Validation and Verification Engineer

Systems V&V Engineer

Based in Bristol

Salary up to £55,000 + bonus + strong benefits

This isn’t just testing.

This is proving that a system designed to protect lives actually works when it matters most.

You’ll be working at the heart of a Command & Control system, the brains behind how threats are understood, prioritised, and dealt with in real time. Complex, high-stakes engineering where “good enough” simply isn’t.

What you’ll be doing:

Defining real-world test scenarios for complex systems

Setting success criteria that actually mean something

Verifying systems against requirements, not just ticking boxes

Working across the full lifecycle, with exposure to multiple engineering disciplines

What you’ll bring:

Systems Engineering experience on software-led products

Experience in verification, validation, or test environments

Familiarity with tools like DOORS, Rhapsody, or SysML helps, but isn’t essential

Why this role:

You see the whole system, not just your piece of it

You work on real defence capability, not theory

You’re trusted to think, not just follow process

You’ll be stretched, supported, and developed

On top of that:

Bonus, strong pension, paid overtime

Up to 15 extra days leave

Real investment in your development

You’ll need to hold current British citizenship and be eligible for UK security clearance.

If you want to work on systems that genuinely matter, and be part of proving they’re ready, this is worth a conversation.
