Requirements

Key Responsibilities

Test Planning and Validation

• Develop, review, and execute comprehensive test plans, test cases, and validation procedures based on product requirements and technical specifications.
• Perform functional, performance, reliability, and regression testing to ensure products meet established quality benchmarks.
• Validate hardware components, subsystems, and integrated systems under various operating conditions.
• Identify potential design issues, performance gaps, and product defects during testing and validation activities.
• Ensure testing procedures comply with relevant industry standards, safety requirements, and internal quality guidelines.

Hardware Testing

• Conduct hands-on testing of hardware components, electronic systems, circuit boards, and other relevant devices.
• Set up test benches, configure testing equipment, and perform measurements using appropriate tools and instruments.
• Analyze hardware behavior under different environmental and operational conditions to assess stability and reliability.
• Troubleshoot hardware failures, investigate root causes, and collaborate with design and development teams to implement corrective actions.
• Support prototype testing, design verification, product qualification, and pre-release validation activities.
• Document test results, deviations, defects, and observations to support engineering decisions.

Defect Management and Reporting

• Identify, log, track, and prioritize defects using appropriate issue-tracking systems.
• Perform root cause analysis and work with engineering teams to resolve hardware and system-level issues.
• Retest fixes and conduct regression testing to confirm that corrective actions have been effective.
• Prepare detailed test reports, validation summaries, and technical documentation.
• Maintain accurate records of test configurations, procedures, results, and equipment usage.

Cross-functional Collaboration

• Work closely with hardware design, firmware, software, manufacturing, and quality assurance teams.
• Participate in design reviews, technical discussions, and product validation meetings.
• Provide timely feedback on product performance, test coverage, and areas requiring improvement.
• Contribute to the continuous improvement of testing processes, validation methodologies, and quality standards.

Must-Have Skills

• Strong hands-on experience in Test and Validation methodologies and processes.
• Practical knowledge of Hardware Testing, including functional verification, performance testing, and troubleshooting.
• Ability to develop test cases, execute test procedures, analyze results, and prepare technical reports.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and root cause analysis skills.
• Familiarity with laboratory testing equipment, measurement instruments, and hardware debugging techniques.
• Good communication skills and the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.

Good-to-Have Skills

• Experience with automated testing tools, scripting, or test automation frameworks.
• Familiarity with hardware validation standards, reliability testing, and environmental testing.
• Knowledge of firmware-hardware integration and system-level testing.
• Experience with defect-tracking tools and structured quality management processes.

Qualifications and Experience

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics Engineering, Electronics and Communication Engineering, Instrumentation, or a related technical discipline.
• 2–6 years of relevant experience in hardware testing, test validation, or product verification.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently, manage testing activities, and deliver accurate results within project timelines.
