Systems Engineer Verification & Validation

We are seeking a highly organised and motivated Systems Engineer Verification & validation to join our proactive and innovative team.This role will provide holistic lifecycle Systems Engineering support to replenish activities within the customers program.Although not a purist systems engineer role, the role requires a systems thinking mindset and the application of these methods, approaches, tools and techniques.ResponsibilitiesV&VYou will be responsible for verifying and validating real-time systems and software for the next generation containment gloveboxes.This is a technical hands-on role and will involve designing and implementing Test Cases for safety-critical systems and software.System ConceptsDue to specific needs of each project, it is highly likely that projects working independently to each other will select different system solutions.The Technical Leads are responsible for ensuring any concept down select considers opportunities for single, standardised, solution selection across the projects.This means in practice that any tools used (Functional Means Analysis, N2 Analysis, Whole System Solution Identification, Decision Matrix, Pugh Matrix) should prioritise standardisation.System DesignDuring system design phase, the standardisation initiative shall champion specific principles, including:Reducing the number of different models and makes of equipment in use by seeking similarities across the projects and reuse of technical information between projects.Maximising the use of common sub-systems in different equipment.Minimising the number of different types, assemblies, etc.Maximising the use of commercial of-the-shelf (COTS) items; or use of modified of-the-shelf (MOTS) where a COTS solution would be non-compliant to a key functional requirement.Detail DesignDuring detail design phase, the increasing use of PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) and the bringing of design under configuration control shall provide the opportunity to compare technical solutions.
By determining the degree of standardisation for similar products between projects and by identifying areas of commonalityEvolution of DesignLater phases of the lifecycle shall seek to reduce the diversity of supplied equipment and champion standardisation whenever the design is revisited for improvement.Those elements of design output (requirements, technology solutions) where demonstrating standardisation should form the basis for any future offers / programmes.QualificationsBEng or equivalent in relevant engineering discipline (Electronic Engineering, Electrical and Electronic, or Communications).Essential SkillsSystems EngineeringRequirements and Use Case analysisConcept assessment and design trade studiesSystem architecture design and functional modellingPerformance assessment and systems behavior analysisVerification, Validation and CertificationModel based engineering techniques, including MBSEDemonstrable experience of testing hard real time softwareExperience authoring Test Specifications, automated Test Scripts and compliance matrices.Good problem-solving capability to investigate software/hardware issues.Experience working on safety critical software (SIL3/4 or DO178C software level B/A)Experience of Unit / Module / Functional Testing and also experience of developing test documentation and test coverage reports.Tool Experience - VectorCast and familiarity with DOORs requirement management.The right behaviours are important, can-do attitude, proactive and adaptable, concise communicator, process adherence and quality focused.Desired SkillsFamiliarisation with Model Based Systems Engineering (EA Sparx).Familiarisation with DOORS Requirements Management software.Familiarisation with Product Lifecycle Management softwareProven experience in Holistic Life Cycle Management with balanced competencies across the SE DisciplineExperience of a range of delivery methods (waterfall, lean, agile, DevOps, etc.
