Tasks

-Plan and execute requirements-based verification: write test plans, procedures and cases; build HIL benches/fixtures and automate tests in Python/LabVIEW/MATLAB -Design rugged, miniaturized production and flight test instrumentation -Develop long-term calibration infrastructure (fixtures, procedures, asset tracking, firmware hooks for stored constants) -Hands-on work around HV/LV electrical systems -Collaborate closely with Flight Test, Systems, Software, Manufacturing, and Certification teams -Optional: Develop embedded C firmware (sensor drivers, timing/sync, comms) and internal tools for visualization, automation, and calibration -Conduct schematic capture and PCB layout (Altium/KiCad) -Implement BIT and production/EOL test strategies; ensure instrumentation is non-interfering with certified aircraft systems -Support DO‑160 environmental/EMC testing and ARP4754A requirements/traceability with clear, auditable documentation

Requirements

• python
• c++
• altium
• can-fd
• bachelor ee
• arp4754a
