This role focuses on improving validation efficiency test coverage and repeatability across hardware platforms that include mechanical hydraulic electrical electronic electromechanical firmware and software interfaces.

This engineer will work in close partnership with the Systems Test Engineer to support system-level validation strategies and execution in the hardware domain to support robust product validation and will drive the adoption of automation frameworks. The role will also collaborate with the Software QA lead to align automation approaches for end-to-end functional regression and interface testing where hardware and software interact.

The ideal candidate combines hands-on experience in hardware test automation with strong systems thinking practical troubleshooting ability to build scalable test frameworks benches and tools that support new product introduction and sustaining engineering efforts.

Responsibilities:

Design develop and maintain automated test solutions for hardware components subsystems and integrated products.
Partner with the Systems Test Engineer to support system-level test automation strategy execution and continuous improvement.
Collaborate with the Software QA Lead to align hardware and software test automation for integrated workflows regression coverage and application/interface validation.
Build and improve test frameworks scripts fixtures benches and hardware-in-the-loop environments as appropriate.
Ensure automated test solutions align with product requirements validation plans and system integration needs.
Identify test coverage gaps and implement practical test automation improvements that reduce risk and increase validation completeness.
Support debugging and root cause analysis for failures involving hardware firmware and software interactions.
Contribute to the design and setup of test environments test setups including configurable test racks instrumentation and supporting infrastructure.
Define and track relevant automation and validation metrics such as coverage execution efficiency and defect detection effectiveness.
Document test methods and infrastructure and report results with a high degree of technical rigor.
Provide technical guidance to engineers and technicians using automation tools and test infrastructure.
Incorporate lessons learned from field issues product support feedback and validation results into future test improvements.
Support compliance with applicable safety regulatory and certification requirements during validation activities.
