Senior Staff Engineer – System Test & Validation

Description

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Act as a key interface between design, manufacturing, sourcing, and quality teams to drive design changes, prototyping, localization, and cost optimization initiatives.
• Lab Operations & Compliance: Establish calibration and preventive maintenance programs for lab instrumentation. Ensure lab operations comply with safety protocols, SOPs, and audit requirements.
• Strategic Test System Development: Lead the design and deployment of scalable, modular test fixtures and infrastructure to validate BOP/BOS components (e.g., sensors, transducers, valves, blowers, compressors, fans, Heat Exchangers) under simulated environmental conditions. Ensure instrumentation and data acquisition systems are optimized for precision and repeatability.
• System Design Expertise: Provide technical oversight on pipe sizing, flow and pressure drop calculations, stress analysis, and material/component selection for test systems and product subsystems.
• Technical Leadership & Innovation: Guide the team in evaluating theoretical designs through structured experimentation, data analysis, and result interpretation. Champion innovation in test methodologies and automation.
• Engineering Documentation & Standards: Review and approve critical documentation including P&IDs, instrumentation loop diagrams, and process hookup diagrams. Ensure adherence to engineering best practices and internal quality standards.
• Test Protocols & Qualification: Define and oversee the development of robust test procedures for qualification, characterization, and reliability testing of mechanical, electromechanical systems and Industrial Instruments/sensors. Ensure alignment with industry standards and regulatory requirements.
• Risk Management & Root Cause Analysis: Lead DFMEA sessions and drive root cause investigations for critical failures. Implement corrective actions and design improvements.
• Mentorship & Capability Building: Mentor junior engineers and technicians. Foster a culture of technical excellence, continuous learning, and process discipline.

Requirements

• Experience with various testing methodologies (Functional, Performance, Reliability, regression, etc.)
• Proficiency in tools such as LabVIEW, MATLAB and data acquisition systems.
• Proven experience in leading cross-functional teams and managing complex test programs.
• Strong expertise in fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, instrumentation, and control systems.
• Bachelor or master degree in Mechanical, Chemical, Instrumentation, or Systems Engineering.
• Excellent analytical, communication, and Team management skills.
