Lead Verification Engineer (m/f/d)

We are looking for a Lead Verification Engineer (m/f/d) to take ownership of the verification and validation strategy behind our autonomous drone platforms. Working at the intersection of systems engineering, simulation, and flight testing, you will ensure that complex technologies perform reliably in demanding real-world environments.

You will define and implement verification frameworks across multiple development programs, collaborating closely with software, hardware, systems, and flight test teams. Your expertise will help transform requirements into measurable evidence, enabling confident release decisions and ensuring our products deliver the performance, reliability, and operational readiness our customers depend on.

What is your Day to Day Mission:

• Strategic Test Leadership: Drive and advance our testing methodologies for complex autonomy projects, ensuring we stay at the forefront of industry standards. 

• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with Systems Engineering, Development and Product teams to deeply understand program scope, system architecture and operational design domains (ODD). 

• Test Strategy Development: Derive and implement tailored test strategies for each project, addressing the unique challenges of a modern autonomy stack based on multi-modal perception and machine learning. 

• Test Execution: When needed, support data collection and test execution. This can include vehicle operation, structured test setup configuration, triggering data recordings and documenting results and issues. 

• Compliance & Risk Mitigation: Proactively identify gaps in existing test strategies. Ensure validation and verification (V&V) activities meet internal project expectations and stringent legal/regulatory requirements. 

• Executive Reporting: Evaluate and compile comprehensive test reports. You will provide the structured evidence required by leadership to make informed product release decisions. 

What you bring to the team:

• Autonomy Expertise: A solid understanding of modern autonomy stacks, with specific knowledge of multi-modal perception pipelines and integrated Machine Learning components. 

• Machine Learning: A good grasp of Machine Learning approaches and their impact on system behavior and verifiability. 

• Systems Validation: Solid understanding of the pros, cons, and applications of SIL (Software-in-the-Loop), HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop), and component-level testing. 

• Testing Paradigms: Proven experience in structured testing methodologies and large-scale re-simulation. 

• Simulation Frameworks: Basic familiarity with simulation frameworks, including an understanding of their technical limitations and "sim-to-real" fidelity gaps. 

• Collaborative Problem Solving: Ability to interface effectively with systems, software, and hardware engineers to design valid test strategies and efficiently evaluate test output data.
