Verification and Validation (V&V) Engineer

As a Verification and Validation (V&V) Engineer at Einride, you will be responsible for reviewing verification specifications, planning test activities on the track, collaborating with development teams to create high-quality verification materials, and providing valuable inputs to the strategic V&V development plan. Additionally, summarizing and reporting on testing progress and results will also be a key part of your role.

To qualify for the Verification and Validation (V&V) Engineer position at Einride, candidates should hold a Bachelor's degree in engineering or a related field, possess over three years of experience in verification and validation of software-controlled systems, and have insight into autonomous systems. Familiarity with virtual verification methods like SIL, HIL, and simulation is highly desirable.

Einride values collaboration and open discussion, especially in the Verification and Validation (V&V) Engineer role. As part of your job, you will work closely with diverse teams, where sharing perspectives and constructive dialogue are encouraged. This collaborative approach helps in delivering innovative solutions and ensures effective development processes while cultivating a rich workplace culture.

Strong written and verbal communication skills are crucial for a Verification and Validation (V&V) Engineer at Einride. You will be responsible for summarizing test activities and results, which requires clear and concise reporting. Proficiency in English is essential, and knowledge of Swedish is a plus.

The working environment at Einride for a Verification and Validation (V&V) Engineer is innovative and supportive. You will engage with cutting-edge technology in a workplace that encourages creativity and solution-oriented thinking. Einride is committed to sustainability and creating meaningful impact, making for a fulfilling and dynamic atmosphere for professionals.

To ensure the quality and completeness of verification specifications, I focus on thoroughly understanding the system requirements and aligning them with the verification goals. I also collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to gather comprehensive feedback and review existing documentation, ensuring everything is precise and actionable.

My experience with autonomous systems involves working on projects where I tested software functionalities in self-driving technology. I became proficient in verification methodologies specific to autonomous vehicles, such as using simulation for testing scenarios, which I believe directly correlates with the responsibilities of a V&V Engineer at Einride.

I am well-versed in various virtual verification methods, including Software-in-the-Loop (SIL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing. I utilize these methods to simulate real-world scenarios and verify system behavior without the need for physical prototypes, which saves time and resources.

My approach to problem-solving in verification processes is systematic. I break down the issue into manageable parts, analyzing each element for possible constraints or errors. I leverage data analysis tools to spot trends and patterns that may indicate the root cause, enabling me to develop effective solutions rapidly.

I find that a combination of both exploratory and scripted testing strategies yields the best results. Exploratory testing allows for the identification of unexpected issues, while scripted testing ensures that all specified functionalities are validated thoroughly, creating a balanced verification process.

When reporting on testing progress and results, I aim for clarity and transparency. I would summarize the metrics and outcomes clearly, while also providing context to the data. This includes highlighting any critical issues encountered and recommendations for addressing them, thus empowering stakeholders with comprehensive insights.

In a previous role, I collaborated with a development team on an autonomous navigation project. Regular meetings facilitated open communication, allowing us to align on testing requirements and tackle any discrepancies together. This collaboration not only enhanced trust but also produced high-quality results.

I am passionate about verification and validation because it directly influences product reliability and user safety. Knowing that my work ensures that autonomous systems operate flawlessly is very rewarding. The challenge of continuously improving testing methods keeps me motivated and engaged.

I stay updated with the latest trends by subscribing to industry journals, attending webinars, and participating in professional networking groups related to V&V and autonomous technology. This helps me stay informed about new methodologies, tools, and best practices, enabling continuous professional growth.

My ideal working environment would be collaborative and innovative, where diverse ideas can be shared openly. I thrive in spaces that encourage creativity as well as provide opportunities for professional development. A supportive culture that respects individual contributions while working towards a common goal would be perfect for me.
