Validation Engineer

Mechtex Ltd; Mumbai; On-site; INR 600,000 - 900,000; Full time

Job summary

Mechtex Ltd. is seeking a Validation Engineer with 2–4 years of experience in mechanical, electronics, or mechatronics to lead motor and gearbox performance testing, build test setups, and execute DVP&R validation plans.

In this hands-on role, you will bridge R&D and production by specifying dynamometers, carrying out torque-speed mapping, efficiency, thermal rise, backlash, and noise/vibration tests, and conducting root-cause failure investigations.

Qualifications

• Hands-on validation experience across motor/gearbox products
• Experience designing test benches and dynos for performance testing
• Familiarity with pass/fail criteria per design specs and standards

Responsibilities

• Work with Design/R&D, Manufacturing, Quality, and Reliability teams.
• Provide feedback to design engineers on testability and reliability improvements.
• Collaborate with design/R&D teams to implement corrective actions.
• Design or specify test benches/dynamometers for motor performance testing (torque-speed curves, efficiency mapping, back-EMF, cogging torque).
• Motor testing: torque-speed characteristics, efficiency, current draw, commutation accuracy, synchronous behavior, thermal rise, back-EMF waveform, cogging/ripple torque.
• Investigate test failures (bearing failures, winding insulation breakdown, gear wear).
• Plan validation across component, sub-system, and full assembly levels.
• Gearbox testing: efficiency, backlash, noise/vibration, lubrication effectiveness, gear wear, thermal performance.
• Prepare validation test reports, DVP&R sign-off documents, and engineering change validation records.
• Support certification processes (EMI/EMC testing, safety testing).
• Maintain test data traceability and validation history for audits (ISO 9001, IATF 16949).
• Define pass/fail criteria based on design specs, customer requirements, and standards (IEC 60034, NEMA, ISO, AGMA).
• Continuously update technical knowledge and stay current with industry trends.

Job description

Seeking a Validation Engineer (2–4 years exp) in Mechanical, Electronics, or Mechatronics to lead motor and gearbox performance testing, build test setups, and execute DVP&R validation plans.

Job Description:

Join our engineering team as a Validation Engineer to drive performance, reliability, and quality across our advanced motor and gearbox product lines. In this hands-on role, you will bridge R&D and production by specifying dynamometers and test setups, executing end-to-end validation protocols (torque-speed mapping, efficiency, thermal rise, backlash, and noise/vibration), and conducting root-cause failure investigations.

Key Responsibilities:

• Work closely with Design/R&D, Manufacturing, Quality, and Reliability teams.
• Provide feedback to design engineers on improvements for design-for-testability and design-for-reliability.
• Collaborate with design/R&D teams to implement corrective actions.
• Design or specify test benches/dynamometers for motor performance testing (torque-speed curves, efficiency mapping, back-EMF, cogging torque).
• Motor testing: torque-speed characteristics, efficiency, current draw, commutation accuracy (for BLDC/stepper), synchronous behavior, thermal rise, back-EMF waveform, cogging/ripple torque.
• Investigate test failures (e.g., bearing failures, winding insulation breakdown, gear tooth pitting/wear, demagnetization).
• Plan validation across product lifecycle stages: component, sub-system, and full assembly levels.
• Gearbox testing: efficiency, backlash, noise/vibration, lubrication effectiveness, gear tooth wear, thermal performance.
• Prepare validation test reports, DVP&R sign-off documents, and engineering change validation records.
• Support certification processes (EMI/EMC testing, safety testing).
• Maintain test data traceability and validation history for audits (ISO 9001, IATF 16949 if automotive-adjacent).
• Define pass/fail criteria based on design specs, customer requirements, and standards (IEC 60034, NEMA, ISO, AGMA for gears, etc.).
• Continuously update technical knowledge and stay current with industry trends, design practices, and software tools.
• Participate in internal training sessions and support knowledge sharing within the team.

Requirements & Qualifications:

Experience: 2 - 4 years

Qualification: B.E. / Diploma in Mechanical / Electronics / Mechtronics
