Integration Test Engineer

Your role and your team:

The Lab Test and Experimental team is responsible for various disciplines covering component, system, and whole aircraft tests. It is set up in three divisions: Testing, Test Management and Test Operations. Our team runs tests that facilitate certification, development, and research for the technology areas: Propulsion Systems, Energy Storage, Structures, Environmental Tests, and Hardware in the Loop (HIL).

You will report directly to the Engineering Manager of Integration & Environmental Tests, and will be working on Integration Test Beds, running open and closed loop Hardware in Loop (HIL) simulation of aircraft systems and subsystem.

As an Integration Test Engineer, you will have end-to-end responsibility of sophisticated integration test from its initial request until delivery of the test data, always keeping the goal of qualification and certification of our aircraft in mind. In your daily work you will closely collaborate with our world most talented development team members in different disciplinaries like avionics, autonomous flight, propulsion, energy etc.

As HIL Engineer you will be responsible for:

• Assessment of test requests and refinement together with the design team
• Liaison with test experts from different test departments, like Propulsion Testing, Energy Testing, Flight Testing.
• Identification of instrumentation requirements in relation to aircraft, system and sub-system specifications.
• Design and develop custom test equipment for data acquisition, measurement, failure injection etc. including creation of procedures and documentation.
• Design and develop custom test equipment for System Integration system with Avionics or Integrated Modular Avionics Systems.
• Integration of HIL test rigs, plant models and real subsystem of aircraft to the closed loop HIL test setup to provide end to end representation of the aircraft.
• Take the ownership of critical aspects of the system verification cycle.
• Develop the System integration test procedures for ATA-23/ATA-34/ATA-42 systems.
• Perform the test execution with automated test tools and measurement equipment for verification and validation activities.
• Evaluation of test reports and the test results.
• Creation of Failure Analysis Reports/defect reporting when required.
• Report and discuss test results with the system development team.
• Work on any ad hoc related tasks or projects provided by management.
