converting high-voltage DC to the necessary low-voltage AC/DC required for
onboard electrical loads. I assess parameters such as power output, load
handling capacity, efficiency, and thermal characteristics. Testing also cover’s
various failure modes, such as overloading, short-circuiting, and thermal
shutdown, to ensure the converters' reliability and safety in the field.

5
In the testing process, I work closely with cross-functional teams, including
hardware, software, and system integration specialists, to ensure all aspects of
the system are thoroughly evaluated. Collaboration when identifying and
troubleshooting any issues that arise during testing. For instance, if the VCU
fails to communicate properly with other subsystems or if the auxiliary
converters exhibit performance degradation under load, I am responsible for
diagnosing the root cause of the issue, whether it is hardware- related,
software-related, or a combination of both.

One of my critical tasks is documenting all test results comprehensively. This

includes preparing detailed test reports, logging deviations from expected
performance, and providing recommendations for design or software
adjustments based on the results. These reports are crucial for the ongoing
optimization of the system and ensuring that all equipment meets industry
standards, as well as Crompton Greaves' own internal quality benchmarks. I
am required to suggest improvements or propose upgrades to enhance the
system's overall performance, reliability, and efficiency.

In addition to hands-on testing, I am responsible for maintaining and
