Key Notes
Safety-critical verification and validation experience, including team management, is requested for this full-time Bristol role. Within Power and BMS, you will define item-level evidence for battery and high-voltage systems spanning hardware and software. A relevant engineering degree and ARP4754 understanding are requested; direct BMS or HIL-environment experience is desirable.
What You'll Work On
- Set BMS and high-voltage verification strategy, defining item-level plans and compliance evidence across hardware, software and the associated system requirements.
- Oversee automated HIL and other test environments, maintaining traceability from requirements through test results and presenting evidence for certification review.
- Lead V&V engineers and coordinate systems, hardware and software teams, setting technical standards for verification rigour and the quality of evidence.
Why This Role Matters
- Valo’s battery and power systems combine hardware and software behaviour, requiring item-level verification that addresses their interaction within the aircraft’s safety-critical electrical architecture.
- Certification review depends on a traceable evidence chain, making consistent requirements, verification plans and test results necessary to explain what system behaviour has been demonstrated.
What They Are Looking For
- Qualification: Relevant qualifications include electrical, systems, aerospace or computer engineering degree.
- Experience: Relevant experience includes safety-critical V&V and team management in aerospace, automotive or energy.
- Technical: Relevant technical capabilities include ARP4754, compliance evidence and DOORS/Jama or MBSE environments.
- Preferred: Preferred attributes include BMS/HV systems, HIL and DO-160/DO-178C/DO-254.
