## Job description

## About the Role

As our Workshop, Verification and Validation Testing Manager, you will be at the heart of ensuring our autonomous systems are robust, reliable, and ready for the real world. You will own the critical final stages of our development process, taking charge of all integration, verification, and validation activities. This is your opportunity to build a best-in-class testing function from the ground up.

You will be the bridge between our workshop, the test range, and the field. You will transform system requirements into hands-on test campaigns, provide the clear evidence that proves our systems are ready, and ultimately ensure that every robot we deliver meets the highest standards of quality and performance.

## What You’ll Build

- Design and execute the master test strategy for our autonomous ground systems, shaping how we ensure quality and reliability.
- Build and lead a state-of-the-art test environment, including workshop facilities, hardware-in-the-loop rigs, and simulation tools.
- Orchestrate validation events in real-world operational environments, from live system trials to customer acceptance tests.
- Drive verification campaigns that provide concrete proof our systems meet the highest standards of performance and safety.
- Develop automated regression testing processes to accelerate our development cycles and enhance software quality.
- Ensure a clear, traceable link from initial customer needs all the way through to a fully validated, mission-ready system.
- Act as the key authority on verifiability, providing critical input to our design process from the very beginning.
- Translate complex test outcomes into clear, decisive reports for engineering, program management, and leadership.
- Turn real-world feedback from field exercises into concrete test cases, closing the loop between operations and engineering.

## What You Bring

- A strong background in systems testing, integration, or V&V, gained in a complex hardware-software domain like robotics, automotive, aerospace, or defense.
- Hands-on experience delivering formal test campaigns against defined requirements in a regulated or mission-critical setting.
- A knack for building and managing efficient test environments, including hardware-in-the-loop setups and test automation frameworks.
- A structured, evidence-based approach and the confidence to be the authority on system compliance and readiness.
- The ability to translate complex test results into clear, actionable insights for both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Familiarity with robotics platforms (ROS is a plus), embedded systems, and common communication protocols.
- Experience with requirements and test management tools (e.g., Jira, Jama, Polarion).
- An eagerness to work hands-on in workshop, lab, and field environments, with a willingness to travel for trials and customer events.
- Excellent English communication skills.

Please note: You do not need to meet every single requirement to apply. We welcome motivated candidates who are eager to grow into the role and develop their expertise further.

## What We Offer

Join a mission-driven European defense tech company at a pivotal stage of growth, where you can help shape meaningful technology, take ownership early, and grow with the business!

- Competitive compensation package including a bonus opportunity
- 27 days of annual leave to start, increasing with tenure up to 30 days
- Enhanced pension scheme plus private medical and dental insurance
- Learning & development support and team events budget
- Hybrid working setup depending on role and team needs
- Structured salary bands, levelling framework, and bi-annual development conversations
- Referral bonus program, dog-friendly office, and relocation support where applicable
