Join Our Team as a Verification and Validations Associate at Epiroc!Work Type (Onsite/Hybrid/Remote):Onsite
Responsibilities:- Develop system- and component-level V&V plans, procedures, and acceptance criteria aligned with product requirements.
- Maintain requirements traceability from specification through verification evidence.
- Support functional safety validation of safety functions to ISO 13849 PL targets, including fault-injection and diagnostic coverage verification.
- Contribute to DFMEA, PFMEA, and reliability growth planning.
- Use ALM tools (e.g., Polarion, Jama, DOORS) to maintain traceability from requirements to validation.
- Facilitate validation testing using facility infrastructure including:
- Vibration and shock analysis.
- EMC/EMI chambers for emissions and immunity.
- High-voltage test systems (insulation resistance, hipot, HV interlock loop, contactor behavior, fault response).
- Environmental chambers for temperature, humidity, ingress, and thermal cycling.
- Instrument vehicles and subsystems using DAQ systems, thermocouples, strain/vibration sensors, and HV measurement equipment.
- Perform failure investigation, root-cause analysis, and corrective action validation.
Knowledge/Education:- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Electrical, Mechatronics, Mechanical, or Systems Engineering.
- Experience in verification & validation, test engineering, or reliability testing for electrified, industrial, or heavy-duty equipment.
- Practical familiarity with:
- High-voltage DC systems and electrical safety practices.
- Vibration, environmental, and EMC testing methodologies.
- Instrumentation, data acquisition, and troubleshooting of complex systems.
- Understanding of functional safety principles for machinery, particularly ISO 13849 Performance Levels.
- Ability to generate clear technical documentation and structured validation evidence.
Skills and Abilities:- Experience with battery-electric vehicles, mining equipment, or off-road machinery.
- Knowledge of functional safety standards and supporting frameworks (e.g., ISO 13849, ISO 26262).
- Familiarity with BMS, traction inverters, charging systems, HV interlock architecture, and insulation monitoring.
- Experience with test automation, scripting (Python/MATLAB), HIL systems, or model-based validation.
- Background in field testing within harsh or remote industrial environments.
- Progress toward or attainment of professional engineering registration is an asset.
