WMG is a vibrant, cutting-edge research institution at the University of Warwick, one of the world’s leading research and education groups with state-of-the-art technologies. WMG hosts one of the seven centres for High Value Manufacturing (HVM) Catapult.

The verification and validation (V&V) team at WMG are undertaking a programme of research and engineering across the verification and validation spectrum. The physical world of mobility and infrastructure are merging with the digital world of simulation, AI, software, and data. With the emergence of evermore complex systems comes evermore complex challenges. Chief among these challenges, that of assuring safety. Prerequisite for safety of such complex systems is to have a good systems engineering process.

The V&V team are in the process of enhancing their educational offering in systems engineering and systems thinking, which is a foundational skill for the workforce of today and tomorrow. This will build on the board range of research and engineering work the team have undertaken within systems engineering in the domains of connected and automated mobility. A specific focus will be on Systems Theoretical Processes Analysis (STPA) for which the team are establishing international recognition having contributed to the first international recommended practice on STPA. You will be working responsible for designing and creating teaching offerings in systems engineering for professionals as well as UG/PG students.

The V&V group is globally recognised, with the research and engineering teams siting on global standards & regulatory committees as the UK representatives (i.e. ISO TC 204/WG14 and ISO TC22/ SC33/ WG9), being lead author of international standards on self-driving shuttles/ pods, and contributing to many more standards (i.e. ASAM OpenODD, OpenLABEL, BSI 1889 & BSI 1883). Along with having developed the world’s largest public database of test scenarios for CAV’s, Safety Pool Scenario Database, and leading on a pillar of the UK Governments pioneering CAM Test Bed programme, Midlands Future Mobility.

This is an exciting opportunity for you to develop your own professional profile and work as part of a successful team, contributing to the development of its teaching and learning activities.
