What you need

  • 4-10+ years of experience in a relevant industry.
  • 1+ years of experience in systems integration and test, system test, or verification and validation for complex hardware/software systems
  • Ability to collaborate across diverse teams (autonomy, embedded, systems, operations, product) and drive alignment without direct authority.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
  • Experience planning and executing integration or systems-level test campaigns, including scenario design, success criteria and analysis.

Nice to have

Worth weighing
