About the role

Verification and validation lead for Armament Control System (ACS) testing, shaping testing roadmap, building in-the-loop environments, and qualifying the ACS against requirements in a safety-critical defence AI context.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and maintain the ACS testing roadmap across the full development cycle, so that verification keeps pace with design maturity and programme milestones.
  • Specify, design and commission ACS test rigs, working 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 so that defects are resolved before integration.
  • Automate regression and qualification testing with MATLAB/Simulink and real-time targets such as Speedgoat, measurably reducing manual test effort and cycle time.

Qualifications

  • Qualified complex, safety-critical systems in aerospace, defence, automotive or a comparable domain.
  • Built and operated software-in-the-loop and hardware-in-the-loop test environments, from architecture through to commissioning.
  • Model and automate testing in MATLAB/Simulink and have worked with real-time test hardware such as Speedgoat.
  • Translate system requirements into structured test plans and procedures, and document results clearly enough for qualification and customer review.
  • Communicate technical reasoning clearly in written and spoken English and German, to customers as well as engineering colleagues.
  • Hold, or are willing and able to obtain, an extended German security clearance (erweiterte Sicherheitsüberprüfung, Ü2 or Ü3).
