The Role
Reporting to the Test & Validation Team Lead, you will take ownership of the end-to-end software testing and validation lifecycle for one or more products operating within software simulation and emulation environments.
Your responsibilities will cover test planning, execution, technical investigation, analysis and reporting.
Key Responsibilities

Develop an understanding of software architecture and system design to define appropriate test environments and test-bed requirements. Produce comprehensive software test plans, specifications and test designs. Identify appropriate test approaches across the software development lifecycle.
Test & Validation Execution
Perform progressive software testing and assurance throughout development cycles. Lead technical investigations into software defects, unexpected behaviours and system performance issues. Support software integration activities, trials and technical demonstrations with engineering partners and customers. Analyse software logs and test data to identify issues and demonstrate compliance against requirements. Execute formal software qualification and acceptance testing. Work closely with software, systems and engineering teams to resolve issues and improve product quality.
