Verification Engineer

Industry: Electric Aviation / Advanced Air Mobility This role sits within the Fly-by-Wire Flight Control team at a pioneering electric aviation company developing aircraft and charging infrastructure from the ground up. The organisation is working across the full development lifecycle, from early-stage design through to certification and production, with a clear mission to decarbonise aviation. The Verification Engineer will play a hands‑on role in ensuring the flight control system and its integration with key subsystems meets the rigorous safety and performance standards required for certification. This is a technically demanding position suited to engineers who thrive in a lab environment, take pride in test rigour, and want their work to have a direct impact on flight safety and programme progression. Responsibilities Execute, automate, and analyse verification testing for the aircraft flight control system and related subsystems including inceptors, flight control computers, GNC algorithms, propulsion motors, batteries, and actuators Run tests across SiL, HiL, bench, and integrated system rig environments, including combined flight control, battery, and electric propulsion configurations Author test cases, procedures, and scripts with clearly defined pass/fail criteria, maintaining full traceability to system and software requirements Collaborate with system architects and discipline engineers to refine test plans, review results, and resolve discrepancies Improve lab repeatability and rigour through better procedure development, results recording, and hardware/software configuration control Plan and execute test campaigns, producing clear reports, dashboards, and coverage summaries to communicate status and risk Support lab equipment setup, maintenance, and organisation, ensuring a safe and productive test environment Build and maintain data acquisition and visualisation pipelines to accelerate analysis and decision making Automate test execution and regression suites, contributing to continuous integration and test infrastructure Document lab tools, instruments, and user guidelines, and support onboarding of new lab users Participate in issue triage and root-cause investigations, tracking defects through to closure with engineering owners Required Experience & Skills Bachelor's degree in Aerospace, Electrical, Mechanical, Systems, Computer Engineering, or related field 2+ years of experience in verification and test within control systems, avionics, automotive, robotics, or other safety-critical domains — strong graduates with relevant project or internship experience are encouraged to apply Hands‑on experience executing tests in HiL/SiL or similar environments working with integrated electromechanical systems Strong test development and planning skills including writing test cases and procedures, defining data collection logic, and generating reports Working knowledge of requirements traceability, configuration management, and defect tracking Proficiency in scripting and data analysis, particularly Python Familiarity with aerospace safety practices such as ARP4754A, ARP4761, DO-178C, and DO-254 Practical lab skills with a safety‑first mindset and strong attention to detail Clear communication and collaboration skills in a fast‑moving, cross‑functional environment Desirable / Additional Qualifications Experience with Polarion ALM for requirements and test management Hands‑on experience with dSPACE, Speedgoat HiL, NI VeriStand, or LabVIEW platforms Exposure to flight test support, instrumentation, or post‑flight data analysis Familiarity with CAN, Ethernet, and common avionics or industrial interfaces Experience with DAQ hardware and associated data pipelines MATLAB/Simulink experience for modelling and analysis #J-18808-Ljbffr Apera
