Systems Engineer - Verification Engineer

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Lead system verification planning and execution across the full product lifecycle, from requirements development through design transfer and sustaining activities.
• Develop and maintain system verification strategies, verification plans, protocols, reports, and traceability matrices.
• Analyze system requirements for completeness, consistency, and testability, ensuring clear verification methods are defined.
• Define system-level test approaches, acceptance criteria, and verification coverage for complex hardware-software systems.
• Establish and maintain bidirectional traceability between stakeholder needs, system requirements, risk controls, and verification evidence.
• Design, develop, and execute system-level verification protocols to confirm compliance with functional, performance, safety, and reliability requirements.
• Lead system defect investigation, root-cause analysis, and verification of corrective actions.
• Support risk management activities by ensuring design mitigations are appropriately verified and documented.
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to identify verification gaps, resolve technical issues, and improve product quality.
• Review design changes and assess verification impacts throughout product development and sustaining efforts.
• Support verification readiness reviews, design reviews, regulatory submissions, and audit activities.
• Drive continuous improvement of verification processes, methodologies, tools, and best practices.
• Communicate verification status, risks, technical findings, and recommendations to project teams and leadership
• Cooperative communications and collaboration with all levels of employees, customers, contractors, and vendors.
