Your main responsibilities include:
Drive and coordinate validation activities across projects, ensuring structured planning, execution, and traceability between requirements, verification, and validation results

Collaborate with system engineering, design, and test teams to ensure robust system-level performance and compliance
Contribute to continuous improvement of validation processes, tools, and methods across the organization
Support and guide teams on test coverage, validation methods, and quality decision-making

Experience in validation, testing, or verification of complex products or systems
Understanding of requirements management, traceability principles, and quality/compliance standards
Familiarity with structured development processes and tools (e.g., traceability tools, test management systems)
It is a plus if you also:
Exposure to systems engineering or Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) approaches
Experience with root cause analysis and defect handling in product development contexts
Experience working in Agile/Scrum development environments
