Aircraft Test Engineer

The Challenge:

When the U.S. Air Force acquires a new aircraft or makes significant hardware or software changes for their aircraft systems, testing is required, and it’s expected to be intuitive and run smoothly. Thus, an experienced test engineer who knows how to thoroughly conduct testing to ensure a systematic, well documented test and test data process is provided to our clients. 

As a test engineer, you will work with fellow testers, hardware and software developers, aircraft operational and maintenance personnel, Air Force System Program Offices, and engineers. You’ll develop test plans, test procedures, and test methods or criteria based on end-user requirements. You’ll execute the adopted test scenarios and generate test data to determine software and hardware performance within an operational environment, to include documenting and communicating results to meet system-to-system compliance.

Work with us as we develop testing solutions to ensure the next generation of weapons systems work seamlessly on U.S. aircraft.
