What are some common challenges faced by Verification Validation Engineers during the product development lifecycle?

Verification Validation Engineers often encounter challenges such as tight project deadlines, evolving product requirements, and coordinating across multidisciplinary teams. They must ensure that both hardware and software components meet stringent quality and regulatory standards, which can require extensive test planning and documentation. Additionally, balancing thorough testing with the need to deliver products to market quickly demands strong organizational and communication skills, as well as adaptability to shifting priorities.

What is the difference between Verification Validation Engineer vs Quality Assurance Engineer?

AspectVerification Validation EngineerQuality Assurance Engineer
CertificationsISO, Six Sigma, ISTQBISO, Six Sigma, ISTQB
Work EnvironmentProduct development, testing labs, manufacturingProcess improvement, audits, compliance
Industry UsageElectronics, software, manufacturingElectronics, software, manufacturing

The Verification Validation Engineer focuses on testing and validating products to ensure they meet specifications, while the Quality Assurance Engineer emphasizes process quality and compliance. Both roles often collaborate but serve distinct functions in product development and quality management.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Verification Validation Engineer, and why are they important?

To excel as a Verification Validation Engineer, you need a strong background in engineering principles, testing methodologies, and a degree in electrical, computer, or software engineering. Familiarity with verification tools like MATLAB, Simulink, test automation frameworks, and knowledge of industry standards (such as ISO or DO-178C) are often required. Attention to detail, analytical thinking, and effective problem-solving and communication skills are essential soft skills for this role. These qualifications ensure accurate system validation, compliance with regulatory requirements, and the delivery of reliable products.

What are Verification Validation Engineers?

Verification Validation Engineers are professionals responsible for ensuring that products, systems, or software meet specified requirements and function as intended. They design and execute tests to verify that the product works according to its design specifications (verification) and validate that it fulfills the intended use and user needs (validation). Their work helps identify defects, ensure quality, and minimize risks before a product is released. These engineers collaborate closely with design, development, and quality teams throughout the product lifecycle. Their role is essential in industries such as aerospace, automotive, medical devices, and software development.

ETL Data Migration Validation Engineer (IV&V)

Revolutional, LLC

Mclean, VA • Remote

Full-time

Medical, Dental, Vision, Life, Retirement, PTO

Posted 18 hours ago

Job description

Revolutional delivers advanced technology solutions and mission support to federal agencies across civilian, health, and national security environments. We apply modern capabilities, including AI/ML, cloud, cybersecurity, and IT modernization to solve complex challenges, enable faster and more secure operations, and drive measurable mission outcomes.

We are redefining how federal technology gets built and delivered by operating with a product mindset, prioritizing speed, ownership, and execution over bureaucracy.

Description

Title: ETL Data Migration Validation Engineer (IV&V)

Location: Remote

Terms: Full-time

Clearance: Ability to obtain a Public Trust

Travel: 0%

Project Description

FEMA's Grants Management Modernization (GMM) initiative is a large-scale effort to consolidate and modernize multiple legacy grant systems into a unified enterprise platform. This includes the migration of active financial and grant transaction systems with high data volumes and complex business rules.

The IV&V team operates independently from development teams and is responsible for validating the accuracy, completeness, and integrity of data migrated from legacy environments into the modernized platform.

This role is primarily focused on data migration validation and reconciliation. It is not a UI-focused or manual regression testing position.

Position Description

The ETL Data Migration Validation Engineer will be responsible for independently validating large-scale data migrations across platforms (e.g., Oracle, PostgreSQL, CSV-based sources) involving high-volume datasets (100K–250K+ records).

This role requires strong, hands-on SQL expertise and the ability to work directly from mapping documentation—often without direct access to the source database. The ideal candidate must be comfortable designing reconciliation strategies, performing set-based comparisons, validating composite keys, and identifying discrepancies across systems.

Approximately 70–80% of this role is dedicated to data migration validation and reconciliation.

Responsibilities:

  • Data Migration Validation & Reconciliation

    • Independently validate data migrated from legacy systems to the GMM platform using complex SQL queries.
    • Perform set-based comparisons (e.g., EXCEPT/MINUS logic, full outer joins) to identify missing, extra, or mismatched records.
    • Reconcile high-volume datasets (100K+ records) across source and target environments.
    • Validate composite key integrity and multi-table joins based on mapping documentation.
    • Detect and resolve data multiplication caused by improper join logic.
    • Validate incremental loads versus full data loads.
    • Identify and analyze discrepancies related to null handling, outer joins, and transformation logic.
    • Validate cross-platform migrations (e.g., Oracle to PostgreSQL, CSV to database).
    • Perform validation when direct source database access is unavailable, leveraging staged data, flat files, and documentation.

    Schema & Data Integrity Validation

    • Validate schema alignment, data types, constraints, and field-level transformations.
    • Identify truncated values, formatting discrepancies, whitespace anomalies, and encoding issues.
    • Support checksum/hash total validation techniques where applicable.
    • Reverse engineer transformation logic when documentation is incomplete.

    Independent IV&V Execution

    • Operate independently from development teams to provide objective validation findings.
    • Document defects and reconciliation findings clearly and concisely.
    • Participate in Agile ceremonies to align validation efforts with migration releases.
    • Provide risk-based recommendations to federal stakeholders regarding data accuracy and integrity.

Requirements

  • U.S. Citizen eligible to obtain and maintain a Public Trust clearance.
  • 5+ years of hands-on SQL experience, including complex joins, subqueries, aggregates, and set-based comparisons.
  • Demonstrated experience validating large-scale data migrations (100K+ records).
  • Direct experience performing source-to-target data reconciliation.
  • Experience working from mapping documents to validate field-level transformations.
  • Experience validating composite keys and multi-table relationships.
  • Experience identifying null-related discrepancies in outer joins.
  • Experience validating cross-platform migrations (e.g., Oracle, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, CSV).

Desired

  • Experience supporting federal modernization programs.
  • Experience validating financial or grant-based transactional systems.
  • Familiarity with ETL processes and data staging environments.
  • Experience working in an Independent Verification & Validation (IV&V) capacity.
  • Exposure to hash/checksum validation techniques.
  • Familiarity with Agile methodologies.
