HireSetu's note

The experience bar, read closely

The header says 0 to 2 years; the requirements ask for 3+ years of testing and test script development. Read the 3+ as the working number and the header as an opening for early-career candidates, because nothing else here is entry level: embedded testing, C# test scripts in Visual Studio, the bug life cycle, instrument work with a function generator and DMM.

Mark VIe control system experience and the industrial protocols are the nice-to-haves. One protocol you have genuinely debugged beats six listed on a CV.

The rig is half the job

Maintaining system-level validation setups with technicians, and sourcing hardware through procurement, is a real slice of the week. Cabling IO, swapping a card, chasing a power supply that drifts, then rerunning the test to see whether the fault was firmware or bench.

The rest is test cases, automation and triage. A failure on a turbine control platform needs a proper root cause before a release closes, and the same tests run many times over.

If you come from software QA

The gap is the bench and the bus. Learn what a Modbus register map looks like and how a master polls a slave; a simulator lets you do that at home. Profinet, Profibus, Foundation Fieldbus, CAN and Ethernet are on the wish list, so pick one you can talk about.

A function generator and a DMM are the named instruments. A lab project where you injected a signal and measured the response is a better story than a test framework you once used.

Worth confirming

Ask how validation setups are shared across teams and how much of your week goes to keeping them running versus writing new tests. Ask which Mark VIe subsystems your team owns, since the platform is broad and that decides what you learn.

Relocation assistance is listed, so if you are moving to Hyderabad, get the details in writing early.
