The validation engineer, whatever his specialty (electronics, RF, software …) begins by studying the system or subsystem specification documents to validate in order to master its features. Once the characteristics are known, he drafts a validation plan / test plan in relationships with the product teams. Once this plan has been approved, he implements some tests, for example on an emulation platform as part of a project to validate an intellectual property, or on target equipment within a test bench as part of software validation. Additional tests may be performed, for example Faraday cage tests to validate an RF electronic board. Once the tests are completed, the validation engineer analyzes the results and writes the reports allowing to trace the identified bugs. He may be involved in their resolution with the design teams.
