Verification Engineer

About the JobIndustry: Electric Aviation / Advanced Air Mobility Location: VermontThis role sits within the Fly-by-Wire Flight Control team at a pioneering electric aviation company developing aircraft and charging infrastructure from the ground up. The organisation is working across the full development lifecycle, from early-stage design through to certification and production, with a clear mission to decarbonise aviation.The Verification Engineer will play a hands-on role in ensuring the flight control system and its integration with key subsystems meets the rigorous safety and performance standards required for certification. This is a technically demanding position suited to engineers who thrive in a lab environment, take pride in test rigour, and want their work to have a direct impact on flight safety and programme progression.Responsibilities:Execute, automate, and analyse verification testing for the aircraft flight control system and related subsystems including inceptors, flight control computers, GNC algorithms, propulsion motors, batteries, and actuatorsRun tests across SiL, HiL, bench, and integrated system rig environments, including combined flight control, battery, and electric propulsion configurationsAuthor test cases, procedures, and scripts with clearly defined pass/fail criteria, maintaining full traceability to system and software requirementsCollaborate with system architects and discipline engineers to refine test plans, review results, and resolve discrepanciesImprove lab repeatability and rigour through better procedure development, results recording, and hardware/software configuration controlPlan and execute test campaigns, producing clear reports, dashboards, and coverage summaries to communicate status and riskSupport lab equipment setup, maintenance, and organisation, ensuring a safe and productive test environmentBuild and maintain data acquisition and visualisation pipelines to accelerate analysis and decision makingAutomate test execution and regression suites, contributing to continuous integration and test infrastructureDocument lab tools, instruments, and user guidelines, and support onboarding of new lab usersParticipate in issue triage and root-cause investigations, tracking defects through to closure with engineering ownersRequired Experience & Skills:Bachelor's degree in Aerospace, Electrical, Mechanical, Systems, Computer Engineering, or related field2+ years of experience in verification and test within control systems, avionics, automotive, robotics, or other safety-critical domains — strong graduates with relevant project or internship experience are encouraged to applyHands-on experience executing tests in HiL/SiL or similar environments working with integrated electromechanical systemsStrong test development and planning skills including writing test cases and procedures, defining data collection logic, and generating reportsWorking knowledge of requirements traceability, configuration management, and defect trackingProficiency in scripting and data analysis, particularly PythonFamiliarity with aerospace safety practices such as ARP4754A, ARP4761, DO-178C, and DO-254Practical lab skills with a safety-first mindset and strong attention to detailClear communication and collaboration skills in a fast-moving, cross-functional environmentDesirable / Additional Qualifications:Experience with Polarion ALM for requirements and test managementHands-on experience with dSPACE, Speedgoat HiL, NI VeriStand, or LabVIEW platformsExposure to flight test support, instrumentation, or post-flight data analysisFamiliarity with CAN, Ethernet, and common avionics or industrial interfacesExperience with DAQ hardware and associated data pipelinesMATLAB/Simulink experience for modelling and analysis
