Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Manager – Verification & Validation (V&V) to lead V&V activities for airborne safety-critical electronic systems. The role focuses on planning, execution, and compliance of verification processes in line with DO-254 and certification requirements governed by CEMILAC.

The candidate will be responsible for driving structured V&V processes, ensuring traceability, managing teams, and interfacing with certification authorities, while working closely with design, system, and quality teams.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership
- Lead end-to-end Verification & Validation (V&V) activities for FPGA-based and electronic hardware systems.
- Define verification strategies, methodologies, and plans aligned with project and certification requirements.
- Oversee execution of static and dynamic verification using industry-standard tools (Questa Lint, Questa Inspect, Questa Prime etc.).
- Ensure comprehensive coverage through simulation, analysis, and testing approaches.
Compliance & Certification
- Ensure adherence to DO-254 V&V processes and guidelines.
- Drive preparation and review of V&V lifecycle data including test plans, procedures, cases, reports, and compliance matrices.
- Maintain complete traceability between requirements, design, and verification artifacts.
- Interface with certification authorities such as CEMILAC and support audits and reviews.
Project & Team Management
- Manage and mentor a team of V&V engineers.
- Plan schedules, allocate resources, and track progress across multiple programs.
- Identify risks in verification activities and implement mitigation strategies.
- Coordinate closely with design, system engineering, QA, and program management teams.
Verification Oversight
- Review and approve verification plans, test cases, procedures, and reports.
- Ensure effective execution of RTL simulation, linting, and advanced verification techniques.
- Guide debugging and root cause analysis of design and system-level issues.
- Oversee validation activities ensuring readiness for certification reviews.
Documentation & Quality
- Ensure development of complete and compliant V&V documentation aligned with aerospace standards.
- Participate in and lead lifecycle reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR, etc.).
- Ensure adherence to configuration management and version control practices.
Domain Knowledge
- Working knowledge of DO-254 V&V lifecycle.
- Familiarity with certification workflows involving CEMILAC, FAA, or EASA.
