• Develop and execute test strategies to ensure safety and optimal functionality of Enphase's firmware to meet worldwide standards.
• Design and implement automated test systems in Python and Ruby, enabling continuous integration for the firmware development teams.
• Validate firmware communication interfaces and protocols (e.g., Ethernet/TCP-IP, Modbus/TCP, I2C, SPI, UART, SMBus, and power line carrier) using protocol and logic analyzers.
• Collaborate with hardware and firmware engineers to ensure firmware is designed for unit level test.
• Confer with Quality Assurance, Development, and Product Management on project planning, and ensure effective testing of Enphase's firmware within design constraints.
• Use test automation, power meters, oscilloscopes, DC supplies, and other lab test equipment to ensure complete functional, efficiency, and safety test coverage for Enphase's hardware and firmware.
• Coach and train new members of the technical staff on Enphase's test equipment, procedures, and automation software.
