Product Validation Engineer 2

**At Cadence, we hire and develop leaders and innovators who want to make an impact on the world of technology.** ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- **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) **We’re doing work that matters. Help us solve what others can’t.** -------------------------------------------------------------------
