Hardware Validation Engineer Department: Clean Cooking Employment Type: Permanent - Full Time Location: India Reporting To: Director of Hardware Description Job location: Hyderabad About the role: Sun King’s Clean Cooking unit provides pay‑as‑you‑go access to LPG via domestic cylinders, enabled by the proprietary Flow Monitoring and Control Device (FMCD). The FMCD — and the broader family of sensing‑based products — is central to delivering reliable service. The Hardware Validation Engineer ensures product and equipment designs meet defined requirements through rigorous validation testing, clear documentation, and actionable insights for design and manufacturing teams. What you will be expected to do: 1. Design Validation Test Planning & Execution Test Plan Development: Create detailed test plans linking requirements to performance targets, covering reliability, safety, and environmental needs. Test Procedures: Write clear, repeatable, version‑controlled procedures aligned with current design specs. Laboratory Testing: Execute tests, operate equipment, record results, and flag anomalies promptly. Fixture Support: Collaborate with engineering teams to design and validate test fixtures for accuracy and repeatability. Results Analysis: Analyze outcomes, identify failure modes, and report findings with clear pass/fail decisions and recommendations. 2. Documentation, Traceability & Version Control Requirements Traceability: Maintain strong linkage between requirements, test methods, results, and design revisions. Document Control: Own version control for test plans, procedures, and reports, ensuring compliance with configuration standards. Design Change Validation: Assess the impact of revisions and run targeted validation to confirm compliance. Record Management: Keep complete, auditable validation records to support reviews, compliance, and knowledge transfer. 3. Cross‑Functional Collaboration & Partner Oversight Team Collaboration: Work with design, manufacturing, and quality teams to align validation with development milestones and production readiness. Partner Oversight (Satruc): Review and monitor Satruc’s Design Validation Testing programs, ensuring compliance with Sun King standards. Test Readiness Reviews: Confirm fixtures, procedures, calibration, and test articles are in order before campaigns. Failure Investigation: Lead structured root‑cause analysis, document findings, and verify corrective actions. Production Readiness: Provide validation data and sign‑off support for readiness gates, ensuring requirements are met and open items tracked. You might be a strong candidate if you have/are: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Mechatronics, or related engineering discipline, or equivalent experience. 3–5+ years in hardware validation, test engineering, or product verification for products combining mechanical, electronic, and electromechanical components. Familiarity with both functional and environmental testing. Proven ability to write test plans and procedures directly from requirements. Experience designing or supporting test fixtures, jigs, or automated test equipment. Track record of working cross‑functionally with design and manufacturing teams to communicate validation findings. Exposure to partner or supplier oversight in a technical context (reviewing test execution, accepting results, or managing test partners) is a plus. Technical Skills Strong documentation skills: structured, version‑controlled, and traceable to requirements. Working knowledge of requirements traceability and configuration management. Ability to interpret mechanical drawings, BOMs, assembly schematics, and basic PCB schematics. Experience with validation methods: performance, environmental stress (temperature, humidity, vibration), and reliability/life testing. Familiarity with failure evaluation tools such as 5‑Why, Fishbone, or FMEA. Competence in data analysis using Excel or equivalent; CAD tools, data acquisition systems, or Python/SQL are a plus. Familiarity with AI‑supported tools for documentation, test data evaluation, or test script development is a plus. Attributes Rigorous approach to documentation; produces test plans and records to a high standard with minimal review. Detail‑oriented and disciplined in test execution, with sound judgment on when to escalate deviations. Skilled at translating technical findings into clear insights for non‑specialist audiences. Self‑directed and organized, able to manage multiple test programs and set priorities independently. Strong cross‑functional communication skills, effective at the intersection of design, manufacturing, and quality. What Sun King offers: Professional growth in a dynamic, rapidly expanding, high-social-impact industry An open-minded, collaborative culture made up of enthusiastic colleagues who are driven by the challenge of innovation towards profound impact on people and the planet. A truly multicultural experience: you will have the chance to work with and learn from people from different geographies, nationalities, and backgrounds.

Here's how to pick the right one and stand out in your application.
144.883Jobs
31.687IN
81%EN
That number is real. WorkMundi's database shows 144,883 open engineer roles across the world. India has the most with 31,687 jobs, followed by the United States with 30,084. If you just finished reading one job ad and felt paralyzed by choice, you're not alone—but this scale is actually an advantage. It means you can afford to be selective.
Start by geography and language. The majority of engineer ads—117,837 of them—have the job posting text written in English. Use that as one filter, but remember: the ad text language tells you nothing about whether the role actually requires you to speak English day-to-day. Read the job description carefully. Then check which countries have the volume you're targeting. Singapore, Poland, and Australia round out the top five after India and the US.
Next, learn who's hiring. Accenture has posted 2,801 engineer roles. andurilindustries, speechify, and jobgether are also actively recruiting. If you're applying to one of these names, research their hiring patterns and interview style before you apply. That homework pays off.
When you interview, expect the question every engineer hears: 'Tell me about a time you had to debug a problem that wasn't in your job description.' Have a specific story ready—not a general one. Name the tools, the deadline pressure, and what you learned. Hiring managers listen for whether you see problem-solving as part of the role itself, not a favour.
