Systems Engineer (Test & Validation)
About Alta Ares
Alta Ares is a deeptech startup founded in 2024, building real\-time AI for defense operations — ISR, C\-UAS, and autonomous systems. Our clients are NATO\-aligned militaries and defence institutions, with regular deployments during live exercises and operational demonstrations. We raised €2M seed in May 2025, 50M in June 2026, and are expanding fast.
Our product suite includes:
- Real\-time AI ISR module deployable on drones and tactical platforms
- Counter\-UAS solution enabling autonomous drone takeover in GNSS\-denied environments
- Full\-stack MLOps platform for training \& deploying military\-grade AI models
- Data fusion and trajectory prediction
-------------------
- Define system\-level validation and verification (V\&V) strategies
- Ensure alignment between system requirements, test coverage, and operational use cases
- Establish acceptance criteria and validation methodologies
- Write test plans, protocols, and detailed test procedures
- Coordinate and execute test campaigns (lab, simulation, and field testing)
- Ensure structured and repeatable validation processes
- Ensure full traceability between requirements, tests, and results
- Maintain clear mapping across system specifications and validation artifacts
- Contribute to compliance and certification efforts (CE, aerospace or equivalent)
- Analyze test results and identify gaps, failures, or performance deviations
- Drive root\-cause analysis and coordinate corrective actions with engineering teams
- Continuously improve validation processes and system reliability
- Design and implement test tools, frameworks, and automation pipelines
- Improve test efficiency, scalability, and reproducibility
- Support the development of simulation and hardware\-in\-the\-loop (HIL) environments
- Work closely with R\&D teams to improve system testability and robustness
- Provide feedback on system design from a validation perspective
- Manage validation documentation, reports, and test evidence
