- Conduct Verification & Validation (V&V) testing before dispatching Leonardo-generated SW packages for system integration, ensuring high-quality functionality.
Your responsibilities also include:
- Assisting in the authoring of Acceptance Test Procedures (ATPs) linked to the RVTM, tying test evidence to compliance declarations.
- Conducting and documenting Trial Run Testing (TRT) of ATPs at suppliers’ facilities and final training locations.

- Coordinating and participating with Supplier/Customer test managers during Formal Testing phases, including Bug Closure, Factory Acceptance Testing (FAT), Site Acceptance Testing (SAT), and Site Delivery Testing (SDT).
- Ensuring proper documentation of testing efforts: Test Script provision, test equipment allocation, support coordination for Leonardo or Customer SQEP participation.
