We are looking for an system validation manager to lead the company’s end-to-end experimental and system-validation activities for complex unmanned and multidisciplinary systems. The role requires a strong engineering leader who can translate system requirements into well-defined experiments, lead hands-on execution, analyze results, and deliver clear engineering conclusions and recommendations.
Responsibilities
Own test and validation activities from requirement understanding through planning, execution, analysis, reporting, and closure.
Work with System Engineering and R&D teams to define test objectives, scenarios, methods, instrumentation, and measurable pass/fail criteria.
Write professional test plans, procedures, readiness checklists, and final test reports with clear traceability to requirements.
Plan and lead laboratory, ground, field, and flight-test campaigns for UAVs, docking stations, payloads, communication systems, and other subsystems.
Ensure full test readiness: system configuration, test equipment, instrumentation, safety, range/logistics, personnel, and data collection.
Lead hands-on test execution, troubleshoot issues in real time, and make sound engineering decisions in dynamic field environments.
Analyze logs, telemetry, measurements, and system behavior; identify failures, trends, root causes, and gaps requiring further investigation.
Drive post-test debriefs, conclusions, lessons learned, corrective actions, and regression/verification activities.
Lead and develop the experiments/test team, establish professional standards, prioritize activities, and continuously improve test methodology.
Requirements
B.Sc. in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical, Systems Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
5+ years of experience in system testing, validation, integration, or experimental engineering for complex multidisciplinary systems.
Proven experience independently defining and writing engineering tests, including objectives, procedures, acceptance criteria, and reports.
Experience analyzing system logs and test data and converting findings into clear engineering conclusions and actions.
Experience with UAVs, robotics, aerospace, defense, autonomous systems, or other field-operated multidisciplinary platforms — highly preferred.
Proven experience building, managing, and developing a team of test / validation engineers.
Ability to lead people and activities while remaining deeply involved in the technical details and field execution.
Excellent communication and documentation skills in English; Hebrew proficiency is an advantage.
