Staff Systems Test Verification Engineer

• The Systems Integration & Test Team owns the verification and validation of the entire system as well as key testing infrastructure for the entire organization.
• As a systems verification engineer your responsibility would be to ensure that our products perform to desired specifications and that integrations verifiably meet the needs of internal and external stakeholders. As SPAN expands its product offerings and third party integrations, the Systems Team will play an increasingly critical role in managing the complexity of design, implementation, and test allowing us to rapidly scale while increasing our velocity and improving the quality of our products. You will be a part of our new product qualification pipeline and will be responsible for ensuring the successful verification and validation of our ever-expanding product line.

• Work cross-functionally with the product, integration, firmware, and software teams to design verification and validation plans: review requirements, write test plans, assist test rig design, run and automate testing. This will be a mix of planning and hands-on execution work.
• Take point on lab testing: verify that systems work, thoroughly and under stress (e.g. edge cases, maximum loads, worst case scenarios)
• Reproduce and root-cause issues; work with the other teams to develop and test fixes
• Note: We re a startup, so while this list is broad, it s still just a start; you ll end up wearing many hats during your time at SPAN.
