Job Description
Safety-Critical Verification Engineer
Oxfordshire, UK
Hybrid (3 days a week onsite)
Permanent
An exciting opportunity has arisen to join an innovative engineering business developing advanced safety and assurance technologies for autonomous and AI-enabled systems operating within highly regulated environments.
As autonomous technologies become increasingly utilised across aviation, defence and mission-critical applications, organisations require robust verification, certification and safety monitoring capabilities to enable safe deployment at scale. This company is developing solutions that provide an independent layer of assurance across autonomous platforms, ensuring compliance, reliability and operational safety in environments where failure is not an option.
Working alongside leading organisations across aerospace, autonomy and defence, you will join a highly specialised engineering team focused on developing technologies that support the safe deployment of next-generation autonomous systems. This is an opportunity to contribute to cutting-edge programmes that will help shape the future of autonomous aviation and safety-critical AI systems.
Key Responsibilities:
Define and execute verification and validation strategies for safety-critical software and systems
Develop verification plans, test frameworks and certification evidence
Support software verification activities against recognised aviation and safety-critical standards
Perform requirements-based testing, verification and validation
Maintain requirements traceability and compliance throughout the development lifecycle
Generate certification artefacts and compliance documentation
Conduct integration, qualification and system-level testing
Work closely with software, systems and safety engineers to ensure programme objectives are achieved
Support the continual development of assurance frameworks and verification processes
Contribute to certification, airworthiness and regulatory approval activities
Support the development of runtime safety monitoring and fail-safe architectures for autonomous platformsKey Skills
Strong background in safety-critical verification and validation
Experience operating within regulated engineering environments
Understanding of software development lifecycles and verification processes
Experience with requirements-based testing and traceability
Knowledge of embedded systems and real-time software
Experience generating certification evidence and compliance documentation
Understanding of advanced testing methodologies such as automated testing, simulation-based verification, fault injection, fuzz testing or similar techniques
Strong analytical and problem-solving capabilities
Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement skillsDesirable Skills:
Experience working to DO-178C or equivalent safety-critical software standards
Aerospace, defence or autonomous systems experience
Exposure to DAL A or DAL B programmes
Knowledge of ISO 26262, IEC 61508 or other functional safety standards
Experience with SIL, HIL or SIH verification environments
Formal methods or static analysis experience
Verification of flight control systems, avionics or other mission-critical systems
Knowledge of aviation certification frameworks, airworthiness requirements or operational safety assessments
Experience supporting UAV, UAS, eVTOL or autonomous vehicle programmes
Exposure to mathematically verified software, runtime assurance architectures or advanced safety frameworksWhat You Get In Return:
Flexible hybrid working (3 days per week onsite)
Opportunity to work on cutting-edge autonomous and AI-enabled technology
Exposure to advanced verification, certification and assurance methodologies
Professional development within a highly specialised engineering environment
Opportunity to work alongside some of the industry's leading experts in autonomy and safety-critical systems
Involvement in technology that will support the future deployment of autonomous aircraft, defence systems and intelligent platforms
The chance to play a key role in solving one of the biggest challenges facing autonomous technology: trust, safety and assuranceInterested?
