What You Bring To The Team

• Strong background in verification & validation, systems engineering, or test engineering for complex systems

• More than 7 years of professional experience in military, defense, aerospace, or other safety‑critical environments

• Deep understanding of requirement‑based verification and system‑level validation methodologies

• Experience with failure modes, hazard analysis, and risk assessment

• Hands‑on experience with SITL, HITL, and simulation‑driven testing

• Ability to reason about autonomous system behavior beyond component‑level correctness

• Confidence to challenge assumptions, test coverage, and “happy‑path” designs

• Structured, evidence‑driven mindset with strong documentation discipline

• As a plus

• Experience with autonomous or semi‑autonomous weapon systems, UAVs, or interceptor platforms

• Familiarity with military standards, NATO‑style qualification, and defense customer V&V expectations

• Experience with fault injection, robustness testing, or Monte‑Carlo analysis

• Understanding of control systems and flight dynamics

• Exposure to electronic warfare, degraded environments, or contested operations
