Job Description

We are seeking an experienced Testing & Validation (T&V) Lead to define the standard for how we build, test, and ship control software for new Aeroderivate gas turbine units.

Key Responsibilities

Process Architecture: Design and implement robust T&V processes that ensure high-reliability performance of control software and HMI screens. Define the "Definition of Done" for site-specific software releases.
Test Strategy & Automation: Champion the transition from manual, legacy testing workflows toward modern, automated, and scalable validation frameworks.
Documentation Excellence: Author and govern the technical documentation suite for V&V, ensuring compliance with internal engineering standards and safety-critical industry requirements.
Knowledge Management: Serve as the organization’s "Focal Point" for T&V best practices. Analyze field issues and integration failures to lead root-cause analysis (RCA) and convert these findings into improved test coverage and future-state design improvements.
Cross-Functional Leadership: Partner with NPI (New Product Introduction), ITR (Order-to-Remittance), and systems engineering teams to ensure testing requirements are baked into the early stages of the product lifecycle (Shift-Left testing approach).

Requirements

This role requires advanced experience in the Engineering/Technology & Controls Engineering.
Bachelor's degree (Electronics, Mechatronics, Automation, Control or related Engineering field) from an accredited university.
Proved experience in Aeroderivative Control System technologies
Effective written and oral communication skills in English
Analytical and problem solving skills
Medium to Strong knowledge of Agile methodology
Systemic Thinker: You don't just find bugs; you find the systemic process failures that allowed the bugs to exist.
Developer Advocate: You have the ability to influence software developers to prioritize testability in their code, fostering a collaborative, non-punitive quality culture.
Data-Driven: You use metrics (e.g., defect leakage, test coverage, mean time to detect, FPY%) to drive process improvement.
Continuous Improvement: You view "lessons learned“ and “defects” not as a meeting, but as a mechanism to iterate on your own processes.
