As a key leader within our Caterpillar Trimble Control Technologies joint venture, you will spearhead the validation of advanced IMUs and sensing solutions that power the worlds most sophisticated off-highway equipment. You will bridge the gap between digital design and physical performance, ensuring our cutting-edge electronic systems thrive in the most demanding real-world environments while driving innovation at the intersection of two global industry leaders.
Job Responsibility
Develop and maintain verification and validation plans (DVP&R) for IMUs, angle sensors, and related components
Translate product requirements and design risks into structured, risk-based validation strategies and test coverage
Lead the application of FMEA outputs into validation planning, ensuring all identified risks are mapped to appropriate verification and validation activities with defined acceptance criteria
Plan and coordinate validation activities across multiple venues, including: Simulation / virtual testing, Bench and lab testing, Hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), Environmental testing, Machine-level testing, Field/Application testing
Coordinate internal resources and external test facilities as needed
Ensure test readiness, proper execution, and adherence to defined procedures and acceptance criteria
Review and analyze validation results to ensure completeness, technical correctness, and traceability
Provide clear technical feedback and recommendations to design and development teams based on validation evidence
Ensure validation results are documented, traceable, and properly archived
Support program milestone reviews with concise validation status updates
Own validation completeness assessment and provide recommendations on product readiness for design release based on validation evidence and residual risk
Work closely with Product Managers, Technical Leads, Systems Engineers, Firmware Engineers, Manufacturing, and Program Managers
Align validation plans with program schedules, product maturity, and resource availability
Support multiple concurrent development and sustaining programs across the product portfolio
Contribute to the development of standard validation workflows and best practices
Capture lessons learned and drive improvements in validation methods and efficiency
Support consistent application of validation processes across programs
