Validation Engineer

Company Brief Planys is a deep-tech company developing mission-critical robotic and digital systems for defence and strategic infrastructure. The company designs and builds unmanned systems and advanced sensing solutions across underwater, maritime, and land domains, with a strong focus on naval, coast guard, and army applications. Planys is actively engaged in the development of Unmanned Underwater Vehicles (UUVs) ranging from small to extra-large platforms, along with ruggedised electronic and digital systems for armoured vehicles. Leveraging its strong foundation in marine robotics, underwater inspection, and non-destructive evaluation (NDT), Planys integrates defence-grade electronics, sensing, and data analytics to deliver highreliability systems suitable for harsh operational environments. The company combines platform engineering, payload integration, and AI-enabled digital analytics to support situational awareness, asset integrity assessment, and data-driven decision-making for defence forces and strategic asset operators. Planys, globally recognised for strategic infrastructure solutions, is now focused on creating a strong and enduring presence in the defence sector, delivering indigenous unmanned and digital systems for the Army, Navy, and Coast Guard.

Key Responsibilities

• Integrate, validate, and test electrical and electronic subsystems for autonomous and defence-grade platforms.
• Plan and execute system integration, functional validation, and qualification testing.
• Perform environmental and reliability testing, including shock, vibration, temperature, humidity, insulation resistance, and environmental stress testing.
• Execute compliance testing in accordance with applicable defence standards such as

MIL-STD-810 ,

MIL-STD-461 , and related specifications.

• Perform electrical validation activities including power-up testing, wiring verification, continuity checks, insulation resistance (IR) testing, and signal integrity verification.
• Validate PCB assemblies, cable harnesses, connectors, grounding, shielding, and electrical interfaces to ensure robustness in harsh operating environments.
• Test and troubleshoot communication interfaces including

CAN, RS-485, Ethernet , and other embedded sensor networks.

• Investigate test failures, perform root cause analysis (RCA), and implement corrective and preventive actions.
• Prepare and maintain detailed test procedures, reports, qualification records, compliance documentation, and issue trackers.
• Collaborate closely with Mechanical, Electrical, Embedded, Systems, Manufacturing, and Field Engineering teams to improve product reliability and manufacturability.
• Support product certification activities and coordinate with external test laboratories and certification agencies.
• Own the complete validation lifecycle from component-level verification through subsystem integration, system qualification, and field release.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Electronics & Communication Engineering, Instrumentation Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 2–5 years of experience in electrical system integration, validation, testing, or qualification.
• Strong understanding of electrical schematics, wiring, connectors, PCB assemblies, and embedded electronic systems.
• Hands-on experience with electrical test equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, power analyzers, signal generators, insulation resistance testers, and data acquisition systems.
• Experience in troubleshooting complex electrical and electronic systems.
• Familiarity with defence, aerospace, robotics, automotive, marine, or industrial embedded systems is preferred.
• Exposure to environmental qualification and EMI/EMC testing will be an advantage.
• Good documentation, analytical, and problem-solving skills.
