Head of Product Testing & Validation Location:
Fremont, CA The Role:
As the Head of Product Test & Validation, you will lead and scale comprehensive testing efforts across electrical, electromechanical, mechanical, and software-integrated systems. You will be responsible for system-level and component-level validation, ensuring compliance with performance, durability, and safety standards. You will manage a team of test and validation engineers, oversee both laboratory and field testing, and leverage simulation, data analysis, and real-world validation techniques to refine product performance. This role requires a strategic leader with hands-on expertise in test methodologies, product reliability analysis, and cross-functional collaboration with engineering, manufacturing, and compliance teams. Responsibilities:
Develop and implement a comprehensive test and validation strategy across system, component, and product levels. Establish best-in-class validation methodologies, integrating simulation-driven verification and real-world testing. Define and track key performance indicators (KPIs) for product reliability, quality, and user experience. Collaborate with design, engineering, and manufacturing teams to align validation processes with product development cycles. System & Vehicle-Level Testing:
Oversee the design and execution of test plans for vehicle engineering and feature validations. Develop test protocols for functional, performance, environmental, and safety validation. Utilize simulation and modeling tools to complement physical testing and accelerate validation. Implement failure analysis and root cause diagnostics to drive corrective actions and continuous improvement. Ensure compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements for vehicle systems. Field Testing & Data Analysis:
Manage real-world validation programs, testing products under various environmental and operational conditions. Oversee data collection and analysis from test fleets, identifying trends and performance insights. Implement automated test frameworks and data-driven validation approaches. Cross-Functional Collaboration:
Partner with hardware, software, and mechanical teams to provide test-driven insights for product refinement. Support manufacturing and quality teams with end-of-line and production validation testing. Ensure seamless integration between test, design, and compliance teams for certification readiness. Qualifications:
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related field. 10+ years of experience in system validation, product testing, or reliability engineering in automotive, mobility. Proven leadership experience in managing test teams and scaling validation programs. Expertise in system and component-level validation for electrical, mechanical, and electromechanical systems. Experience with failure analysis, data acquisition, and root cause diagnostics. Hands-on experience with simulation tools, test automation, and data analytics is a plus. Strong knowledge of regulatory compliance and testing standards for mobility and vehicle systems. Ability to thrive in fast-paced startup environments, balancing strategic oversight with hands-on problem-solving. Salary Range - Fremont, CA $167,500 - $215,000 USD Voluntary Self-Identification and Equal Employment Opportunity
Pebble is an equal employment opportunity employer. We do not discriminate on the basis of any protected status under applicable law. We may invite voluntarily self-identification of veteran status and disability for government reporting purposes. Providing this information is voluntary and confidential. This information will not be used in making hiring decisions. For reference, the following information is provided to help understand disability categories and the purpose of voluntary self-identification: the U.S. Department of Labor’s OFCCP requires contractors to collect disability status data. A disability is a condition that substantially limits one or more major life activities. Examples of disabilities include, but are not limited to: chronic illnesses, mobility impairments, cognitive or mental health conditions, sensory impairments, and other conditions as listed by applicable law.
