Kanatir Kinetics is a Canadian defence technology company in Ottawa. We build uncrewed carriers and the mission software that runs on them. Our engineering discipline is built on measurement rather than claim: we calculate before we buy, test before we claim, and record what failed.

We are contracting a Verification and Systems Engineer. For what we build, the evidence is as much the product as the software. This role owns that evidence.

The work

Building adversarial test corpora across tampered, malformed, stale and unauthorised cases. Running parameterized scenario sweeps for inter-source conflict, degradation and dropout. Maintaining a requirements traceability matrix in which every claim maps to a named artefact and a verification method. Running exit-criteria evidence audits that record what is genuinely supported and what is not.

You would be the person who reads evidence back from disk before it is accepted, and who says "that is not supported" when it is not.

What we need





- Test and verification engineering in a regulated, safety-critical or assurance-driven workplace
- Requirements traceability you have actually maintained, not just read about
- Comfort designing negative tests and adversarial cases
- Willingness to be the person who blocks a claim, and the standing to make it hold

What this is not

Not QA appended to the end of a sprint. The verification approach shapes the architecture, and you would be in those conversations from the start.

To apply, use the form on our careers page and attach your CV. Some work may be subject to Canadian controlled goods and export control requirements, which can affect eligibility; we will discuss this directly. Please send only unclassified, releasable information.

Pay: $55.00-$95.00 per hour

Work Location: Hybrid remote in Ottawa, ON
