2. You will build, calibrate, and deploy measurement test systems and advanced sensing technologies (fiber optics measures, accelerometers, strain gauges, DIC). Conduct standardized test execution, and ensure the accuracy, repeatability and traceability of test data in high-voltage and high-mechanical stress environment.

3. You will conduct in-depth analysis of test data, identify design and process failure in transformer mock-ups, and put forward targeted technical improvement suggestions to support R&D project progress. Correlate empirical measurement data with structural FEA simulation to support performance upgrade.

4. You will develop and maintain automated data processing, signal filtering, and post-processing pipelines (utilizing tools as MATLAB or Python) Optimize measurement methods and test procedures in different scenarios, track advanced measurement technologies in the power transformer industry, and promote the improvement of internal R&D testing capabilities.

5. You will cooperate with R&D, design and engineering teams to participate in product performance evaluation, technical review and new product launch verification. Be familiar with test process and equipment operation of power transformers. Comply with IEC, IEEE and other international industry standards for test operations.

6. You will be responsible for ensure compliance with applicable external and internal regulations, procedures, and guidelines.
