- 2+ years of hands-on experience in high-voltage film capacitor manufacturing, including winding, impregnation, encapsulation, and high-voltage testing
- Deep knowledge of polypropylene film dielectrics, metallization processes, and partial discharge physics at high field strengths
- Demonstrated experience with vacuum pressure impregnation (VPI) systems and epoxy/resin process chemistry
- Proficiency in high-voltage test methods, including capacitance bridge, tan δ, DC hipot, and partial discharge measurement (IEC 60270)
- Experience establishing or managing a manufacturing quality system (ISO 9001 or equivalent) for electrical components
