Define and own the overall QA, verification, and validation strategy across the entire system.
Design and implement scalable testing methodologies, infrastructure, and processes from subsystem validation through full system integration.
Plan and execute testing for complex automated systems spanning software, hardware, and customer-facing interfaces.
Build testing frameworks and automation infrastructure from the ground up.
Translate system architecture and product requirements into comprehensive validation plans and test coverage.
Work closely with Software, Hardware, Electronics, Algorithms, Physics, and Product teams throughout the development lifecycle.
Identify, investigate, document, and drive resolution of complex system issues using structured root cause analysis.
Define quality metrics, release criteria, and continuous improvement processes.
Mentor engineers and promote QA best practices across the organization.
Requirements
5+ years of experience in System QA, Integration QA, Verification & Validation, Test Architecture for complex multidisciplinary systems.
Proven experience defining QA methodologies, validation strategies, and testing infrastructures—not only executing test plans.
