ABOUT THE ROLE

The company is seeking a Graduate V&V Engineer with relevant experience to join the team. We are looking for a highly motivated graduate engineer to join our team in a hybrid role that bridges Jama administration and V&V engineering.
In the first phase of your role, you will be focused on enhancing and maintaining our Jama documentation and requirements workflows, including HTML/CSS-based template customization for exports and building a standards-based library of reusable components. Over time, this focus will decrease as you transition into more technical V&V responsibilities, such as software and hardware testing, test automation, and systems validation.
This is an excellent opportunity to grow into a multi-disciplinary role across requirements management, documentation tooling, and V&V practices.
