Decide what qualified means here, and hold the line on it. Nothing ships to a customer without passing what you define, and when a unit comes back from the field you own the answer to why.
What you will do
Own the qualification programme: thermal, electrical, mechanical, environmental and reliability. Define acceptance criteria for every SKU and every revision, and the test coverage that proves them. Build and run the test rigs, instrumentation and data capture behind the qualification gates. Own the failure analysis and corrective action process, including FMEA and returned-unit teardown. Track field reliability and feed it back into design, manufacturing and supplier decisions. Keep the qualification record auditable for customers whose procurement will ask for it.
What you need
Five years or more in hardware test, quality or reliability engineering. You have written qualification plans from scratch and defended them to customers or auditors.
Instrumentation and data capture: thermal, power, flow, vibration, and the analysis that follows. Root cause discipline. You are not satisfied with a symptom. Based in Riyadh or willing to relocate.
Useful, not required
Environmental or industrial qualification experience. Statistical process control and reliability modelling. Test automation and scripting.
What we offer
One of the first deep tech companies in the region, building foundational technology in house. Meaningful ownership and impact at an early stage. Competitive early-stage compensation. Close collaboration with a small, senior team. Problems that combine hardware, systems and AI at scale.
