    • 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

    • Strong understanding of engineering lifecycle activities from concept to certification

    • Experience working with ARP4754, ARP4761, and other relevant aerospace standards

    • 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
