Senior Engineer - Sensors Test & Validation (Mechanical & Env)

3/26/26

At TE, you will unleash your potential working with people from diverse backgrounds and industries to create a safer, sustainable and more connected world.

The Senior Test Engineer will play a critical role in the setup, execution, and analysis of DV, PV, and Qualification testing for sensor products including Pressure, MEMS, Resolver, Humidity, and Position Sensors, with a primary focus on Vibration Testing, Combined Temperature and Vibration (CTV), Mechanical Shock, and Environmental Reliability Testing. This role demands deep hands-on expertise in mechanical and environmental stress testing, strong analytical capability, and thorough command of international test standards and methodologies. Operating from the central T&V Lab in Bangalore, the engineer collaborates closely with global engineering teams to ensure all validation activities meet defined standards, cost targets, and schedule goals. A key dimension of this role is also the active mentoring, coaching, and capability development of fellow colleagues in the lab. KEY RESPONSBILITIES:

Lead the planning, setup, and execution of Combined Temperature and Vibration (CTV) testing, Mechanical Shock, and Environmental Reliability tests for sensor products across automotive, medical, and industrial applications. •    Define and develop vibration test profiles (random, sinusoidal, swept-sine) and shock pulse parameters in accordance with applicable standards and customer-specific requirements. •    Configure and operate vibration test systems, shaker tables, and associated control systems (e.g., LDS, IMC, Data Physics, or equivalent) integrated with thermal chambers for combined environment testing. •    Develop and validate fixture designs for vibration and shock testing to ensure accurate load transmission and minimize test artifacts. •    Develop and own mechanical and environmental test methods, procedures, and fixtures in full compliance with ISO 17025 lab requirements. •    Perform structural and dynamic response analysis of sensor assemblies to support test planning and failure analysis. •    Lead root cause investigations for shock induced or any other test failure modes, including fatigue, solder joint cracking, connector fretting, resonance-related failures, etc. •    Plan and execute validation and reliability tests for sensor products in accordance with global and customer-specific standards. •    Interpret and apply standards such as IATF 16949, ISO 17025, ISO 13485,
