Location: North Bristol

Levels: Multiple levels of experience considered

Akkodis is looking to recruit 5 Aerospace Systems Test Engineers at various levels to support a growing portfolio of aircraft systems integration, verification and test activities in North Bristol.

We’re interested in speaking with engineers from a range of aerospace test backgrounds, from hands-on Systems Test Engineers through to more experienced engineers with responsibility for test benches, technical coordination and leadership.

What you’ll be involved in:

• Systems integration, verification and validation of aircraft systems
• Preparation, execution and reporting of engineering test activities
• Working with laboratory rigs, test benches and aircraft-level test environments
• Analysis of test data and investigation of system or software issues
• Fault finding, troubleshooting and root-cause analysis
• Requirements traceability, configuration management and change impact analysis
• Supporting certification and product verification activities
• Working closely with systems, software, test and wider engineering teams
• At more senior levels, coordinating test activities, managing test benches and providing technical guidance

• Experience with in aerospace systems engineering, integration, V&V or test
• Knowledge of aircraft systems, ideally including Landing Gear, Braking and/or Steering systems
• Experience working with laboratory rigs, test benches or aircraft-level test environments
• Experience interpreting engineering requirements and producing test documentation
• Strong test data analysis, troubleshooting and fault-finding skills
• Experience with requirements traceability and configuration management
• Familiarity with tools such as DOORS, Excel, Python, MATLAB or similar engineering/test tools would be beneficial
• Previous experience with ATA
  32 systems would be particularly useful, although isn’t essential for every position

With 5 positions available at different levels
, we’re open to engineers with slightly different backgrounds where there is strong transferable experience in aerospace systems integration, verification, validation and testing.
