About the Role
We’re looking for an experienced engineering professional to lead, grow and develop a group of System Verification Engineers based in Cambridge. Reporting to and working with the System Verification Group Lead, this role will help deliver the vision of the Verification Group and provide technical leadership while supporting department level strategy.
Responsibilities
The System Verification Group is part of the Design Evaluation Department and is responsible for delivering formal verification activities to ensure new software and hardware releases meet all the system and sub-system requirements to enable regulatory submissions and releases to the field.
The group also conducts design level verification on prototype products to assess the impact on the existing requirements and assist with generating any new requirements and associated protocols that may be required due to new product developments. The role is predominantly technical but also includes line management responsibilities. As a senior member of the System Verification group your responsibilities will include:
- Working with the Head of Design Evaluation, other System Verification Team Leads, Project Managers and others as required to resource project teams effectively.
- Identifying, promoting, and delivering internal improvement projects including the development, automation and maintenance of processes to ensure efficient delivery to the highest standards.
- Line management of your team covering recruitment, technical leadership, mentoring and training of team members.
- Working with the System Verification Group Lead to deliver their vision for the Group and provide feedback of their team through regular 1-2-1s and ad hoc meetings.
- As part of a multi-disciplinary team planning, leading and delivering project tasks within agreed timescales and budget from early-stage design in accordance with ISO13485. This includes hands-on testing alongside your team on the end-to-end System.
- Developing test protocols for new products to ensure they fully verify system and sub-system requirements, including identification of suitable test equipment and statistical methods for data acquisition and analysis.
- Working with Regulatory and other stakeholders to determine the impact on verification activities of design changes, standards changes and regulatory requirements for the introduction of new products.
- Ensuring best practice and compliance with MDR and FDA documentation requirements.
- Working with other areas of the business to ensure all health and safety, training and equipment calibration processes are complied with.
We’re a high growth company and roles can change and evolve. You’ll need to be willing to turn your hand to anything within the System Verification remit that supports the team with delivering its objectives.
About you
With a solid background in Engineering, you will have experience of leading a technical team in an interdisciplinary environment. We would also expect you to have an inquisitive nature, high attention to detail, excellent verbal and written communication skills and an innate drive to ‘get things done’.
In addition, you should have a strong degree in a relevant engineering or technical discipline, extensive industry experience and:
- Experience of growing and leading technical teams with a genuine desire to help and support team members so that we can all achieve our best
- Experience of driving verification activities for complex Systems comprising mechanical, electronic and software elements.
- Proven ability to create verification methods from requirements with a broad knowledge of implementing test equipment to facilitate testing.
- Experience of operating under formal design control processes which meet the requirements of ISO13485.
- Strong project and activity planning skills, with the ability to understand and communicate priorities.
- A Systems Engineering mindset to enable the impact to verification to be understood when development changes occur.
