• Design and execute reliability and regression test suites for CIJ printers.
• Conduct ink range and ink compatibility testing — ink-substrate-setting interactions.
• Maintain and improve existing test frameworks, fixtures, and test data documentation.
• Analyse test results, root-cause failures,



and drive corrective actions with cross-functional teams.
• Own test traceability: requirements → test cases → results → defect tracking. B. V&V; Lab Build-Up (New Capability)
• Establish a Verification & Validation lab for Industrial, Consumer, and Medical device product lines.
• Define V&V; strategy, test plans, and protocols aligned with applicable standards (IEC, ISO, UL, CE, BIS, etc.).
• Develop test case libraries and standard operating procedures (SOPs).
• Set up lab infrastructure: test benches, environmental chambers, fixtures; aware of data acquisition systems.
• Implement Design Verification Plan & Report (DVP&R;) methodology for structured product validation.
• Collaborate with design, firmware, and manufacturing teams to ensure Design for Testability (DfT). C. Quality & Documentation
• Maintain comprehensive test documentation: test reports, failure analysis reports, FMEA inputs.
• Ensure test processes are aligned with ISO 9001 / ISO 13485 quality system requirements where applicable.
• Support internal and external audits with test documentation and evidence packages.
• Track quality metrics: test escape rate, first-pass yield, MTBF, reliability indices; aware of DPMO. D. Team & Stakeholder Management
• Mentor and guide junior test engineers; build team competency in systematic testing.
• Interface with product management and R&D; for test-driven development.
• Liaise with external labs, certification bodies, and vendors as required.
• Support customer discussions on testing methodologies, validation findings, and lab capabilities. E. Capability Development
• Support expansion of testing capabilities into packaging testing, electronics/PCB validation, and medical device testing.
• Assist in developing frameworks for Testing-as-a-Service (TaaS)



to support internal and external testing engagements.
• Drive continuous improvement initiatives to enhance test efficiency and reduce cycle time. F. Future Scope — Compliance & Regulatory Testing
• Serve as the internal subject matter expert for product compliance readiness: CE, BIS, UL, FCC, RoHS, REACH.
• Build awareness of regulatory requirements for Medical devices (IEC 60601, ISO 13485, MDR if applicable).
• Note: This scope may be retained within this role as the V&V; lab matures, or may trigger a separate Compliance Engineer hire — to be reviewed at 12–18 months. Required Skills and QualificationsTechnical Skills
• System-level hardware & firmware testing.
• Verification & Validation methodologies (DVP&R;, FMEA, FTA).
• Reliability testing: HALT, HASS, burn-in, accelerated life testing.
• Mechanical/electrical test fixture design.
• Knowledge of industrial communication protocols (RS232, USB, Ethernet, CAN).
• Ink or fluid system testing (preferred for printing domain). Tools & Equipment
• Exposure in oscilloscopes, logic analysers, and data loggers.
• Environmental test chambers (temperature/humidity).
• ESD and EMC pre-compliance test setups.
• Must have experience in Weibull++ and/or ReliaSoft and/or Minitab; exposure in Python / LabVIEW; aware of TestStand / similar for automation.
• JIRA / TestRail / equivalent defect & test management tools.
