This is an exciting opportunity to work in an advanced engineering environment, contributing to a range of fast‑moving and complex projects. You’ll be involved across the full product lifecycle, from early concept and development through to integration, testing, and end‑user delivery.

Working as part of a specialist validation team, you will take ownership of the full software testing lifecycle across simulation‑based systems. This includes planning test activities, executing testing, analysing results, and producing clear technical reports to support delivery and performance assurance.

Key Responsibilities

• Plan, design, and execute end‑to‑end software testing and verification activities across the full development lifecycle
• Develop test plans, test cases, and test environments based on system requirements and architecture
• Conduct functional and integration testing within simulation or emulation environments
• Investigate and resolve software defects, anomalies, and emergent behaviours
• Analyse test data and system logs to validate performance and ensure compliance with requirements
• Produce clear technical reports and certification evidence to support product release
• Collaborate with software, systems, and integration teams to support development, trials, and demonstrations
• Support software releases and continuous integration pipelines through structured testing and validation
• Experience in software testing, verification & validation (V&V), or systems proving
• Strong Python scripting skills for testing, automation, or data analysis
• Familiarity with CI/CD tools and workflows (e.g. Git, Jenkins)

• Ability to analyse complex datasets and system logs
• Understanding of testing complex systems or simulations
• Knowledge of tools such as JIRA, DOORS, or similar requirements/test management tools

Ideal Candidate

• Detail‑oriented with a methodical and analytical approach
• Strong problem‑solving mindset with the ability to investigate complex issues
• Comfortable working in a fast‑paced, collaborative engineering environment
