What you will do

• Support implementation and continuous improvement of engineering quality processes across systems, software, hardware, and verification and validation teams.
• Review systems and software work products for completeness, consistency, process adherence, and objective evidence across the development lifecycle.
• Assess bidirectional traceability from product and system requirements through software requirements, design, implementation, testing, anomalies, and release evidence.
• Verify requirements allocation, verification linkage, change impact assessment, and updates to affected work products and trace links.
• Document quality risks, nonconformities, and gaps; support root cause analysis and corrective and preventive actions through closure.
• Prepare audit evidence, monitor quality and traceability metrics, and verify release artifacts, configuration items, and baselines are controlled and traceable.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in computer science, computer engineering, systems engineering, electrical engineering, or a related technical field.
• Typically 5–7 years of experience in systems engineering, software engineering, engineering quality assurance, process assurance, or a related discipline; equivalent relevant experience may be considered.
• Working knowledge of systems and/or software development lifecycles, including requirements engineering, architecture, design, implementation, integration, verification, and validation.
• Understanding of requirements management and end-to-end bidirectional traceability, including decomposition, allocation, change impact analysis, verification methods, and coverage assessment.
• Familiarity with safety-critical product development and quality management practices, including exposure to ISO 26262, ASPICE, ISO/SAE 21434, ISO 21448, or ISO 9001.
• Experience reviewing engineering work products for completeness, consistency, compliance, and objective evidence.
• Familiarity with lifecycle management, requirements management, defect tracking, configuration management, and test management tools.
• Strong analytical, problem-solving, communication, collaboration, prioritization, and issue-resolution skills.
• Commitment to continuous improvement, process discipline, product quality, and safety.

Nice to have

• Experience with autonomous vehicles, ADAS features, or robotics platforms.
