Who You Are
You are a Systems Integration, Verification and Validation (IVV) Engineer with a strong end-to-end systems perspective and a passion for demonstrating that complex systems perform as intended. You combine technical rigor, analytical thinking and hands-on problem solving to ensure that requirements are verifiable, testable and ultimately proven through objective evidence.
You are comfortable working across architecture, requirements, software, network, ground, space, operations and service domains, collaborating with system engineers, architects, suppliers and programme teams to identify integration risks early and resolve issues before they impact delivery. You understand that successful verification and validation begins long before formal testing and requires traceability, disciplined engineering and a structured approach to evidence generation.
You thrive in multidisciplinary environments, can navigate complex technical challenges, and are able to communicate test results, risks and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
What You'll Do
As an IVV Engineer, you will contribute to the definition, planning, execution and reporting of integration, verification and validation activities across the system lifecycle, ensuring that the delivered solution satisfies stakeholder needs, system requirements and operational expectations.
Verification & Validation Engineering
Define and maintain verification and validation approaches, methods and success criteria for system, segment and subsystem requirements.
Develop verification matrices, compliance records and traceability between stakeholder requirements, system requirements, test cases and verification evidence.
Support the decomposition of requirements into measurable and verifiable acceptance criteria.
Contribute to the preparation of integration, verification, validation and acceptance plans.
Ensure objective evidence is collected, documented and maintained to support compliance and acceptance activities.
Support audits, reviews and programme milestones by providing verification status, evidence and readiness assessments.
System Integration & Test
Plan and execute progressive integration activities across multiple system domains, suppliers and technical disciplines.
Develop and maintain test procedures, test specifications, test cases and test reports.
Support laboratory, field and operational test campaigns.
Verify interfaces, data exchanges and end-to-end functional behaviour across integrated system elements.
Contribute to test environment preparation, simulation activities, test tooling and automation frameworks.
Support troubleshooting, defect investigation, root-cause analysis and corrective action implementation.
Participate in factory, site, system and end-to-end acceptance activities.
Technical Coordination
Work closely with System Engineering and Architecture teams to ensure requirements are testable and architectures are verifiable.
Coordinate with suppliers, partners and engineering teams to establish test readiness, test configurations and evidence expectations.
Assess technical changes and identify impacts on integration, verification and validation activities.
Monitor verification progress, identify gaps, risks and dependencies, and support mitigation actions.
Contribute to technical reviews, design reviews, test readiness reviews and acceptance boards
Continuous Improvement
Support the development of reusable test assets, test automation capabilities and verification methodologies.
Contribute to lessons learned, process improvements and engineering best practices.
Promote a culture of evidence-based decision-making, quality and engineering discipline throughout the programme.
What You'll Need
Essential Qualifications & Experience
Degree in Telecommunications, Systems Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, Aerospace Engineering or a related technical discipline.
Experience in Integration, Verification & Validation (IVV/IVVQ), System Integration & Test (SIT), System Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
Experience developing and executing test plans, test procedures and verification activities for complex systems.
Understanding of systems engineering lifecycles, requirements management and configuration management processes.
Experience working in multidisciplinary engineering environments involving multiple suppliers and stakeholders.
Strong analytical, troubleshooting and problem-solving skills.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
Technical Knowledge
Experience in one or more of the following areas is desirable:
Satellite communications and non-terrestrial networks.
4G/LTE and 5G/3GPP systems.
User terminals, gateways and ground segment systems.
IP networking, transport networks and service platforms.
RF systems and communications engineering.
Cloud, virtualized and software-defined infrastructures.
Test automation, scripting and data analysis tools.
Laboratory and integration environment setup and operation.
Key Competencies
Strong systems thinking and end-to-end technical understanding.
Ability to manage complexity across multiple engineering domains.
Attention to detail and commitment to engineering quality.
Collaborative approach with strong stakeholder engagement skills.
Ability to make evidence-based recommendations and technical assessments.
Structured and methodical approach to problem solving.
Comfortable operating in dynamic, fast-paced and innovative programme environments.
Where You’ll Work
The position will be based within the SpaceRISE Common Segment Integrated Project Team at ESTEC in the Netherlands, working in an integrated environment with personnel originating from SES, Eutelsat and Hispasat and in close interaction with Grantor and ESA teams.
Regular interaction with Consortium Members, Segments, Ground Control Centres, industrial partners and European institutional stakeholders will be required.
