Hands-on testing and software verification experience is essential.

This is a technical leadership role for someone who can challenge verification approaches, identify gaps in test coverage and provide assurance that safety-critical software has been adequately verified.

Responsibilities:

Lead and own all software verification activities, from strategy and planning through execution, reporting and completion.
Define and implement rigorous verification and test strategies aligned with requirements, architecture and applicable safety-critical standards.
Plan and execute hands-on software testing, analysing results and driving resolution of defects, anomalies and non-conformances.
Maintain robust requirements-to-test traceability and verification evidence, producing and reviewing high-quality test specifications, procedures and reports.
Review requirements, designs, code and verification evidence to identify defects, omissions and gaps, providing technical challenge and assurance.
Lead verification reviews and provide technical assurance for software release and development milestones, including RTOS and complex embedded systems across processor architectures.
Independently deliver complex verification projects, resolving ambiguous technical challenges and driving continuous improvements in testing, processes and quality.
Provide technical leadership and mentoring, collaborating across Software, Systems and other teams while developing best practice in safety-critical software verification. Required Skills & Experience:

Proven experience leading or owning software verification activities across projects or Software Teams.
Strong hands-on experience in software testing and verification, including planning, specification, execution, results analysis and verification evidence.
Strong understanding of requirements-based testing, verification planning, test coverage and requirements traceability, with experience reviewing requirements, designs, code and verification evidence.
Proven ability to identify verification gaps, challenge technical assumptions and assess whether software has been adequately verified within a formal development lifecycle.
Experience developing and/or verifying safety-critical software to standards including IEC 61508, ISO 26262, DO-178B/C or IEC 62304, with knowledge of ASPICE and MISRA.
Strong embedded software and systems expertise, including C, low-level programming, multicore processors, complex hardware architectures, networking and protocols such as TCP/IP and UDP.
