Advanced EV’s Design Concept Engineering team is looking for a Senior Hardware Validation Engineer. In this high-impact role, you will define the validation strategy and technical roadmaps for complex mechatronic hardware across multiple vehicle product lines. You will not only oversee the bring-up of sophisticated test environments but also influence the foundational design for testability (DFT) and reliability across the enterprise. You will bridge the gap between mechanical, electrical, and systems engineering, ensuring that our hardware architectures are robust, scalable, and validated to the highest rigorous standards.
