The opportunity

As a

Product Industrial Validation & Certification (PIVC) Manager , you will be responsible for leading the Verification & Validation (V&V;) Center, ensuring that advanced

power electronics products

meet all functional, performance, reliability, and compliance requirements. You will work closely with R&D;, industrialization, quality, and certification bodies to define and execute validation strategies based on cutting-edge methodologies, including

Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL), real-time simulation, and full-scale power testing . This role offers a unique opportunity to drive technical excellence, ensure product robustness, and contribute to the successful deployment of innovative solutions for grid integration and energy transition.

How you’ll make an impact Define and implement the

integral V&V; strategy

across the full product lifecycle Establish comprehensive validation frameworks covering

component, subsystem, and system-level testing Ensure alignment between validation activities, R&D; development, and certification requirements Lead the development and operation of

V&V; laboratory infrastructure , including: Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) systems and real-time simulators Grid emulators and power test benches (MV/LV) Environmental and reliability testing setups Define and execute the roadmap for

test capabilities , focusing on automation, digitalization, and scalability Ensure high availability and optimal utilization of test assets Oversee test planning, execution, and reporting across multiple parallel projects Ensure full

traceability between requirements, test cases, and validation results Supervise system validation activities, including





grid code compliance and dynamic performance testing Collaborate with Quality to define control plans and

process FMEA Identify product risks through rigorous validation campaigns and testing activities Lead root cause analysis and corrective actions for test failures Contribute to improving product

reliability and robustness
