Avionics System Test Engineer

We are seeking a highly motivated Systems Test Engineer to contribute to complex aerospace integration and validation programmes. This position involves working within a multidisciplinary engineering environment to support ground and flight-based verification activities across critical aircraft systems. The role offers exposure to cutting-edge testing methodologies, data-driven engineering, and fast-paced operational delivery. Key Responsibilities

• Execute system-level validation activities across mechanical and fluid-based aircraft subsystems within a live engineering environment.
• Support the end-to-end lifecycle of airborne test campaigns, including preparation, configuration verification, and active participation during test operations.
• Generate comprehensive and well-structured technical documentation, capturing test results, observations, and engineering insights.
• Analyse large datasets obtained from testing activities, applying statistical techniques and engineering judgement to interpret system behaviours.
• Investigate anomalies identified during testing, contributing to structured troubleshooting processes and supporting root-cause investigations.
• Work closely with cross-functional teams, including design, operations, and validation specialists, to communicate technical findings and propose solutions.
• Operate efficiently under tight deadlines, adapting to shifting priorities within a dynamic project environment.
• Continuously adopt new tools, digital capabilities, and engineering approaches to enhance testing efficiency and output quality.
Skills
• Strong foundational knowledge of aerospace systems and their operational principles.
• Ability to quickly understand and adopt new tools, workflows, and internally developed systems.
• Resilience and adaptability when working in high-pressure, delivery-focused environments.
• Advanced data manipulation and analysis capability, particularly using Microsoft Excel.
• Clear and precise technical communication skills, with a focus on structured reporting.
• Analytical mindset with exposure to data processing techniques such as signal analysis and mathematical modelling.
• Programming capability (e.g. Python or similar) for automation, data handling, or analysis is advantageous.
Experience
• Demonstrated experience within an aerospace or high-integrity engineering environment.
• Involvement in system verification, validation, or performance testing activities.
• Background in processing, interpreting, and reporting on engineering data.
• Practical experience in fault diagnosis, troubleshooting, or investigative engineering tasks.
• Exposure to integrated system testing or operational test environments is beneficial but not essential.
