
  • Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Systems Engineering (required)
