About The Position

Aviation Test Engineer The Opportunity: When a user tries new software, they expect it to be intuitive and run smoothly. Functionality, reliability, and user experience are key to successful software development—and that means rigorous testing. That’s why we need you, a knowledgeable test engineer who knows how to thoroughly test software and work with developers to make sure our team releases the best software possible. As a test engineer on our team, you’ll use your experience to work with testers, developers, and engineers to evaluate software developed for our nation’s airspace. You’ll work on creating a test plan with test cases based on user stories. Using automation to streamline, you’ll generate data and implement the test cases to observe how the software performs, then document the results and communicate defects to the development team so they can start improving the tool. You’ll automate continuous security and performance testing and monitor the health of the system. This is an opportunity to leverage your skills by writing the code to test. You’ll also further your experience in artificial intelligence and machine learning and explore new areas like aviation operations. Work with us as we develop software solutions to modernize our nation’s airspace. Join us. The world can’t wait.
