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 test methodologies to characterize performance, durability, and environmental robustness
- Design tests to uncover edge cases, failure modes, and system limitations early in development
- Build and scale internal reliability lab capabilities, including test stands, fixtures, instrumentation, and data acquisition systems
- Lead execution of reliability and characterization testing on prototype hardware
- Manage external test vendors (e.g., environmental and specialized test labs)
- Provide structured assessments of design readiness and residual risk
- Partner closely with Systems, Mechanical, and Electrical Engineering teams
- Support failure investigations by providing high-quality test data and observations
- Contribute to pre-certification readiness by validating designs against expected environmental and operational conditions
Requirements
- Minimum of 8 years of experience in reliability engineering, validation testing, or system-level hardware testing
- Strong understanding of mechanical, electrical, and environmental stress testing methods
- Ability to translate requirements into structured test plans and measurable outcomes
- Strong data analysis and problem-solving skills with the ability to interpret complex test results
- Strong communication skills with the ability to convey technical findings clearly
- Experience with aerospace, automotive, robotics, or consumer hardware systems
- Experience with accelerated life testing, fatigue testing, and environmental stress testing
Nice to have
- Define reliability and validation test strategies for complex electromechanical systems based on system requirements and expected use conditions
- Translate engineering requirements into structured, executable test plans and success criteria
- Define lab workflows, safety practices, and repeatable test processes
- Select, procure, and integrate test equipment required for mechanical, electrical, and environmental testing
- Establish calibration, data integrity, and test traceability practices
- Instrument systems and test setups to capture meaningful, high-quality data
- Run mechanical, thermal, electrical, and combined stress tests across relevant operating conditions
- Adapt test approaches dynamically based on observed behavior and emerging risks
