Overview
FLIGHT TEST ENGINEER - Contractor/Consultant
role at
AeroTEC - Aerospace Testing Engineering & Certification Inc.
The primary role is as a Flight Test Engineer who coordinates test and certification requirements, authoring and executing flight and ground test plans for a wide variety of aircraft platforms including FAA Part 23, 25, 27 and 29, as well as new and novel technology demonstrator programs such as electric and hydrogen propulsion. This role requires the exercise of independent discretion and judgment in matters of significance. Additional opportunities exist to support other teams as company needs dictate.
Find out exactly what skills, experience, and qualifications you will need to succeed in this role before applying below. Responsibilities
Coordinate test and certification requirements. Author component-level qualification test plans and procedures, aircraft-level certification plans, flight and ground test plans, and associated test hazard analysis (FAA Order 4040.26); coordinate with customers and regulatory authorities as required. Author FTEO (Flight Test Engineering Order) packages for test-specific installations. Generate and review appropriate test limitations documentation. Plan all aspects of a test campaign (test schedule, sequence, test setup requests, experimental ticket process, logistics, resources, third-party support, airport and airspace coordination, test readiness, safety of flight, etc.). Support ground operations, including weight and balance activities, fuel management, pre-flight and post-flight and ground test data collection. Serve as an onboard test crew member in roles such as Test Director, Instrumentation Operator or Flight Test Engineer as necessary.
