Are you an Embedded Software Test Engineer or Software Verification Engineer from a safety-critical or regulated environment looking to work on technology that will enable safe, certified autonomous flight?

This is an excellent opportunity to join a growing specialist autonomy-assurance business, where you will help shape the verification of embedded software used across flight-critical control, runtime safety and mission-assurance systems.

The Role:
* Define verification strategies for safety-critical embedded software and systems

* Deliver requirements-based V&V, traceability and compliance documentation
* Conduct integration, system and qualification testing using advanced verification techniques

The Person:
