About the role

  • Our team leverages automation, AI-driven tools, and a fully connected digital backbone to accelerate innovation and reduce barriers to production.
  • Here, you won't just take a job - you'll help reinvent how the world flies.
  • If you're ready to solve complex problems, push technology further, and work alongside some of the brightest minds in aerospace, this is your chance to make a real impact.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and execute validation and reliability test plans for electromechanical and integrated systems.
  • Design and build test setups, fixtures, instrumentation, and data collection systems for engineering validation activities.
  • Support environmental, functional, durability, vibration, thermal, and lifecycle testing of prototype and production-intent hardware.
  • Support root cause investigations and failure analysis activities across hardware and integrated systems.
  • Develop automated test scripts, data processing tools, or reporting workflows using Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, or similar tools where appropriate.
  • Document test procedures, results, findings, and recommendations clearly and concisely.
  • Support prototype builds, integration efforts, and rapid iteration cycles in a fast-moving hardware development environment.
  • Participate in design reviews and provide feedback related to testability, reliability, and validation strategy.
  • Engineers who like building, testing, and debugging real hardware.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related field.
  • 5-8 years of experience in hardware test, validation, reliability, or systems integration engineering.
  • Experience with instrumentation, DAQ systems, sensors, and engineering lab equipment.
  • Experience troubleshooting hardware failures and supporting root cause investigations.
  • Strong understanding of engineering fundamentals including mechanics, thermal systems, electronics, or controls depending on background.
  • Experience working in lab and prototype environments with evolving hardware.
  • Ability to analyze and communicate technical data clearly.
  • Experience with environmental or durability testing including vibration, thermal cycling, humidity, or shock testing.
  • Experience with aerospace, automotive, robotics, defense, or other high-performance hardware systems.
  • Familiarity with standards such as DO-160, MIL-STD-810, IEC, or similar environmental qualification frameworks.
  • Hands-on experience developing and executing engineering test campaigns on electromechanical systems.
  • Strong cross-functional communication and collaboration skills.
