Requirements

• You have extensive experience with V&V for the development of avionics or electronic warfare systems, from initial requirements definition to final qualification
• You are a subject matter expert in Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), with hands-on proficiency in tools like Cameo Systems Modeler, Enterprise Architect, or IBM Rhapsody (using SysML/UML)
• You can demonstrate deep experience in behavioral and functional modeling—translating high-level natural language requirements into formal executable models to drive early validation
• You have experience with test environment and tools development for the automation and execution of V&V activities in compliance with industry and authority standards and guidelines (ARP4754B)
• You have tested embedded software for an avionics or electronic warfare system in accordance with DO-178C standards and successfully passed the final qualification review
• You have established a successful relationship with at least one civil or military aviation authority and participated in at least two panel meetings or Stage of Involvement (SOI) activities
• You hold a degree in aerospace engineering, electrical engineering, physics, computer science, or another engineering discipline that provides a strong technical understanding of complex topics
• You possess excellent communication skills and the ability to report and present results clearly and effectively to both internal and external stakeholders
• You excel in teamwork, with the ability to coordinate and guide the team to meet aerospace standards

What you'll be doing

• You will create the simulation models of the systems and units to be tested and integrate them into the different HiL (Hardware in the loop) and SiL (Software in the loop) labs/rigs
• You will develop the architecture of high-fidelity plant models and virtual prototypes (using MATLAB/Simulink, Ansys SCADE, or C++) to simulate aircraft components, complex EW system behaviors, RF environments, and aircraft dynamics
• You will develop the tools needed to create and execute test procedures, and integrate with the requirements base (natural language and MBSE), integrate it to the complex test environment, and automate the generation of test results
• You will negotiate system qualification requirements and MoC with our customer, derive high-level software performance requirements, and validate high-level software performance requirements in close collaboration with our software leads
• You will improve the traceability of system qualification requirements across all relevant software development artifacts, and develop a V&V product strategy to ensure the successful qualification of the final system and software
• You will work collaboratively with the project manager to ensure proper planning of all V&V activities, monitor technical progress, and guide the team toward successful qualification
• You will oversee the preparation of all V&V documents to ensure they meet the high standards of compliance and certification needed in defense. Authorize the documents before they are delivered to the customer
• You will lead the final software product qualification activities with both customer and authorities
• You will collaborate closely with our quality assurance team to ensure that all V&V deliverables adhere to established quality standards. Address any issues promptly to maintain the integrity of the project
• You will provide regular updates on the V&V status and any technical issues identified to the Chief Engineering and Program Management teams, ensuring all stakeholders are informed of significant developments
