More about this role
This opening for a Level II Test Engineer, Components, is aimed at individuals who have established a base in aerospace testing, operations, or a similar engineering field. It is designed for engineers prepared to assume increased responsibility for executing tests and developing test systems. Those applying for the this position can anticipate working on Firefly's Component Test Stand. Test Engineers partner with responsible engineers from across all programs (Alpha, A330/MLV, Blue Ghost and Elytra) and across the company to test and validate hardware in the pursuit of developing, qualifying, and accepting flight components.
Engineers on this team are responsible for not just partnering with their fellow engineers to hash out plans to test components to their flight-like limits, but also developing the required infrastructure, mechanical, electrical and software, to support these tests. Engineers are expected to be fast on their feet, adaptive and responsive to challenges. They are expected to be in the field, working in hands on and time sensitive applications.
