Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your design verification expertise in a cutting-edge field. You’ll work alongside collaborative and innovative teammates.

You'll play a crucial role in ensuring that our designs for turnkey and electrification systems, as well as signalling solutions, are fit for their intended use. Day-to-day, you’ll work closely with teams across the business (such as system design, testing, and safety assurance teams), manage project standards and requirements, and oversee compliance monitoring using IBM DOORS DNG. You’ll also contribute to the definition and execution of verification and validation (V&V) strategies and ensure seamless integration between in-house and on-site testing activities.

You’ll specifically take care of interfacing with design teams to share and detail V&V activity results, but also support the construction, integration, and validation phases of the project.

We’ll look to you for:

• Managing project standards across the full project lifecycle, including tracking revisions, ensuring compliance, and addressing issues with system teams and clients
• Defining verification methodologies for selected deliverables in alignment with approved V&V strategies
• Reviewing test plans and descriptions for in-house verification activities
• Performing, documenting, and reporting assigned verification, integration, and test activities
• Collaborating with the Safety Assurance Manager to review verification results for safety demonstrations
• Providing and analyzing data to maintain KPIs and dashboards using Power BI for project tracking and reporting
• Identifying risks, scope gaps, and grey areas, and escalating concerns to ensure schedule adherence and project success
• Participating in Return of Experience (REX) sessions to drive continuous improvement
