We are seeking a highly skilled Verification & Validation (V&V) Manager with a strong background in systems engineering and extensive experience in testing and validation of complex products. While direct experience in the space industry is valuable, we also welcome candidates from adjacent high-complexity domains such as autonomous vehicles, drones, defense, or aviation.
This role is critical to ensuring that our products meet mission and customer requirements through the development, execution, and oversight of robust verification and validation strategies. The V&V Manager will lead both the technical and managerial aspects of the team—driving V&V philosophy, test infrastructure development, and test execution while also guiding, mentoring, and developing a high-performing engineering team.
We need a hands-on leader who combines deep technical expertise with proven team management skills. You will be responsible for ensuring that our products not only pass their tests, but also that those tests robustly validate mission and customer successwhile building and guiding the V&V team to deliver at the highest standards.
