Systems Test & Integration Engineer (Python / V&V)
A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a Systems Test & Integration Engineer to join a highly skilled engineering team, supporting the integration, verification, and validation of advanced digital simulation and experimentation systems. Working across the full product lifecycle, you will play a key role in ensuring complex software-based simulation products are thoroughly tested, validated, and customer-ready for delivery.
This role is responsible for planning, executing, and reporting on software testing and systems integration activities within a collaborative engineering environment. Reporting to the Integration & Systems Validation Team Lead, you will work closely with software, systems, and project teams to deliver high-quality, mission-critical simulation capabilities.
Key Responsibilities
- Develop software test strategies, plans, and specifications based on customer and system requirements.
- Perform functional, integration, and qualification testing of complex software systems.
- Support the integration of software products within simulation and emulation environments.
- Investigate software defects and unexpected system behaviour, identifying root causes and supporting resolution activities.
- Analyse software logs and test data to demonstrate compliance against system requirements.
- Produce detailed test reports and technical documentation to support qualification and certification.
- Provide regular progress updates to engineering teams and project stakeholders.
- Support software release activities, customer demonstrations, integration events, and engineering trials.
- Contribute to continuous improvements in testing methodologies, automation, and integration processes.
- Collaborate within Agile development teams throughout the software development lifecycle.
