Job Summary

Lead planning, integration, and execution of flight test activities using surrogate platforms, including crewed test-beds with representative payload pods, full-size mock-ups, and powertrain rigs to characterize subsystem performance before integration into air vehicles. Develop, review, and execute right-sized test plans for surrogate flight test activities, efficiently capturing and reporting learnings, and making recommendations as inputs to design. Lead integration of Vehicle and Mission System components onto surrogate platforms for characterization in representative flight envelopes (altitude, airspeed, temperature, vibration). Evolve and demonstrate Support System design with full-size mock-ups. Coordinate crewed surrogate operations including pod integration, instrumentation, pre-flight checks, and mission planning. Support subscale UAS flight operations for software and subsystem development teams. Plan and execute powertrain rig operations for powertrain and control system integration testing. Ensure safety of airborne test environments through structured hazard identification and risk management. Coordinate test range access, airspace approvals, spectrum approvals, and operational permissions across CONUS and UAE locations. Implement and maintain processes for configuration control of surrogate test assets and installed instrumentation. Support Flight Test Instrumentation (FTI) integration, including telemetry systems, for real-time data during surrogate flights

Required Qualifications

  • Bachelor degree or higher in Aerospace, Mechanical, Electrical, Systems Engineering or aviation related technical discipline
  • 5+ years experience in flight test operations, preferably with uncrewed or autonomous air systems (Group 3 or larger)
  • Experience integrating subsystems, payloads, and flight test instrumentation (FTI) onto flight platforms, including telemetry and real-time monitoring
  • Knowledge of airspace management, flight test safety and test range operations
  • Adept at working safely with high voltage systems, including integration, checkout and test
  • Strong test engineering foundation — DAQ setup and operation, sensor selection and installation, fluency in common communication protocols (CAN, Ethernet, Serial), and command line interface (CLI)
  • Extremely organized and detail-oriented, excellent verbal and written communication skills (effective for broad audiences)
  • A sincere commitment to a positive, inclusive, and collaborative culture
  • Defense Industry background desirable
  • Eligible to obtain and maintain a security clearance in United States, United Kingdom, or Australia
