About Our Transition to Ondas Sentinel
DZYNE Technologies was recently acquired by Ondas Inc. (NASDAQ: ONDS) and, together with World View, has joined forces to create Ondas Sentinel. Ondas Sentinel is a next‑generation U.S. defense platform integrating long‑endurance ISR, autonomous systems, counter‑UAS technologies, and mission intelligence.
While DZYNE is now part of Ondas Sentinel, we are still legally operating as DZYNE as we complete the formal integration of our systems and processes. As a result, you may see roles cross‑posted across DZYNE and World View, during this transition. All positions represent opportunities within the same combined organization.
What does this mean for candidates?
- You’re joining a team that is accelerating the future of autonomous defense.
- You’ll be part of a company backed by significant investment, strong growth, and mission‑proven technology.
- You’ll work alongside world‑class engineers and innovators who have already delivered thousands of operational flight hours, high‑impact ISR capabilities, leading counter‑UAS systems, and breakthrough autonomous effects.
- You’ll help shape a unified platform that enables operators to see more, decide faster, and act with confidence across the modern battlespace.
Together, Ondas Sentinel is building something bigger than any one company, a scalable, integrated defense organization designed to meet emerging mission needs with speed, precision, and purpose.
If you’re energized by ambitious missions, rapid innovation, and a chance to help define the future of autonomous defense, we’d love to have you on the team.

Tips for Your Verification And Validation Engineer Job Search
Tailor your resume to the domain
Hiring managers in aerospace and medical devices are screening for domain-specific experience, not just V&V methodology. Call out the industry your verification work covered, the standards you worked under, and the specific test environments you owned.
List standards and frameworks explicitly
Postings for verification and validation engineers nearly always require experience with a specific standard, such as DO-178C, ISO 13485, or ASPICE. Pull the exact standard names from each job listing and mirror them in your resume to clear automated screening.
Separate verification artifacts from test execution
Recruiters and hiring managers distinguish candidates who write verification plans, trace matrices, and requirements from those who only run tests. Your resume should make it clear which artifacts you authored, not just which tools you used to execute cases.
Apply early to roles that fit
Migrate Mate lists verification and validation engineer openings from across the United States in one place, so you can find roles that match and apply directly to each listing.
Prepare a technical walkthrough for interviews
Most V&V engineer interviews include a scenario where you're asked to verify a requirement end-to-end. Practice explaining how you'd trace a requirement from the specification through the test case to the pass or fail result, including how you handle gaps or ambiguous requirements.
Negotiate using the full offer package
V&V roles in regulated industries often come with lab access, tool licenses, and training stipends that carry real value. Before accepting, ask specifically about access to simulation environments, certification reimbursement, and whether travel to test sites is compensated separately.
Verification And Validation Engineer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies are hiring the most verification and validation engineers?
The companies hiring the most verification and validation engineers right now include Zoox, Katalyst Healthcares & Life Sciences, and Motional Ad, with the largest share of openings in California, Texas, and Massachusetts, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of November 2026. Demand is concentrated in aerospace, defense, and regulated medical device manufacturers.
How many verification and validation engineer jobs are remote?
About 69% of verification and validation engineer openings are fully remote or hybrid as of November 2026, which is lower than in many software roles because hands-on lab and hardware access is often required. Software V&V and requirements traceability work tends to be the most remote-friendly sub-area of the discipline.
How do you become a verification and validation engineer?
Start with a bachelor's degree in engineering, then gain hands-on experience writing test cases or verification plans, ideally in a regulated environment such as aerospace, automotive, or medical devices. Learn the standards that govern your target industry, get comfortable with requirements management tools, and pursue relevant certifications as your experience grows.
How do you get hired as a verification and validation engineer with little experience?
Entry-level V&V roles are most accessible at defense contractors and medical device companies that hire new graduates into structured programs. Emphasize any coursework or projects involving requirements analysis, test design, or system integration. A working knowledge of one domain standard and experience documenting test results formally will differentiate you from candidates who only list general engineering skills.
What does the verification and validation engineer interview process look like?
Most V&V engineer interviews include a phone screen focused on your domain background, followed by a technical interview where you walk through a verification scenario from requirements to test evidence. Hiring managers typically probe your understanding of traceability, how you handle ambiguous or untestable requirements, and your experience with the standards relevant to their product line.
Where can I find and apply to verification and validation engineer jobs?
You can find and apply to verification and validation engineer jobs on Migrate Mate, which lists current openings from across the United States. Search for roles that match your industry background and experience level, then apply directly to each listing that fits.
