## Description

## Job Overview

You will own the verification and validation of our Armament Control System (ACS), a safety-critical system that governs how weapons are commanded and released. Working alongside systems, software and hardware engineers, you will shape the testing roadmap, build the software- and hardware-in-the-loop environments the programme depends on, and qualify the ACS against its requirements.

## Responsibilities

- Develop and maintain the ACS testing roadmap across the full development cycle, ensuring verification keeps pace with design maturity and programme milestones.

- Specify, design and commission ACS test rigs, collaborating with internal teams and external suppliers on mechanics, electronics, harnesses, interfaces and data acquisition.

- Write test plans and test procedures that trace every system requirement to verifiable evidence.

- Run SIL and HIL test campaigns, investigate anomalies, produce test reports and feed findings back into design to resolve defects before integration.

- Automate regression and qualification testing with MATLAB/Simulink and real-time targets like Speedgoat, measurably reducing manual test effort and cycle time.

## Requirements

- Experience in qualifying complex, safety-critical systems in aerospace, defence, automotive or a comparable domain.

- Proven ability to build and operate software-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop test environments, from architecture through to commissioning.

- Proficiency in modelling and automating testing in MATLAB/Simulink, with experience working with real-time test hardware like Speedgoat.

- Strong communication skills in written and spoken English and German, with the ability to translate system requirements into structured test plans and procedures.

- Hold, or be willing and able to obtain, an extended German security clearance (erweiterte Sicherheitsüberprüfung, Ü2 or Ü3).

## Nice to Have

- Familiarity with industry qualification standards such as DO-160, ARP-4754, DO-178C or DO-254 in testing work.

- Experience ensuring regulatory compliance with CS-23, CS-25, or STANAG-4671 standards for high-criticality aerospace systems.

## Benefits

- Competitive salary and VSOP options

- Relocation support: up to €2,500 and 4 weeks temporary accommodation

- Learning: €500/£450 yearly allowance

- Health & wellness: gym membership and mental health support (Nilo.health)

- Social: regular company events and monthly social allowances

- Enhanced parental leave: 22 weeks fully paid for primary caregivers & 6 weeks for secondary caregivers

- Family support: 5 days of paid family emergency leave, 100% remote work option during pregnancy and phased return to work
