About The Position

Collins Aerospace is seeking a skilled Senior Manufacturing/Operations Engineer to join our Test Equipment Services team in Melbourne, FL. In this critical role, you’ll serve as the technical authority for installation, maintenance, troubleshooting, repair, and calibration of complex Collins avionics and electronic systems within the electrical AC/DC discipline. You’ll work at the intersection of hardware, software, and precision measurement—developing and supporting calibration interfaces, writing LabVIEW-based software, and ensuring our test equipment operates at peak performance to support mission-critical aerospace programs. When second-line support can’t resolve an issue, you’re the expert who steps in to diagnose, analyze, and deliver creative, technically sound solutions. This is a career-level engineering role with meaningful impact. You’ll represent Collins as a prime technical contact—collaborating with internal customers and stakeholders, planning installations and training, validating technical documentation, and influencing long-term operational objectives. With your deep understanding of AC/DC theory, metrology principles, and avionics systems, you’ll help safeguard equipment reliability, product integrity, and customer satisfaction. If you thrive on solving complex technical challenges, enjoy working independently with broad responsibility, and want your expertise to directly support advanced aerospace technologies, this role offers both ownership and visibility in a high-performance environment. This is an onsite role at our Melbourne, FL facility.
