    The Aeromechanical team at Pivotal is looking for a Verification Engineer to join our dynamic and hands-on engineering team.

    This role is responsible for end-to-end ownership of verification activities for aeromechanical subsystems. You will take requirements through design, test planning, execution, and reporting, working across both test design and physical testing environments.

    This is a highly cross-functional role that sits at the intersection of requirements, design, test, and validation, and is critical to ensuring the performance, safety, and reliability of our aircraft.
