Embedded Test and Validation Engineer
As a Validation Engineer, you'll work at the intersection of robotics, embedded systems, and next-generation automation. You'll help move innovative technologies from engineering development to production, solve complex technical challenges, and ensure our products perform where it matters most: in the field.
This hands-on role offers meaningful ownership, broad engineering exposure, and the chance to shape how we validate and bring emerging technologies to market.
What You'll Do
Own Product Validation: Develop and execute integration and validation strategies for embedded hardware, software, and firmware, from early prototypes through production readiness.
Solve Complex Engineering Challenges: Investigate hardware, firmware, and communication issues, working closely with multidisciplinary design teams to drive root-cause resolution.
Build and Improve Test Capabilities: Design test procedures, develop fixtures, and enhance laboratory environments to improve verification efficiency and reliability.
Support Manufacturing Scale-Up: Develop production test methods and collaborate with manufacturing partners to ensure consistent quality.
Drive Product Excellence: Identify reliability, performance, and manufacturability improvements through hands-on testing and engineering analysis.
Collaborate Beyond the Lab: Partner with engineering, program management, and customers to support product releases, special deployments, and field investigations.
What You Bring
Required
Degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
2+ years of hands-on integration and validation experience with embedded hardware and software or robotics products.
Strong troubleshooting skills using oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, and laboratory test equipment.
Experience developing and executing requirement-based, HIL- and SIL-based test procedures and documenting technical findings.
Working knowledge of wired and wireless communication technologies, including Ethernet, BLE, Wi-Fi, CAN, or LTE.
Python scripting skills for test utilities, data analysis, and improving test efficiency.
Strong problem-solving, organizational, and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate across technical teams.
Nice to Have
Experience with Jama, TestRail, Jira, or similar engineering tools.
Experience with CAN, CANopen, J1939, or industrial communication systems.
Familiarity with functional safety standards such as IEC 61508 or ISO 26262.
Experience with environmental, reliability, or EMI/EMC testing.
Exposure to manufacturing test processes and production environments.
Compensation & Benefits
Base salary range: $120,000–$150,000, based on experience and location.
