Flight Test Engineer

Plan, scope, and execute flight tests to evaluate vehicle performance, control behavior, and system reliability. Act as the primary interface between engineering and flight test operations, translating technical requirements into test objectives and ensuring effective feedback loops from the field. Analyze flight test data to assess vehicle dynamics and subsystem interactions, providing actionable insights to design and systems teams. Develop Python- and SQL-based analysis tools for data visualization and trend detection. Use SIL and HIL environments to validate software updates and control algorithms. Identify failures and performance deviations to drive root cause analysis and continuous improvement. Contribute to test plans, procedures, and reports while maintaining traceability to system-level requirements.
