## Description

As a Integration Test Engineer, you will develop and execute avionics test campaigns. You will cover a broad scope of electrical systems taking them through procedure development, execution on the flight vehicle, and nonconformance resolution. These seemingly simple tests often require creative solutions that require first-principles thinking. Your work will be vital in transitioning the space station from a design to a built and tested station ready to host humans in space., * Develop, execute, and maintain test procedures for flight hardware

 * Evaluate if testing processes meet all requirements including safety, quality, function, and efficiency; if they do not, rectify the situation.
 * Plan technical and logistical details to enable efficient completion of tests.
 * Enable day-to-day execution of the vehicle integration and test flow.
 * Collaborate with distributed engineering organizations, subject matter experts, and technicians to define and manage test plans, requirements, and schedules, design tests, and assess risks in an ambiguous environment.
 * Act as test director and exercise technical authority for testing events
 * Disposition non-conformances, make risk-informed corrective actions, and exercise engineering judgment in ambiguous situations.
