Verification and Validation Engineer

Verification Planning & Strategy

• MUST have experience with DO-160
• MUST be a US Person
• Develop, maintain, and update the Verification & Validation (V&V) plan in alignment with program goals and relevant industry standards (e.g., DO-160, DO-178/254, MIL-STD, ARP4754)
• Identify appropriate verification methods—including analysis, inspection, demonstration, and testing—and assign them to system and component requirements
• Participate in requirements reviews to ensure they are clear, testable, and traceable throughout the V&V process

Test Development & Execution

• Design detailed test procedures, define test cases, and establish pass/fail criteria
• Lead or assist in testing at the component, subsystem, and system levels, covering laboratory, bench, environmental, and integration activities
• Coordinate test setup, instrumentation, and configuration with laboratory and test engineering teams
• Ensure proper configuration management of all test hardware, software, and documentation

Data Analysis & Reporting

• Examine test results, generate comprehensive test reports, and document anomalies or deviations from expected performance
• Collaborate with engineering teams to resolve issues, plan retests, and achieve verification closure
• Maintain traceability and evidence of compliance in requirements management systems (e.g., DOORS, RV&S, 3DX)

Systems & Requirements Integration

• Maintain full traceability of requirements throughout the verification lifecycle
• Support technical reviews such as PDR, CDR, TRR, and qualification reviews
• Assess the impact of requirement changes on V&V activities, schedule, and re-verification needs
• Contribute to process improvement initiatives, enhancing V&V methodologies, tools, and workflows

Additional Responsibilities

• Occasional domestic and international travel (<10%) to support testing, reviews, or audits
• Follow safe work practices and actively support the company’s health, safety, and environmental programs
• Perform other related duties as assigned

Education and Experience

• Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace, Systems, Electrical, Mechanical, Computer Engineering, or a related technical field
• Minimum of 2 years of experience in verification & validation, system testing, or systems engineering in a regulated or certification-focused environment

Required Skills & Competencies

• Solid understanding of requirements-based engineering and the product development lifecycle
• Experience with laboratory testing, data acquisition systems, and test execution procedures
• Familiarity with requirements management tools (DOORS, RV&S, 3DX, or equivalent)
• Ability to read and interpret electrical schematics, system diagrams, and test data
• Strong analytical, documentation, and technical communication skills
• Proven ability to collaborate effectively in multidisciplinary and regulated engineering teams
• Knowledge of aerospace standards such as DO-160, MIL-STD-704/-810, ARP4754A, and ARP4761
• Familiarity with aircraft electrical systems, power electronics, or electrical machines
• Exposure to model-based systems
