Strong understanding of requirements-based testing, verification planning, test coverage and requirements traceability, with experience reviewing requirements, designs, code and verification evidence. Proven ability to identify verification gaps, challenge technical assumptions and assess whether software has been adequately verified within a formal development lifecycle. Experience developing and/or verifying safety-critical software to standards including IEC 61508, ISO 26262, DO-178B/C or IEC 62304, with knowledge of ASPICE and MISRA.
