Validation Engineer

Job Description

As a Validation Engineer, you play a key role in the development of advanced mechatronic production equipment. Your responsibility is to determine whether newly developed machine functions deliver the required performance under real operating conditions.

Instead of looking at individual components in isolation, you investigate the behaviour of the complete system. Through experiments, measurements and data analysis, you assess how control, mechanics, electronics and software interact and identify where further optimisation is required.

What will you do?

• Define verification and validation activities for new machine functionality
• Convert technical specifications into measurable test criteria
• Design experiments and create suitable test configurations
• Execute performance tests on prototypes and complex production machines
• Assess dynamic behaviour, positioning accuracy, stability and repeatability
• Collect and interpret measurement data to understand system performance
• Investigate unexpected machine behaviour and determine underlying technical causes
• Analyse the interaction between control algorithms, actuators, sensors, mechanics and software
• Work with multidisciplinary R&D teams to improve system performance
• Translate test findings into recommendations for design improvements
• Provide technical evidence to support qualification and release of new functionality

Your profile

• You hold an MSc or PhD in Systems & Control, Mechatronics, Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a comparable technical discipline
• You have at least 5 years of experience in validation, system testing, control engineering or mechatronic system development
• You have a solid understanding of system dynamics and control principles
• You are experienced in testing and analysing complex machines, motion systems or precision equipment
• You are comfortable setting up experiments and working directly with technical equipment
• You have strong analytical skills and experience interpreting measurement data
• You have experience with MATLAB/Simulink or comparable modelling and analysis tools
• You are able to approach technical challenges from a multidisciplinary, system-level perspective
