Responsibilities:

Develop, author, execute, and maintain verification plans, test procedures, test cases, and compliance reports for high‑voltage electrical systems
Translate system and subsystem requirements into clear, testable verification artifacts, including cleanup and refinement of existing verification requirements
Define appropriate verification methods (test, analysis, inspection, demonstration), success criteria, configurations, and environmental conditions
Perform requirements analysis to ensure testability and maintain bidirectional traceability between requirements, test activities, and verification results
Plan and support integration and system‑level testing of high‑voltage systems with other aircraft systems across integration labs, HIL environments, and ground or flight test settings
Execute and support verification of high‑voltage components and subsystems, including batteries, high‑voltage harnesses and cabling, distribution boxes, power electronics, superchargers, and charger components
Analyze test data using tools such as MATLAB or Python and document results to substantiate compliance
Support certification activities by preparing verification evidence, managing anomalies and deviations, and participating in conformity inspections and test witnessing
Collaborate with systems engineering and cross‑functional teams to resolve requirement gaps, integration issues, and verification challenges

Qualifications:

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a related field
5+ years of experience in verification, validation, systems, or test engineering within aerospace or another safety‑critical industry
Strong experience with aviation test planning, execution, and compliance reporting
Hands‑on experience developing verification artifacts for complex, integrated hardware systems
Solid understanding of requirements‑based verification, traceability, and certification‑driven development
Experience with requirements and lifecycle management tools such as DOORS, Polarion, Jira, or Windchill
Experience supporting system integration, HIL, environmental qualification, or ground testing
Proficiency with data analysis tools such as MATLAB, Python, or equivalent
Strong technical documentation, communication, and cross‑functional collaboration skills
Familiarity with high‑voltage and battery standards (e.g., SAE, UL, IEC, DO‑311, ASTM) is a plus
Experience with certification frameworks such as ARP4754A and FAA or EASA programs is a plus
Background in electric propulsion, aircraft power systems, or high‑voltage electrical architectures is highly desirable
