Senior/Staff Hardware Validation Engineer

Define the DV strategy for the vehicle and cascade it into module-level requirements for every ECU, sensor, and electro-mechanical assembly on the vehicle.

Plan and execute full DV campaigns - thermal (operating/storage, thermal shock, thermal cycling), mechanical shock, random and sinusoidal vibration, EMC/EMI (CISPR 25, ISO 11452), IP sealing, and electrical stress/robustness (ISO 16750, ISO 7637, LV 124).

Decide per program whether to run tests at accredited external labs or stand up equivalent capability in-house; own the lab sourcing, HIL/environmental fixture design, instrumentation, and data capture.

Write test plans, reports, and DVP&R documents that tie every test back to a vehicle-level requirement. Track compliance, deviations, and closure with design teams.

Drive root-cause analysis and corrective action on every failure; partner with EE, ME, FW, and Systems to get fixes landed and re-verified.

Work closely with Systems and Functional Safety to ensure DV coverage is consistent with ASIL allocations and safety goals.

Build the test infrastructure and culture from scratch - fixtures, automation, data pipelines, and reporting cadence so DV is a repeatable engine, not a one-off.
