Operational Test Engineer (OTE)

The OTE is responsible for planning, coordinating, and administering performance tests on aeronautical equipment, controls, systems, and other related products. This role involves designing and directing engineering and technical personnel in the testing process, as well as overseeing the development, procurement, installation, and calibration of instruments and equipment essential for testing activities. The OTE plays a crucial role in determining test conditions, sequences, and phases, exercising control over operational aspects, and resolving testing problems in collaboration with scientific, engineering, and technical teams.

Typical duties include performance test planning, test conduction, engineering coordination, problem resolution, data analysis and reporting and teamwork and collaboration.

In this role, you will:

• Plans and administers performance tests on aeronautical equipment, controls, systems, and other products and systems.
• Designs and directs engineering and technical personnel in testing and test-control apparatus and equipment.
• Coordinates and directs engineering activities concerned with the development, procurement installation, and calibration of instruments, equipment, and control devices required to test, telemeter, record, and reduce test data.
• Determines conditions under which tests are to be conducted and sequences and phases of test operations. Directs and exercises control over operational, functional, and performance phases of tests.
• Confers with scientific, engineering, and technical personnel to resolve testing problems, such as product or systems malfunctions, incomplete test data, and data interpretations considering such factors as conditions under which the test was conducted and instrumentation, procedures, and phase of test used to obtain and record data.
• Analyzes and interprets test data and prepares technical reports for use by engineering and management personnel.
• Test planning function involves determining measurement and flight condition requirements to safely provide evaluation, qualification, and certification data. These details are written into published test plans.
• Test conduct involves briefing flight and ground crews and real-time telemetry monitoring of critical parameters. Large volumes of gathered flight data are processed, analyzed, and reported. These results are written into published test reports.
• This position also involves significant teamwork and coordination with flight test co-workers in various disciplines (pilots, mechanics, inspectors, instrumentation, and data technicians), qualification or certification authority representatives, and subject matter expert design engineers.

If you're suitable for this role, you have:

• Bachelor's degree in aerospace or mechanical engineering from an accredited college.
• Four years of Operational Test (OT) Experience
• Secret Security Clearance
• Communication-written and oral
• General aviation knowledge
• Technical writing
• Computer skills: Matlab/Simulink, Microsoft Office applications
• Aircraft maintenance or pilot experience is a plus.
• Flight testing experience
• Modeling and Simulation tools such as SimuLink, COMSOLVE
• Naval or Marine aviation test experience
