About the role

  • We are looking for a Senior Program Validation Engineer to serve as the technical interface between our customers/TPMs and our domain validation teams.
  • This is a high-visibility role where you will be accountable for the "go/no-go" criteria of releases.

Responsibilities

  • Own end-to-end validation strategy, translating customer requirements into cross-domain validation plans spanning Embedded, UX/HMI, and OTA.
  • Lead system-level Customer Acceptance Testing (CAT), including planning, execution, entry/exit criteria, and release readiness.
  • You will define the validation roadmap, own system-level release readiness, and drive the decision-making process for release gates.

Requirements

  • 5+ years of software or systems validation experience, with exposure spanning multiple technical domains (embedded, UI/UX, cloud/OTA).
  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field
  • Strong ability to synthesize complex requirements into actionable validation plans.
  • Strong program/project management instincts, with a track record of driving cross-functional alignment.
  • Demonstrated experience owning end-to-end release readiness and formal acceptance processes (e.g., Customer Acceptance Testing).
  • Exceptional stakeholder management skills-comfortable influencing customers, TPMs, and engineering leads.
  • Comfortable working across multiple engineering domains without needing deep specialization in every one.

Nice to have

  • Experience with automotive OTA, AUTOSAR/embedded, or HMI validation.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD, release engineering, and requirements management tools (e.g., Jira, Polarion).
  • Technical program management background or relevant certification.
  • Don't meet every single requirement?
