- You will take part in activities supporting builds of the aircraft from prototype through at rate production.
- You will coordinate and collaborate closely with the Systems Test function to learn testing principles, understand design and test intent, and develop production level tests and checks to incorporate into the final aircraft assembly production line.
- You will plan and execute component inspections and tests, requiring you to be hands-on with electro-mechanical components, as well as working closely with selected vendors and internal IPTs to define test requirements and ensure product quality.
