Job description

If you are an experienced engineer with software assurance experience, then please read on!

I am currently recruiting on behalf of a global leader in Defence, who are looking for a number of engineers to ensure the quality and operability of software that will be used on cutting edge projects in the industry.

Please note, this is not a software test position, rather a role that will work alongside developers, engineers, and testers to qualify the software against requirements and present it to the end client.

The Role:

1. Plan and carry out software assurance activities including reviews of plans, processes, witnessing testing, inspections and auditing.
2. Review software plans, documentation and software aspects of system level plans and documents to provide timely and meaningful feedback.
3. Engaging with System Designers, Software Developers and other engineering disciplines in the design process to ensure that software meets requirements.
4. Document the level of risk, provide evidence and reporting for Senior Management.
5. Work with a range of stakeholders at all levels to resolve non-conformances and programme risks.

Any background in a highly regulated industry, such as automotive, rail, oil & gas etc will be considered for this position, ideally from an engineering perspective. Engineers with a systems assurance/validation sort of background would be relevant for this position also.

Please apply today if you are interested!
