👇 Responsibilities

• Define and lead hardware validation strategies across EVT, DVT, PVT, and production stages, ensuring test coverage, repeatability, and traceability of results.
• Design, review, and maintain AQL-based test and validation frameworks , balancing statistical rigor with practical execution.
• Architect test jigs and fixture s (mechanical, electrical, and software) that enable scalable and automated validation in both R&D and manufacturing lines.
• Oversee development of test automation software (Python, LabVIEW, Jenkins, C/C++ embedded agents), establishing best practices for automation, logging, and analytics.
• Plan and execute qualification test campaigns : functional, stress, accelerated life, environmental (thermal, vibration, humidity), burn-in, and endurance testing.
• .Lead certification readiness and compliance : interface with CE, EMC, LVD, and other regulatory bodies; define pre-compliance procedures; ensure lab coordination and documentation.
• Conduct and mentor others in root cause failure analysis (RCFA) and FME A; drive CAPA processes and reliability improvement programs.
• Develop and maintain a reliability metrics dashboard (yield, MTBF, defect density, regression coverage) and use it to guide design feedback loops.
• Collaborate with design, firmware, optical, and operations teams to embed Design for Testability (DFT) and Design for Reliability (DFR ) principles early in product architecture.
• Support manufacturing and production test strategy : define in-line and end-of-line (EOL) test procedures, assist contract manufacturers in fixture setup, and lead factory validation ramp-up.
• Establish and maintain QA documentation systems , ensuring process control, traceability, and readiness for audits or certifications.
• Mentor and develop QA engineers, spreading best practices and raising the technical bar across the organization.

• Strong proficiency in test automation and scripting (Python, Bash, LabVIEW, Jenkins pipelines, or equivalent).
• Solid understanding of embedded systems interfaces and protocols (SPI, I2C, UART, USB, CAN, Ethernet) and hardware/firmware integration debugging.
• Expertise with statistical quality control (AQL, DOE, SPC) and reliability testing (ALT, HALT, HASS, MTBF modeling).
• Experience managing compliance and certification testing (EMC, LVD, CE, FCC, UL, RoHS, REACH).
• Strong command of root cause analysis, FMEA, and CAPA methodologies, with hands-on experience leading resolution cycles.
• Excellent documentation, analytical, and communication skills – you write validation reports others can build standards from.
• Familiarity with hardware reliability standards (IPC-A-600, IPC-610, IPC J-STD-001) and environmental test standards (IEC 60068, IEC 61000 series ).
• Nice-to-haves
• Experience designing and scaling manufacturing test systems (ICT, FCT, EOL).
• Experience working with contract manufacturers or OEM/ODM partners.
• Knowledge of reliability qualification programs (JEDEC JESD22, MIL-STD-810, or equivalent).
• Exposure to APQP, PPAP, ISO 9001 , and other structured quality systems.
• Strong ability to define validation metrics, dashboards, and process KPIs.
• Experience in regulated or high-reliability domains (automotive, medical, aerospace, industrial automation).
• A systems-level thinker: able to connect component failures to architectural design decisions.
