System Test & Validation Engineer

You develop a strong understanding of the product, customer use cases, system architecture, operating environment, and technical risks, and translate these into effective validation strategies, test setups, and test campaigns.

The systems you validate combine sensing hardware, embedded software, Edge computing, networking, cloud software, data processing, algorithms, and customer-facing applications. Your role is therefore focused on validating the complete system and ensuring that critical customer workflows work reliably before release.

You work closely with Product, Systems Engineering, Software, Embedded, Hardware, Algorithms, Operations, Manufacturing, and other IVVQ engineers.
