About

I’m an R&D Test Engineer at Hitec Power Protection, focusing on product validation and type testing of industrial uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems. My daily work includes preparing and executing test setups, adjusting PLC programs to support testing, and configuring network settings like IP addresses within Ethernet/IP environments. Besides testing, I provide technical support to the test team by troubleshooting issues, helping with root cause analysis, and improving test processes and documentation. I work closely with engineering and production teams to ensure our product performs reliably and improvements are made where needed. I’m hands on with the electrical systems of UPS products and enjoy solving practical problems. I’m motivated to keep improving my technical skills and contribute to innovation within the company.
