Joining Collins Aerospace isnt just about finding a job; its about embarking on a journey to redefine the future of aerospace technology.

The Electronics Test Engineering (ETE) organization designs integrates and deploys test solutions for the development qualification and production testing of avionic electronic devices. The organization is a cross-functional team of Project Engineers Circuit Engineers Software Engineers and Test Requirement Engineers. Our team provides a shared service that supports the Program and Product teams as well as Production facilities around the world.

Electrical engineers within ETE support the development of test solutions and related activities for various electronic product lines developed within the Electric Power Systems business unit. Development of test solutions is directed at production testing of analog and digital PWBs electronic controllers power conversion and power distribution equipment used in aircraft electrical power generating systems.

This role offers an exciting opportunity to provide strong technical and functional leadership to a small team of software and test requirements engineers. This position is for a working manager that is expected to take on assignments in one or both team areas.

Software Team:

The software team consists of four engineers working on non-deliverable test software that is used in the development and production acceptance testing of flight hardware. Our software team is using languages including C# Java Perl Python and LabView programming languages in both the Windows and Linux environments. Our software engineers work closely with hardware and test requirements engineers in the same department.

The successful candidate will be responsible for managing the software engineering team members along with defining and advocating software processes.

Test Requirements Team:

There are eight test requirements team members. The main responsibility for a test requirements engineer is to analyze electrical schematics to find the best method of testing a given circuit and to determine the fault coverage the tests offer to each component in the circuit. The test requirements engineer develops the Test Requirements Specification (TRS) for how the test software and hardware should perform to test all circuits within a unit. The TRS engineer then integrates and troubleshoots the TRS on the test platform (hardware and software) along with test unit hardware and software then coordinates the resolution of any issues. Test coverage analysis is performed by the TRS engineer to understand and close any coverage gaps.

The successful candidate will take ownership of all TRS related processes and tools and be expected to drive continuous improvement throughout the organization. The TRS manager is responsible for developing test strategies program specific adaptations and test coverage analysis for Collins Aerospace electronics products to run on existing and proposed test platforms. Assignments include project management of team members and related activities detailed test requirements generation test coverage analysis production support for existing electronic tests and support of outsourced work.
