The role covers requirements-based testing, automation, structural coverage, test-tool qualification and audit-ready evidence within a DO-178C Level A programme.\nThis role is fully onsite and is based at our HQ in Groby, Leicestershire. This is a fixed-term role, initially for one year, with a likelihood of extension. Candidates must have the right to work in the UK. Due to the nature of the work, additional eligibility requirements may apply. The engineer will work within the software team but collaborating closely with cross-functional teams and quality control throughout the V-lifecycle.\nKey Responsibilities\nDevelop and maintain verification plans, procedures, test cases, scripts, reports and coverage matrices in accordance with approved project and safety plans.\nDerive normal, boundary, robustness, failure-injection and timing tests from approved high- and low-level requirements and design.\nMaintain bidirectional traceability between requirements, design, tests and test results.\nPerform target-based, software-software integration, hardware-software integration, system and regression testing.\nSupport statement, decision and MC/DC coverage analysis; investigate coverage gaps, dead code and unintended functionality.\nSupport failure investigation and root-cause analysis.\nConduct independent formal reviews and verification activities as per the approved plans.\nRecord and verify anomalies, perform change-impact analysis, and define regression testing strategy.\nEnsure all test artefacts, tools, scripts, equipment configurations and results are reviewed, baselined and configuration controlled.\nDevelop Python-based test automation, reusable libraries, test data and result-processing utilities.\nAutomate the test environment, including the interface board, pressure-control equipment, power supplies and other laboratory instruments.\nEnsure traceability between approved test cases, automated scripts, software builds, test data and results.\nSupport qualification of verification tools under DO-330/ED-215 and ensure tools are used within their approved or qualified scope.\nEssential Experience & Skills\nExperience verifying safety-critical or high-integrity embedded software on target hardware.\nPractical knowledge of DO-178C or a comparable safety lifecycle, including requirements-based testing, independence, traceability and objective evidence.\nPython test automation and experience with embedded C/C++ and debugging.\nExperience producing and reviewing controlled test plans, procedures, cases, scripts, reports and traceability evidence.\nKnowledge of boundary-value analysis, equivalence-partition, state-transition, decision-table, robustness and fault-injection testing.\nUnderstanding of statement, decision and MC/DC structural coverage.\nExperience with Git/GitHub, CI workflows, defect management and controlled software baselines.\nHands-on use of oscilloscopes, DMMs, logic/protocol analysers, programmable power supplies or automated test instruments.\nStrong technical writing, analytical, fault-isolation and evidence-based problem-solving skills.\nDesirable Skills\nDO-330/ED-215 software tool qualification.\nKnowledge of pressure sensors, avionics, calibration, compensation algorithms or pressure-control systems.\nRobot Framework and structural-coverage tools such as Parasoft C/C++test, LDRA or Cantata.\nWorst-case execution-time analysis using Rapita/RapiTime or a comparable tool.\nSPI, I2C, UART/RS232 and CAN.\nExperience working with IBM DOORS.\nMISRA C/C++, static analysis, hardware-in-the-loop testing and deterministic test-rig control.\nCI/CD pipeline configuration or integration using GitHub Actions.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3849,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United Kingdom","iso":"GB","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Manufacturing","Supply Chain","Nonprofits & Foundations"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-02T19:57:08Z"}],"visa":[{"country":"GB","licensed_sponsor":true,"evidence":"Licensed UK visa sponsor (Skilled Worker, Senior or Specialist Worker)","filings_12m":null,"filings_prev_12m":null,"green_card_filings_12m":null,"median_offered_wage_usd":null,"route":"Skilled Worker;
