Components
Test Engineer to join our growing team. In this role, you willlead and support thefull Verification and Validationlifecycleof advanced avionicscomponentsand subsystems for aerospace applications.
You willbe responsible for planning, executing, and documenting component-level tests across all phases—frominitialboard bring-up through functional testing, acceptance testing, and qualification testing—ensuring allavionicscomponents meet performance specifications and reliability standards in demanding aerospace environments. You will collaborate closely with design, hardware, and software teams throughout the product development lifecycle.
- Design and implement functional test procedures to verifycomponentperformance against design specifications.
- Develop automated test scripts and sequences to improve test efficiency and repeatability.
- Perform electrical characterization and validation of components under various operating conditions.
- Analyze test data and provide feedback to design teams for continuous improvement.
- Execute acceptance test procedures in accordance with program requirements and customer specifications.
- Plan and conduct environmental qualification testing including thermal cycling, vibration, shock, and EMI/EMC testing.
- Debug hardware issues at thecomponentand/orboard level using oscilloscopes, logic analyzers, and other lab equipment.
- Develop andmaintaincomprehensive test documentation including test procedures, verification matrices, test reports, and requirements traceability based oncomponentspecifications.
- Participate in key technical reviews (design, test readiness, etc.) to support flight and test readiness of avionics components and sub-systems.
- Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineeringor Computer Engineering.
- Years of experience in avionicscomponenttest engineering for aerospace applications (spaceflight, satellites, spacecraft, or similar) inline with engineering level.
- Hands‑on experience with board bring‑up and hardware debugging.
- Proficiency with lab equipment including oscilloscopes, multimeters, power supplies, function generators, and logic analyzers.
- Understanding of digital and analog circuit principles.
