What you'll do
Own Assembly, Integration & Test (AIT) planning for avionics and vehicle-level hardware, from procedure authoring through execution and close-out.
Define test requirements, acceptance criteria, and traceability back to design and system requirements.
Lead integration of subsystems (avionics, harnessing, sensors, actuators) into the vehicle, coordinating with design engineers and technicians.
Diagnose integration anomalies and drive root-cause analysis and corrective action.
Develop and maintain AIT tooling, fixtures, and ground support equipment requirements.
Support test readiness reviews and maintain build/test documentation in line with traceability requirements.
Support test and launch campaigns on-site, including at external test ranges as required.
Who you are
Degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent demonstrable experience.
Experience in AIT, test engineering, or systems integration for complex electromechanical/aerospace hardware.
Able to author and execute detailed test procedures and interpret results against requirements.
Comfortable working hands-on alongside technicians as well as at a planning/engineering level.
Strong root-cause problem-solving skills under time pressure.
Willingness to travel to test/launch sites as required.
What we offer
