Avionics Test Engineer

A growing engineering organization is seeking multiple Avionics Test Engineers across various experience levels to support advanced hardware development and integrated test operations within a fast-paced hardtech environment. This role offers the opportunity to work closely with multidisciplinary engineering teams focused on avionics systems, instrumentation, and data acquisition technologies.

The ideal candidate is a self-starter who thrives in hands-on engineering environments and is comfortable working both independently and collaboratively on complex technical challenges.

Responsibilities

• Develop and execute component-level and system-level avionics test procedures.
• Support the design, setup, integration, and operation of hardware test rigs and test environments.
• Perform debugging, troubleshooting, and validation of avionics hardware and test systems.
• Work with data acquisition systems to collect, monitor, and analyze test data.
• Support instrumentation integration, sensor setup, signal verification, and system diagnostics.
• Collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams to support test readiness, issue resolution, and system validation activities.
• Contribute to test documentation including procedures, test reports, validation records, and troubleshooting logs.
• Apply first-principles engineering approaches to problem-solving, root-cause investigations, and hardware development decisions.
• Support iterative development and rapid hardware testing in a dynamic engineering environment.

Required Skills & Experience

• Experience working with DAQ (Data Acquisition) systems and test instrumentation.
• Hands-on experience with hardware test rigs, integration setups, or laboratory test environments.
• Experience debugging avionics systems, embedded hardware, or integrated electrical systems.
• Strong analytical and troubleshooting skills with a practical, hands-on engineering mindset.
• Ability to work independently while also contributing effectively within a collaborative team environment.

Preferred Skills

• Familiarity with NI (National Instruments) DAQ hardware and related software tools.
• Experience with automated test systems and hardware validation processes.
• Exposure to aerospace, automotive, robotics, defense, or other high-reliability hardware industries.
• Understanding of sensors, instrumentation, electrical integration, and signal analysis.
• Experience supporting fast-paced hardware development programs.
