Location: United States
Workplace: Onsite
Employment Type: Full time
Job Function: QA, Test & Release Engineering
Seniority: Mid level

Key Responsibilities

  • •Author, validate, and maintain assembly-level and vehicle-level Acceptance Test Procedures (ATPs) and functional test plans to verify safety-of-flight systems.
  • •Execute system-level checkouts, including power-on testing, flight control actuation sweeps, wire harness continuity, sensor calibrations, and integrated avionics testing.
  • •Troubleshoot complex electrical, communication, and mechanical integration failures; diagnose root causes and implement Corrective Actions (CAPA/RCCA).
  • •Train and certify aircraft technicians on executing test procedures using specialized aerospace ground support equipment (GSE) and logging results in the Manufacturing Execution System (MES).
  • •Analyze test data and cycle times to identify bottlenecks and continuously optimize ATPs and automated test scripts to reduce test duration without compromising quality or safety.

Key Requirements

  • •Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace, Electrical, Computer, Mechanical Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • •5+ years of experience in a production test environment focused on aircraft, UAV, or complex aerospace system-level testing.
  • •Proven experience writing and executing hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing, system-level ATPs, and avionics functional checkouts on an active production line.
  • •Familiarity with aircraft communication protocols (CAN bus, Ethernet, RS-232/485) and electronics test equipment (multimeters, oscilloscopes, power analyzers).
  • •Eligible to obtain and maintain an active U.S. Secret security clearance.
