Verification & Validation Lead

Can you imagine making sure life‑critical medical devices are safe, compliant and ready for the real world?

Lead the verification and validation activities for safety‑critical medical devices in a highly regulated environment. As the Verification & Validation Lead, you will define risk‑based V&V strategies, coordinate multidisciplinary teams, manage EMC verification campaigns with accredited laboratories, and ensure compliance with medical device regulations and quality standards. Acting as the central point of contact for V&V activities, you will drive successful product verification, certification, and release while promoting continuous improvement across testing processes.

At ERNI, you are never just a number. You will work in interesting projects, and you will feel part of the team, always supported.

With people. Besides your team and manager, you will have several support figures like a godparent, who will help you with the practical and administrative aspects of daily life during your first 6 months.

And the second most important person after you, your mentor, who will guide you through your entire onboarding and career at ERNI. You will have regular 1:1 meetings with them, and recurrently, you will work on your development plan to define your short-, medium-, and long-term goals.

At ERNI, we highly value experience and technical knowledge. As a senior profile, you will have the space to continue growing, whether by deepening your technical skills or having greater influence on project decisions, with autonomy and the opportunity to share knowledge with other experts.

And if you are interested in mentoring, there is also space for that: supporting other ERNIans while still focusing on the technical excellence that sets us apart.
