Product Validation Engineer II (Solver)

Cadence

Job Summary

Join the Test & Validation team to design and scale automated performance and accuracy validation for CFD/thermal Solver and end-to-end workflows in electronics cooling and data-centre simulation. This role involves expanding regression coverage, partnering with developers to ensure trustworthy physics, robust performance on HPC/Rescale, and smooth software release rollouts. Responsibilities include owning performance and accuracy suites, creating and maintaining automated tests, growing coverage for new features, curating scenario libraries, implementing Python-based automation, managing defect lifecycles, and contributing to release quality signals.

Must Have

  • Create, maintain, and evolve automated tests for steady-state and transient scenarios
  • Compare results across versions and hardware profiles (multi-core/HPC/Rescale)
  • Add targeted cases for airflow, temperature, and heat-transfer modelling
  • Verify sensible results under natural/forced convection and liquid-cooling conditions
  • Curate 3D and 1D flow-network cases for end-to-end platform behavior
  • Implement Python-based harnesses and automation; integrate suites with CI
  • Track trends and defects in JIRA; identify, minimize, and triage issues
  • Ensure reproducibility across Windows and Linux
  • Contribute to go/no-go decisions; prepare concise internal test documentation
  • Participate in sprint planning, estimation, and feature/design reviews
  • Engineering degree (Mechanical/Aerospace or similar)
  • 2+ years in an automation testing role with experience building or extending test automation frameworks (Python or equivalent)
  • Strong CFD/thermal fundamentals with hands-on validation for electronics cooling and/or data-center airflow/thermal behavior
  • Confident on Windows and Linux
  • Comfortable running jobs across multi-core/HPC clusters and Rescale
  • Practiced in Agile testing and JIRA for defect tracking

Good to Have

  • Experience of running performance benchmarking tests on known versions
  • Visual studio experience
  • Data center IT experience
  • ISTQB (Foundation)

Job Description

Job Title:

Product Validation Engineer II (Solver)

Location:

Noida - India

Job Overview:

Join the Test & Validation team to design and scale automated performance and accuracy validation for our CFD/thermal Solver and end-to-end workflows used in electronics cooling and data-centre simulation. You’ll work within Agile SDLC, expand regression coverage as features land, and partner with developers to ensure trustworthy physics, robust performance on HPC/Rescale, and smooth release Software rollouts.

Job Responsibilities

Own performance & accuracy suites for the mathematical Solver:

  • Create, maintain, and evolve automated tests that exercise steady-state and transient scenarios, comparing results across versions and hardware profiles (multi-core/HPC/Rescale).
  • Grow coverage as features ship: add targeted cases for airflow, temperature and heat-transfer modelling in electronics assemblies and enclosures; verify sensible results under natural/forced convection and liquid-cooling conditions.
  • Scenario libraries & data-center workflows: curate 3D and 1D flow-network cases (e.g., raised floors, external wind/humidity effects, power-network schedules, failure scenarios) to validate end-to-end platform behavior.
  • Automation & tooling: implement Python-based harnesses and automation where appropriate; integrate suites with CI; track trends and defects in JIRA.
  • Defect lifecycle: identify, minimize, and triage issues with clear details in JIRA follow through to fix and release readiness; ensure reproducibility across Windows and Linux.
  • Release & quality signals: contribute to go/no-go decisions; prepare concise internal test documentation with repeatable steps.
  • Agile collaboration: participate in sprint planning, estimation and feature/design reviews with cross-functional teams.

Job Qualifications

  • Engineering degree (Mechanical/Aerospace or similar).
  • 2+ years in an automation testing role with experience building or extending test automation frameworks (Python or equivalent).
  • Strong CFD/thermal fundamentals with hands-on validation for electronics cooling and/or data-center airflow/thermal behavior
  • Confident on Windows and Linux
  • Comfortable running jobs across multi-core/HPC clusters and Rescale
  • Practiced in Agile testing and JIRA for defect tracking.

Nice to have but not essential

  • Experience of running performance benchmarking tests on known versions.
  • Visual studio experience
  • Data center IT experience
  • ISTQB (Foundation)
