About the role

Validation & Verification Lead at ZOLEO building hardware verification capability for connected devices. Collaborate across hardware, firmware, and mobile platforms for seamless product delivery.

Responsibilities

Create requirement-mapped test plans that provide clear visibility into readiness at EVT, DVT, and PVT.
Collaborate with the Hardware Systems Lead on gate criteria and own the test readiness report presented at CDR and FDR.
Collaborate with the E2E Integration Engineer and Director of Hardware to define, procure, and deploy HIL benches, automated regression suites, and CI integration gates.
Own the contract test suite that gates app and firmware release across supported hardware SKUs, pre-screen releases to protect in-market products.
Design and pre-run campaigns such as thermal stress, ESD, and RF coexistence testing to reduce late-stage rework and field escapes.
Work with accredited external labs and internal stakeholders to support FCC, IC, CE, and other certification activities.
Build reusable test assets across the organization, including test plans, golden unit specs, and bench configurations.

5+ years in hardware validation, reliability, or test engineering in a consumer electronics, IoT, or connected device environment.
Experience building or operating automated test benches or HIL environments.
Working knowledge of RF systems, wireless protocols, and coexistence considerations in connected devices.
Experience supporting FCC, IC, CE, or RCM submissions is a strong asset.
Familiarity with mobile regression testing and device–software compatibility management.
Proficiency with structured failure analysis methods such as 8D, FMEA, or equivalent.
