Avionics Test Engineer

Do you want to work on a New Class of Drones? Our product universe spans three different platforms with maximum take-off weights of up to 1000 kg characteristic dimension of 8 m: the hexacopter Grille for medical evacuation, the multi-role rotorcraft Wespe for logistics and support operations, as well as the fixed-wing drone Bussard for surveillance and intelligence missions. All systems are powered by RasCore, our highly redundant, military-grade avionics system for safe operations within EASA’s Specific Category. Three aircraft, one mission: to bridge the gap between small UAVs and traditional manned systems. 

A job with high responsibility: You can make the difference and drive our development artifacts to flight readiness. As avionics test engineer you will ensure that our avionics systems are fit for flight and meet the specified requirements. Your tasks will consist of integration testing of new avionics systems, the enhancement of our test setups like our hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) testbench, the development of test cases, and planning and execution of clearance programs. For this you will be closely collaborating with all our design teams while working - in our lab setup, as well as directly on the aircraft.
