The Test Architect is a senior individual contributor who defines and owns the end-to-end validation strategy for SPAN's intelligent energy products — spanning hardware, firmware, cloud, and mobile. This role requires deep expertise in power/energy systems testing, HIL/HITL architecture, CI/CD integration, and cross-functional collaboration across India and US teams. The hire will directly raise release confidence, reduce field defects, and scale SPAN's global quality infrastructure.
As a Test Architect at SPAN, you will define and drive the end-to-end test strategy and architecture for SPAN's intelligent energy systems — including SPAN Panels, SPAN Drive, battery integrations, EV charging, and grid interactions. You will ensure system reliability, safety, and scalability across hardware, firmware, cloud, and mobile applications.
Define end-to-end validation strategy across SPAN Panel (Gen2/Gen3), SPAN Drive, battery systems (e.g., Powerwall, Franklin), and grid/load interactions.
Build system-level test architecture covering App ↔ Cloud ↔ Hardware ↔ Grid; mix manual, automation, HIL/SIL.
Apply risk-based testing for safety-critical power systems; ensure coverage for corner cases and failure modes.
Lead validation of energy flows, outages, failover, backup scenarios, interoperability with inverters, batteries, and EVSEs.
Partner closely with teams on third-party integrations to validate end-to-end behaviours.
Architect scalable HIL/HIL environments with simulators and emulators.
Standardize lab procedures and fixtures; ensure India and US labs are aligned and interchangeable.
Integrate suites into CI/CD (Buildkite, Jenkins, GitHub Actions); enforce quality gates and build health signals.
Define and track coverage (feature/system/integration), defect leakage/escape rate, pass rate, MTTR, and MTTD.
Standardize dashboards in JIRA, TestRail; ensure traceability requirements → test cases → defects.
Collaborate with Product, Firmware, Software, and DevOps to align on release risk and validation scope.
Core Expertise
Test Architecture for system-level products across hardware, firmware, and cloud/mobile.
Automation frameworks (Python, JS, Robot/System frameworks), design patterns, reliability engineering mindset.
CI/CD and release pipelines; artifact versioning; environment orchestration; test data management.
Domain Knowledge (Critical for SPAN)
Power/energy systems, EV, renewables; grid behavior (voltage, frequency, phase, outages).
Battery systems, inverters, EVSE; protocols CAN, Modbus, MQTT, REST APIs.
Hands-on with oscilloscope, power analyzers, grid simulators, and electrical safety practices.
Tools & Technologies
Nice to Have
Analytical, system-level thinking; superb debugging; clear communication and stakeholder management.
Ownership and bias for action; collaborative across US and India teams.
Impact: higher release confidence, scalable global testing, fewer field defects, faster time-to-market.
