Validation Lead

Job Title: Lead – Systems Test & Validation

Role Overview

We are looking for an experienced engineer to join our Engineering team and take ownership of test and validation efforts for our next-generation autonomous platforms for material and people movement. As Lead – Systems Test & Validation, you will define and drive strategies to ensure our platforms operate safely, reliably, and as intended across diverse environments.

This is a hands-on, system-level role requiring deep technical acumen and close cross-functional collaboration to build structured, scalable test processes. The position is based full-time in Bangalore, with occasional travel for field testing and on-site validation.

Key Responsibilities

• Define and execute test and validation strategies for autonomous platforms
• Build and maintain test frameworks, tools, and setups for system and sub-system validation
• Develop structured test plans with clear coverage metrics tied to system requirements and safety goals
• Ensure traceability across requirements, test cases, and results
• Design and operate test rigs, instrumentation, and data logging setups
• Lead scenario-based testing for autonomy, safety, and failover features in simulation and field environments
• Collaborate with engineering teams for debugging and root-cause analysis
• Develop automated tools for data extraction, analysis, and reporting
• Support validation efforts aligned with industrial safety standards (e.g., ISO 3691-4)

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Computer Science, Mechatronics, or a related field
• 5+ years of experience in system integration, testing, and validation of robotics, automotive, or embedded systems
• Exposure to systems engineering practices, including requirements decomposition, interface definitions, and system-level validation
• Strong grasp of robotics system architecture, including sensors, actuators, compute platforms, and network protocols
• Proficiency in Python or similar scripting languages for test automation and data analysis
• Familiarity with V&V processes, traceability frameworks, and relevant tools
• Excellent communication skills and a field-focused approach to testing and triage
