Albers Aerospace is seeking an experienced Integration and Test Engineer knowledgeable of the full product lifecycle of testing including planning, coordination, execution, and reporting of both developmental and qualification test activities.

This role combines hands‑on test engineering with significant logistical and planning responsibilities. The ideal candidate is comfortable operating in dynamic environments, learning new skillsets, coordinating complex test activities, troubleshooting issues as they arise, and keeping test hardware, schedules, documentation, and resources organized throughout the test lifecycle.

The successful candidate will have prior test experience, practice in systems engineering methods, strong engineering fundamentals, discipline and organization, and the ability to adapt when conditions change quickly.

• Track test prerequisites, open actions, hardware availability, documentation status, and overall test readiness.
• Support test readiness reviews and other pre‑test planning activities.
• Monitor test execution, document test conditions and anomalies, and help ensure test objectives are completed and properly recorded.
• Adapt test activities to changing field conditions while maintaining test objectives, configuration control, and safety requirements.
• Troubleshoot hardware, instrumentation, communications, and basic issues encountered during test preparation and execution.
• Coordinate closely with engineering teams, technicians, program leadership, customers, suppliers, test facilities, and range personnel.
• Collect, organize, and review test data and supporting documentation.
