As a valued team member, we want to make the internal application process as smooth and simple as we can for you! Please don’t stress about spending hours polishing your resume or crafting the perfect cover letter to get noticed- your application will be reviewed and we will weigh your contributions and performance up to this point more heavily than a piece of paper.

This position will be based primarily in South Burlington, VT with the expectation that commuting to Plattsburgh, NY will be required as needed. The flight test engineer is primarily responsible for developing flight test plans and coordinating flight test activities including test cards, briefings, participating in and leading control room operations, debriefing and data analysis. In collaboration with test pilots and system experts, you will prepare program documentation including test plans, test reports, and hazard analyses. Given the innovative technology you will frequently apply first principle thinking to assess risk and implement mitigation strategies, in addition to established flight test practices. Your responsibility will also include support of certification flight test programs. This includes preparing FAA certification test plans, supporting certification flight test events, collecting flight test data, and reporting on flight data to demonstrate FAA compliance.

How you will contribute to revolutionizing electric aviation:

  • Develop and execute flight test campaigns including preparing flight test plans, cards, reviewing data, and reporting results
  • Actively participate in flight test activities for both development and certification including participating as an airborne flight test engineer or leading a control room as a test conductor
  • Conduct flight and test readiness reviews for upcoming campaigns
  • Critically evaluate test hazards, apply appropriate mitigations, and support a safety review for test events
  • Collaborate with internal engineering groups to collect requested data on the test aircraft
  • Report on test programs to both internal engineering groups and outside customers
  • Minimum Qualifications:

  • B.S. in Aerospace Engineering or related technical field
  • 3 or more years of flight test experience
  • Ability to flex hours to support test
  • Ability to travel to support test
  • Strong teamwork and communication skills with groups of 10-40 people
  • Above and Beyond Qualifications that will distinguish you:

  • FAA pilot ratings
  • Experience in an FAA/EASA Type Certification or Supplemental Type Certification program under Parts 23/25/27/29
  • Proficiency with IADS/Matlab/Python/X-Plane
  • M.S. in Aerospace Engineering or related technical field or Graduate of military or civilian test pilot school (in either flight test engineer or pilot capacity)
  • Physical Demands and Work Environment:

  • The work environment is distributed between an office desk, control room, and hangar spaces
  • Additional Information
