Key job responsibilities

We are looking for a technically strong engineer who excels at hands-on problem solving, cross-functional collaboration, and driving manufacturing and test excellence at scale. In this role, you will:
• Serve as the primary engineering liaison between production, test, and design teams, triaging and resolving hardware testing and manufacturing issues in real time.
• Optimize manufacturing test flows for avionics systems, improving measurement quality, test efficiency, throughput, and robustness.
• Review and approve manufacturing processes and work instructions for assembly and test of avionics hardware.
• Lead disposition and corrective action for non-conformances during production test.
• Lead MRB activities for PCBA and subsystem-level hardware and work directly with development engineers to drive RCCA.
• Create and deliver training, troubleshooting guides, and improved work instructions to reduce recurring support burdens on your team.
• Troubleshoot, diagnose and repair test setups for avionics systems in production.
• Partner with test engineering to improve test architecture, reduce cycle time, and ensure high-quality data capture.
• Collaborate with manufacturing engineering to reduce workmanship errors and strengthen process capability.
• Develop and maintain manufacturing KPI reporting tools, including yield trends, test escape analysis, cycle times, nonconformance velocity, and equipment performance.
• Travel to contract manufacturers (

A day in the life

As a Senior Avionics Hardware Test Engineer, you will operate at the interface of design engineering and manufacturing. You will own MRB for your subsystem(s) and drive rapid disposition of nonconforming hardware. Your deep understanding of how your avionics systems are tested will enable you to root-cause issues quickly-whether they stem from hardware, test equipment, software, or process gaps.

You will co-develop and sign off on manufacturing procedures, validate improvements through data, and proactively identify opportunities to improve yield, reduce test time, and strengthen overall manufacturing robustness. You will also be responsible for building test expertise across our production teams through documentation, training, and hands-on support.

This is a highly collaborative role with the Avionics Design team working with test engineering, production sites, and contract manufacturers. You will operate in a fast-paced environment with high degree of ambiguity-solving problems that have not been solved at scale before-while helping deliver the hardware that makes a positive impact on tens of millions of customers!
