Manager verification and validation

Job Description We are seeking an experienced Manager – Verification & Validation (V&V) to lead V&V activities for airborne safety-critical electronic systems. The role focuses on planning, execution, and compliance of verification processes in line with DO-254 and certification requirements governed by CEMILAC. The candidate will be responsible for driving structured V&V processes, ensuring traceability, managing teams, and interfacing with certification authorities, while working closely with design, system, and quality teams. Key Responsibilities 1. Technical Leadership • Lead end-to-end Verification & Validation (V&V) activities for FPGA-based and electronic hardware systems. • Define verification strategies, methodologies, and plans aligned with project and certification requirements. • Oversee execution of static and dynamic verification using industry-standard tools (Questa Lint, Questa Inspect, Questa Prime etc.). • Ensure comprehensive coverage through simulation, analysis, and testing approaches. 2. Compliance & Certification • Ensure adherence to DO-254 V&V processes and guidelines. • Drive preparation and review of V&V lifecycle data including test plans, procedures, cases, reports, and compliance matrices. • Maintain complete traceability between requirements, design, and verification artifacts. • Interface with certification authorities such as CEMILAC and support audits and reviews. 3. Project & Team Management • Manage and mentor a team of V&V engineers. • Plan schedules, allocate resources, and track progress across multiple programs. • Identify risks in verification activities and implement mitigation strategies. • Coordinate closely with design, system engineering, QA, and program management teams. 4. Verification Oversight • Review and approve verification plans, test cases, procedures, and reports. • Ensure effective execution of RTL simulation, linting, and advanced verification techniques. • Guide debugging and root cause analysis of design and system-level issues. • Oversee validation activities ensuring readiness for certification reviews. 5. Documentation & Quality • Ensure development of complete and compliant V&V documentation aligned with aerospace standards. • Participate in and lead lifecycle reviews (SRR, PDR, CDR, TRR, etc.). • Ensure adherence to configuration management and version control practices. Key Skills & Competencies • Strong expertise in VHDL, RTL simulation, and digital design verification. • Hands-on experience with verification tools such as Questa Lint, Questa Inspect, and Questa Prime. • Good understanding of verification methodologies and coverage analysis. • Experience in requirement traceability and compliance-driven development. Domain Knowledge • Working knowledge of DO-254 V&V lifecycle. • Familiarity with certification workflows involving CEMILAC, FAA, or EASA. • Experience in safety-critical and regulated environments. Qualifications & Experience Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Electronics & Communication Engineering (ECE) or equivalent. Experience: • Around 10 years of relevant experience in hardware Verification & Validation, with strong exposure to DO-254 compliance. • Prior experience in technical leadership or team management roles preferred. • Experience in aerospace/defence certification environments is highly desirable. Additional / Preferred Skills • Experience with requirement management tools such as IBM DOORS. • Proficiency in scripting languages (TCL, Python, Perl) for automation. • Familiarity with PLM/ALM tools for lifecycle and configuration management. • Exposure to robustness testing, FMEA, and reliability analysis techniques. • Postgraduate qualification or certification in VLSI Design is an advantage. Soft Skills • Strong leadership and team management capabilities. • Effective communication and stakeholder coordination skills. • Ability to manage multiple verification streams in a compliance-driven environment. • Analytical thinking and problem-solving orientation. Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) • On-time delivery of FPGA and embedded deliverables. • Compliance with certification and audit requirements. • Quality metrics including defect density and rework. • Team productivity and capability development.
