Project Verification & Validation ManagerMF

Were looking for a Project Verification & Validation Manager to act as the technical link between the solution development testing and implementation teams on a complex systems program. Your core responsibility is structured traceable verification of systems against defined requirements making sure nothing moves forward without evidence that it actually meets what was specified. Youll coordinate several verification and testing teams in close interaction with development and system teams keeping everyone aligned on scope entry/exit criteria and findings. This role sits at the intersection of engineering rigor and cross-team coordination so it suits someone equally comfortable digging into requirements traceability and running the room across multiple teams. Its a great fit for someone who has owned V&V on technically demanding high-accountability programs before.

Details:
Schedule: Full time (40 hours/week)
Location: Onsite (Stockholm)
Start: ASAP
Duration: 12 months with possibility of extension
English: Fluent
Type of collaboration: B2B Contract

About the project:
The project involves verifying complex technical systems against defined requirements before they move through integration testing and implementation. The V&V function serves as the technical bridge between the solution design development testing and system teams ensuring that verification is structured independent and fully traceable back to requirements. Several verification and testing teams work in parallel and their work needs to stay synchronized with development and system teams as the program progresses. Deviations are analyzed by risk and impact gaps between systems are identified and closed and entry/exit criteria are defined and enforced at each stage. The program places strong emphasis on documented evidence verification plans verification reports requirement-system-test traceability matrices and testing KPIs reflecting the technical complexity and accountability standards of the systems involved.

You have:
- A technical or engineering education or equivalent hands-on experience
- Experience in Verification & Validation (V&V)
- Solid understanding of software requirements data and code
- Experience with various verification and testing methods
- Experience with requirements management and requirement-to-test traceability
- Experience with system integration and software testing
- Ability to coordinate multiple teams simultaneously
- Strong analytical skills
- Fluent English

Nice to have:
- Experience with CENELEC EN 50128
- Experience with safety-critical or otherwise complex technical systems
- Background in transportation railway or industrial sectors
- Swedish language skills

What to do:
- Develop and maintain the Verification Plan and Verification Report
- Analyze deviations by risk and impact
- Coordinate verification activities across review integration and testing stages
- Ensure independent verification is carried out
- Keep development and testing teams synchronized
- Conduct gap analyses between systems
- Define entry/exit criteria for each stage
- Review test specifications and scripts
- Maintain requirement-system-test traceability matrices
- Track and report testing KPIs
