• Lead and conduct testing as applicable.
• Work in adherence to structured and defined development processes.
• Collaborate with the Software Engineering Team to develop software system requirements and test requirements.
• Participate in planning, design, testing, and deployment of engineered systems and software to ensure conformance with functional specifications.

Essential Skills

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in aerospace, electrical, or mechanical engineering.
• 5 - 7 years of industry experience.
• Experience developing system requirements and architecture with engineering teams.
• Technical leadership capabilities and sharp analytical abilities.
• Excellent communication skills.
