We’re looking for a Senior Test & V&V Engineer to lead testing of our drone-based repair system, from individual units and subsystems to the complete product in the field. You'll own V&V, lead test campaigns with our pilots and technicians, and make sure the product is reliable and ready for release. You’ll work across hardware and software validation, helping ensure our product is reliable, robust, and ready for release.

Key responsibilities

• Lead the V&V strategy and test activities at every level: unit, subsystem, integrated system, flight testing, and field validation.
• Work with the hardware and software teams to define test requirements and acceptance criteria.
• Plan and manage test campaigns. Coordinate drone pilots and technicians during bench, flight, and field tests.
• Design and build test rigs and fixtures, mainly using CAD and 3D printing.
• Write and maintain test procedures and automated test scripts for hardware and the robotics/embedded software stack.
• Set up quality control, including incoming inspection, first article inspection (FAI), and end-of-line (EOL) acceptance testing.
• Prepare and conduct Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) and Site Acceptance Tests (SAT), including test plans, procedures, checklists, and customer-facing test reports.
• Analyse test data, maintain traceability from requirements to test results, and report go/no-go to the team.
• Drive root cause analysis on failures and feed results into the NCR process.
