Job description

Develop and execute comprehensive test plans and protocols for aerospace systems, propulsion units, and UAV payloads. Analyze and interpret test data to assess system performance, identifying anomalies and areas for optimization. Collaborate with engineering teams to refine designs based on testing outcomes. Ensure compliance with aerospace industry standards and safety regulations. Manage testing facilities and equipment, ensuring all systems are calibrated and maintained for precision testing. Lead failure investigations and develop solutions to enhance system reliability. Work with suppliers, manufacturing, and quality teams to ensure testing requirements are integrated into the production process. Support field testing campaigns, including environmental and real-world operational tests.

Requirements

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field. Experience with aerospace testing methodologies, including environmental, structural, or propulsion system testing. Proficiency in test instrumentation, data acquisition systems, and analysis tools. Familiarity with testing software (e.g., LabVIEW, MATLAB, Python, or equivalent). Understanding of aerodynamics, propulsion, and system integration principles. Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work in fast-paced, high-pressure environments. Strong communication and teamwork skills-you’ll be working across multiple disciplines. English proficiency (our working language).

Nice-to-Have:

Experience with explosive testing, kinetics, or high-speed aerodynamics. Knowledge of regulatory requirements for aerospace testing (DO-160, MIL-STD-810, etc.). Familiarity with hypersonic or high-speed flight testing methodologies. Experience with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA). Previous experience in wind tunnel or flight test environments.
