Are you passionate about software quality, test automation, and safety-critical engineering Do you enjoy solving complex verification challenges and building automation solutions that improve engineering efficiency

Join our team as a Principal Verification Engineer – Avionics V&V & Test Automation and help deliver high-quality avionics software through rigorous verification, intelligent automation, and industry-leading safety standards.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a talented Software Engineer with 10–14 years of experience to contribute to software Verification and Validation (V&V) for safety-critical avionics systems.

In this role, you will work across software verification, hardware-software integration, structural coverage analysis, resource margin analysis, and test automation. You will develop tools using C# and Python to streamline verification activities, improve test coverage, and drive greater automation across the software verification lifecycle.

Working closely with cross-functional engineering teams, you will help ensure that avionics software meets stringent aerospace quality and certification requirements, including DO-178B/C.

If you enjoy combining software engineering expertise with analytical problem-solving and automation innovation, this role offers an opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the technologies that power modern aviation.

What You'll Do

Drive safety-critical software verification: Perform software Verification and Validation activities in accordance with DO-178B/C guidelines and applicable project requirements.
Lead hardware-software integration testing: Execute black-box integration testing using emulator-based environments to validate system behavior, interfaces, and functional performance.
Ensure structural coverage and model quality: Perform structural coverage analysis and model coverage analysis to demonstrate verification completeness and support certification objectives.
Analyze system resource margins: Conduct memory, stack usage, and timing margin analysis to assess software resource utilization and support reliable system performance.
Build intelligent test automation: Develop and enhance verification tools using C# and Python to maximize test automation, improve repeatability, and reduce manual verification effort. Experience with NI LabVIEW will be an added advantage.
Verify avionics communication interfaces: Work with communication protocols such as CAN, ARINC 429, AFDX, and Time-Triggered Protocol to support robust avionics system integration.
Manage configuration and change control: Use engineering and configuration management tools such as Polarion, IBM DOORS, Synergy, and TortoiseSVN to maintain traceability, manage changes, and support controlled software development.
Collaborate across engineering teams: Engage with Strategic Business Units (SBUs) and cross-functional stakeholders for technical discussions, issue resolution, reviews, and demonstrations.
Contribute to Agile delivery: Participate in Agile engineering activities, including Scrum, Kanban, Program Increment planning, feature development, user story creation, and backlog tracking.
Drive continuous improvement: Identify opportunities to strengthen verification processes, introduce new technologies, improve automation, and enhance engineering productivity.
Embrace new technologies: Learn emerging tools and techniques quickly and apply them effectively with minimal dependency on others.
