Senior Program Validation Engineer

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. You will define the validation roadmap, own system-level release readiness, and drive the decision-making process for release gates. This is a high-visibility role where you will be accountable for the "go/no-go" criteria of releases.

Qualifications

• 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.
• Demonstrated experience owning end-to-end release readiness and formal acceptance processes (e.g., Customer Acceptance Testing).
• Strong ability to synthesize complex requirements into actionable validation plans.
• Exceptional stakeholder management skills—comfortable influencing customers, TPMs, and engineering leads.
• Strong program/project management instincts, with a track record of driving cross-functional alignment.
• 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.
