• Co‑engineer with project teams on requirement clarity and completeness of the requirements database.
• Define and manage verification plans (qualification, acceptance) for RF components, SAR payload, PDHT, and TT&C systems.
• Apply ECSS verification and testing standards; create and maintain verification control documents (VCD/DVCM).
• Use DOORS/Polarion for verification activities; support internal and customer‑facing boards for verification validation (VCB).
• Define test requirements and test plans for integrated satellite level; manage changes and evaluate test results.
• Participate in test campaigns, including overseas, and produce test evaluation reports.
• Support completion of verification cycle with final VCDs and VCBs.

Qualifications

• Experience in RF systems, particularly SAR, on‑board image storage/transmission, and TT&C.
