We are hiring V&V System Engineers to support production of a Group 5 autonomous aircraft. The systems engineering team is looking for V&V Systems Engineers for hardware verification and execution across the full product lifecycle - from design verification testing (DVT) through environmental qualification, production acceptance, and ground & flight test.

**Responsibilities**

- Demonstrate that all hardware meets system level requirements and technical performance metrics (TPMs) before fielding

- Ensure that verification activities are planned, executed, and documented in accordance with the program Systems Engineering Management Plan (SEMP)

**REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS**

- B.S. in aerospace, mechanical, electrical or similar engineering or technical field

- 7+ years of experience in systems engineering, hardware qualification, or test & evaluation in aerospace, defense, or similarly regulated industries

- Direct experience supporting environmental qualification testing of electronic or electromechanical hardware (e.g., LRUs, avionics, actuators)

- Working knowledge of MIL-STD-810 (environmental test methods: vibration, shock, temperature, altitude, humidity, salt fog, sand & dust)

- Familiarity with MIL-STD-461 (EMI/EMC: conducted/radiated emissions and susceptibility , CS101, CE102, RE102, RS103, CS114-CS118)

- Familiarity with MIL-STD-464 (electromagnetic environmental effects: bonding, HERP, HERO, TEMPEST)

- Understanding of MIL-STD-704 (aircraft electric power characteristics) as it applies to utilization equipment

- Understanding of verification methods (Test, Analysis, Demonstration, Inspection) and when each is appropriate

- Experience with requirements traceability , decomposing system-level requirements to component-level verification evidence

- Ability to read and interpret qualification test reports, certificates of conformance, and supplier technical data packages

- Experience with V&V planning: developing verification cross-reference matrices (VCRMs), test plans, and verification evidence packages

- Understanding of Qualification by Similarity (QBS) methodology, including similarity assessments and gap analysis for COTS/MOTS hardware

- Familiarity with the systems engineering V-model and how hardware qualification feeds into system-level acceptance

- Proficiency with requirements management tools (e.g., Jama, DOORS, Polarion)

- Proficiency with Microsoft Office (Excel for compliance matrices and data analysis, Word for test plans and reports, PowerPoint for technical reviews)

**PREFERRED QUALIFICATIONS**

- 5+ years in hardware qualification or environmental test engineering

- Experience with DO-160 (RTCA environmental test standard) and cross-referencing DO-160 results against MIL-STD-810/461 requirements

- Experience with MIL-HDBK-310 (global climatic data) and its application to operational environment definition

- Hands-on experience directing or witnessing environmental testing at a qualification test lab

- Experience with Foundry, Confluence, or similar platforms for tracking qualification status and engineering data

- Experience supporting airworthiness or safety-of-flight qualification programs

- Familiarity with AS9100 or equivalent quality management systems

- Prior work on UAS, tactical aircraft, or similar defense platforms
