Location: Bengaluru Experience: 2–6 years

Bytebeam builds the hardware and software stacks that power the next generation of smart connected vehicles. At Bytebeam, you’ll own the full embedded journey, from schematics/PCB bring-up to CAN/SPI/UART integration and field-ready reliability. If you love turning real-world signals into shippable products, come build with us.

We’re hiring a Hardware Validation Engineer to own validation for connected-vehicle / telematics-class devices and ensure they’re robust in the real world, from: functional correctness → regulatory/standard compliance → reliability/warranty life → abuse protection.

1) Functional Validation (Bench + Vehicle)

• Build and execute end-to-end functional test plans for telematics/IoT devices: power-up/down, boot stability, sensor/I/O, comms, logging, OTA readiness, and field scenarios. • Validate connectivity and behavior with backend workflows (device health signals, alerts, diagnostics, OTA/update flows) aligned to Bytebeam-like operations (monitor/update/analyze). • Create test automation where it matters (Python scripts, hardware test jigs, CAN/serial automation, log parsers, dashboards). • Own requirements-to-test traceability (RTM), DVP&R / DV–PV structure, and crisp reporting.

2) Standards & Compliance Validation (AIS-140 + Relevant Automotive Standards)

• Drive compliance testing for AIS-140 vehicle tracking and emergency features, including: • Emergency button behavior (one-press type, emergency clear via authorized server) • Backend/server connectivity + ability to send location messages • Location accuracy / TTFF / sensitivity and related performance tests • Plan validation against related/typical automotive expectations: • Electrical transients and protection (load dump, cranking, jump start, reverse polarity)

• Note: AIS-140 references durability/electrical tests including load dump and insulation resistance checks

• Track evolving ecosystem requirements (e.g., discussion of migration AIS-140 → IS 16833 in industry docs).

• Interface with external labs/certification agencies (ARAI/ICAT/lab partners), prepare evidence packs, and close observations.

3) Reliability, Warranty Life, Aging (Design + Production Readiness)

• Create reliability validation plans and execute environmental + lifetime stress testing, such as: • Thermal cycling, thermal shock, vibration, humidity/damp heat • Corrosion/salt fog, dust/water ingress validation • Connector durability, battery backup aging, etc. • Define test-to-life correlation / warranty correlation and a reliability demonstration approach. • Lead failure investigations: reproduce, isolate, and drive corrective actions with HW/FW/mechanical/manufacturing teams (8D mindset).

4) Use-Case & Abuse-Case Protection Validation (Real World) Validate the device survives and fails safely under:

• Miswires, intermittent power, brownouts, noisy vehicle supply, partial connector insertion • ESD events, short-to-battery/ground on I/Os, antenna faults • SIM/network drops; GNSS weak-signal and jamming-like behavior • Tamper attempts (power removal, enclosure opening, harness disconnect), aligned with common AIS-140 expectations around emergency/tamper robustness • Field installation variance (different vehicles, harness lengths, grounding quality)
