  • Familiarity working in multi-disciplinary design and development teams.

  • Knowledge of requirements management, system design, and systems integration.

  • Exposure to planning, conducting and documenting Verification and Validation (V&V) activities.

  • Ability to read schematics, use service manuals, follow test procedures, and use logical trouble shooting techniques.

Qualifications We Prefer:

  • Experience with various testing equipment, standards, and methodologies to include manual and automated testing.

  • Ability to prepare complex and professional test plans, test procedures, and test reports in order to demonstrate compliance to system requirements.

  • Familiarity with Product and Quality Assurance principles and experienced in generation and disposition of product non-conformances.

  • Experience performing certification testing for various certification organizations (i.e. FAA, NASA, DoD).

  • Background in the Aerospace and Defense Industry.

Essential Functions:

  • Ability to work on a computer for extended periods.

  • Ability to lift up to 25 lbs regularly.
