Battery Validation Engineer

Execute end-to-end validation for battery systems, charging cases and accessories. Hardware/software testing, automation, root cause analysis and reliability.

Experience: 5-12 years

• The Senior Validation Engineer is responsible for executing and supporting end-to-end validation activities for battery systems, charging cases, and peripheral accessories across product lines. This role involves hands-on testing, failure analysis, and close collaboration with cross-functional teams to ensure that products meet the highest standards of performance, reliability, safety, and regulatory compliance.
• The ideal candidate combines strong technical skills in hardware/software validation with a passion for delivering high-quality consumer electronics.

• Author, own, and execute validation test plans, test specifications, and coverage matrices for battery, charging case, and accessory subsystems — from prototype through mass production.
• Define and refine validation methodologies, test strategies, and coverage criteria.
• Perform system-level hardware and software testing, including performance benchmarking, reliability stress testing, thermal characterization, and safety/regulatory compliance testing.
• Set up and maintain test environments, fixtures, and instrumentation.
• Create comprehensive documentation to enable replication of test environments across different geographical locations.
• Identify, reproduce, and document hardware and software defects using defect tracking tools (e.g., JIRA).
• Lead root cause analysis and drive corrective actions for validation failures and field escapes, collaborating with hardware, firmware, mechanical, and product design engineering teams.
• Develop and maintain test automation scripts (Python or similar) to improve test efficiency and repeatability.
• Drive improvements in test automation frameworks and CI/CD integration for hardware testing.
• Document test results, analyze data, and generate clear validation reports.
• Provide data-driven status updates to engineering management and program leadership.
• Represent the validation team in design reviews and program milestone discussions.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Systems Engineering, Product Design, Operations, and enablement teams.
• Provide technical mentorship and guidance to junior validation engineers.

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics, Computer Science, or a related field. Master's preferred.
• Experience with battery system validation, charging systems, or power management testing.
• Familiarity with wearable and/or hearable product validation.
• 3 to 5+ years of experience in hardware/software validation or test engineering in consumer electronics or related industry.
• Proven ability to author validation plans, test specifications, and coverage matrices.
• Strong experience with root cause analysis techniques and corrective action processes.
• Proficiency in test automation using Python or similar scripting languages.
• Experience with Android or iOS mobile platform testing and debugging tools (e.g., ADB, RTOS etc).

• Track record of delivering validation programs in high-volume consumer electronics environments.
• Experience with automation framework development and CI/CD integration for hardware testing.
• Knowledge of battery safety standards and regulatory requirements (e.g., IEC 62133, UN 38.3, UL 2054).
• Experience with thermal testing, environmental stress screening, and reliability testing (HALT/HASS).
• Hands-on experience with lab instrumentation — power analyzers, oscilloscopes, data acquisition systems, environmental chambers.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to present technical findings to cross-functional audiences.

• Exceptional Communication.
• Stakeholder Management & Client Engagement.
• Proactive.
• Adaptability & Learning Agility.
• Empathy & Customer Focus.
