  • Stay current with industry developments and emerging testing methodologies

  • Contribute to process improvements to enhance safety, efficiency, and reliability

  • Support the future build-out and leadership of the test engineering team

Requirements

  • Familiarity with eVTOL certification frameworks (TCCA, FAA, EASA) is highly desirable

  • Ability to work effectively in environments with evolving and changing requirements

  • Strong problem-solving, analytical, and communication skills

  • Comfortable working both independently and as part of a multidisciplinary team

  • Leadership mindset with the potential to take on team management responsibilities

Whats Offered

  • No fixed holiday cap

  • Competitive group benefits plan
