Develop and review test specifications, procedures, and acceptance criteria for ground-based, laboratory, and flight test campaigns
Lead and participate in system integration activities, including hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), bench-level testing, and aircraft-level integration
Coordinate and conduct interface testing between EW equipment, aircraft avionics, and other mission systems to ensure functional compatibility
Support qualification and verification of equipment at supplier and Airbus test facilities, including monitoring of environmental, EMC, and performance testing
Analyze test data, identify root causes of discrepancies, and drive corrective actions in collaboration with suppliers and internal engineering teams
Validate equipment behavior against system and operational requirements through structured test campaigns
Contribute to test readiness reviews (TRR), and flight test planning
Act as technical interface during integration and test phases with internal departments, suppliers, partner companies, and customer representatives
Document test results, generate integration reports, and support certification and approval processes
Your Qualifications and Skills:
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Avionics, Aerospace Engineering, Software Engineering, or a related field
Solid understanding of avionics integration, test methodologies, and verification processes (e.g., DO-178C, DO-254, ARP4754, ARP4761)
Experience in system-level testing, HIL testing, or avionics integration in a military or aerospace environment
Familiarity with Electronic Warfare systems (e.g., radar warning receivers, jamming systems, missile approach warning) and their integration into combat aircraft
Knowledge of Eurofighter avionics architecture, data buses, and mission system interfaces is highly desirable
Practical experience with test tools, data acquisition systems, and scripting is a plus
Experience working with equipment suppliers in a test and integration context
