You will support the development team during early-stage testing and technology maturation, operating with autonomy the testing activities associated with commercial engines and propulsion systems (acceptance, qualification and recurring production tests). This role is a key part of our testing and hardware validation activities. You will work hands-on with propulsion components, systems, test benches and ground support equipment at our Test Center, ensuring that every element that leaves our facilities has been rigorously verified. As Arkadia expands its product range and increases production, this role will take on greater responsibility in planning, coordination and improvement of testing activities. What you'll be doing * Support development test campaigns from early prototypes to qualification units * Execute acceptance testing of already qualified components (thrusters, tanks, etc.) and complete propulsion systems. * Test types include hot-firing, pressure testing (e.g., leak, proof, burst) and environmental (e.g., vibration, thermal vacuum) * Prepare and review test plans, procedures and test readiness documentation * Analyze test data and produce technical reports * Coordinate test execution with development, systems and A&I teams * Investigate anomalies and contribute to root cause analysis * Ensure compliance with internal safety standards and test facility procedures * Contribute to the evolution and optimization of test benches and GSE * Improve documentation, repeatability and efficiency of recurring test activities ## Related Videos - [Agile work at CARIAD – Creating a customer web application for controlling the vehicle ](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/200-agile-work-at-cariad-creating-a-customer-web-application-for-controlling-the-vehicle) - [Dirty Tests And How To Clean Them](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/515-dirty-tests-and-how-to-clean-them) - [WeAreDevelopers LIVE - Modern DevOps for IoT Devices and More](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1805-wearedevelopers-live-modern-devops-for-iot-devices-and-more) - [Using non-functional testing to guide user interface, backend services, voice interface, and media development](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/231-using-non-functional-testing-to-guide-user-interface-backend-services-voice-interface-and-media-development) - [More efficient software for more efficient microchips](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1164-more-efficient-software-for-more-efficient-microchips) - [How to develop an autonomous car end-to-end: Robotic Drive and the mobility revolution](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/22-how-to-develop-an-autonomous-car-end-to-end-robotic-drive-and-the-mobility-revolution) ## Related Articles - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [The 8 Best Code Testing Tools](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/402-the-8-best-code-testing-tools) - [The Most Popular IT Jobs on the Market](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/376-the-most-popular-it-jobs-on-the-market) - [Dev Digest 121 - AI goes offline](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/456-dev-digest-121-ai-goes-offline) - [The 12 Best Jobs for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/401-the-12-best-jobs-for-software-engineers) - [Where To Find Software Engineering Jobs](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/396-where-to-find-software-engineering-jobs)
