Test Validation Engineering

We build complex, connected scientific instruments that combine embedded software, Linux-based platforms, cloud services, and web applications. This role sits at the system level—where real-world device behavior meets software quality—and ensures our platforms are robust, reliable, and ready for production and field use .

You’ll own system‑level validation across hardware, firmware, backend services, and web interfaces, working closely with product, firmware, software, and manufacturing teams.

System-Level Testing & Validation

Design and execute system-level test strategies for Linux-based IoT and connected instrument platforms

Validate end-to-end workflows across device firmware, edge services, backend APIs, and web UI

Perform functional, integration, regression, performance, and reliability testing

Test system behavior under real‑world conditions (network latency, device failures, power cycling, upgrades, stress scenarios)

Hardware-Software Integration

Validate operation under environmental and operational stress (temperature, vibration, long‑duration runs)

Lead and support cross‑disciplinary root cause analysis involving software, firmware, electronics, and mechanical subsystems

Develop and maintain automated tests at the system, API, and web layers (Python preferred)

Integrate automated tests into CI/CD pipelines to support continuous quality and release readiness

Collaborate with DevOps and development teams on build verification, deployment validation, and pre‑production testing

Manufacturing & Field Support (Collaboration-Oriented)

Support manufacturing and service teams by validating system-level test coverage and diagnostics

Reproduce field and manufacturing issues in lab environments and help drive corrective actions

5+ years of experience in system testing, validation, or quality engineering for complex products

Hands‑on experience with Linux‑based systems , embedded platforms, or IoT devices

Proven ability to validate end-to-end systems spanning hardware and software

Experience with test automation and scripting (Python strongly preferred)

Strong troubleshooting and root cause analysis skills across hardware-software boundaries

Experience testing web applications , APIs, and backend services

Docker or containerized deployments

Exposure to cloud‑connected systems (AWS, Azure, or GCP)

Performance, reliability, or long‑duration system testing

Ownership of system-level quality for a real‑world, high-impact product

Close collaboration with firmware, hardware, software, and product teams

Clear growth path toward senior system or principal‑level engineering roles
