We integrate deliverable hardware and deliverable software during production testing in our Orlando facility and then deliver the advanced Pilot Training Devices to our customers at their US and international locations. We take pride in our work because we know that pilots gain proficiency in our flight simulators that directly translates to effectiveness when they operate the F-35 aircraft in real-world tactical situations. Specific responsibilities include: * Plans, implements, tests, documents, and maintains solutions for the integration and testing of in-house developed and COTS/GOTS components, elements, subsystems and/or systems. * Creates manufacturing test procedures of repeatable processes to test hardware based upon hardware drawings and to efficiently configure hardware and network settings based upon system integration documents, for execution by test technicians. * Within 6 months of start date, expected to travel to US and International customer sites to install and test F-35 Pilot Training Devices (flight simulators). * Plans and arranges the labor, schedules, and equipment required for testing and evaluating standard and special devices at Orlando and at customer sites. * Compiles data and defines changes required in testing equipment, testing procedures, manufacturing processes, or new testing requirements. * Expected to eventually serve as the program's project manager to lead cross-functional teams during customer on-site installs. WHO WE ARE Our functional group, the Production Operations SI/TE team, is composed of professionals with a common purpose to provide the pilots of the United States and our Allies with high quality pilot training devices. We are the connection between each program's development engineers who integrate new capabilities into subsystems and the remainder of our Production Operations organization who create high quality products in repeatable processes. We have a unique role that gains expertise in both deployable hardware and deployable software. WHO YOU ARE As a Production Operations Si/TE, you understand the interoperability of subsystems within the system that you produce. While development engineers may know their subsystem better you, no one on the program knows the entire system better than you. Government customers, program managers, and other engineers come to you when they need a holistic assessment. You are curious and maybe a bit of a tinkerer, but you know how to focus your efforts to provide a high-quality product that is on time and within budget. WHY JOIN US When you join our team, you'll be part of a dynamic and supportive work environment that values collaboration, growth, and innovation. We offer opportunities for training and development to help you build your career. Our mission-driven organization is dedicated to making a positive impact in the world, and we're looking for talented and passionate individuals to help us achieve our goals. ## Related Videos - [WebAssembly: The Next Frontier of Cloud Computing](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/972-webassembly-the-next-frontier-of-cloud-computing) - [Docker network without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1418-docker-network-without-docker) - [Improving quality with Agentic AI with Rovo Dev and Xray](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2005-improving-quality-with-agentic-ai-with-rovo-dev-and-xray) - [Security Pitfalls for Software Engineers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/726-security-pitfalls-for-software-engineers) - [Generating code with Angular schematics](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/129-generating-code-with-angular-schematics) - [Docker exec without Docker](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1094-docker-exec-without-docker) ## 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) - [What’s the Difference between a Junior, Mid, and Senior Developer?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/238-what-s-the-difference-between-a-junior-mid-and-senior-developer) - [Should senior developers refuse interview coding challenges?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/29-should-senior-developers-refuse-interview-coding-challenges) - [Is Software Engineering Over-Saturated?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/418-is-software-engineering-over-saturated) - [Software Engineer Salary London](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/252-software-engineer-salary-london)
