Systems Test Engineer III

Our mission at Skyryse is nothing less than a new era in flight, where fatalities are nearly zero, piloting any aircraft is simple and safe, and the sky is accessible to all. SkyOS, our industry-first universal operating system for flight, provides any airplane or helicopter with a fly-by-wire flight management solution that significantly reduces the complexity of flying. Skyryse One, our first production aircraft powered by SkyOS, was unveiled in 2024 and features the simplest, safest, and most intuitive flight controls in general aviation.

SYSTEMS TEST ENGINEER III - EL SEGUNDO, CA

As a Systems Test Engineer III, you will support the integration and testing of fly-by-wire flight control systems and their respective components (i.e. flight control computers, electromechanical actuators). This includes supporting the design and development of the test cases, test equipment, test models, and test automation required to facilitate such integration and testing. You will be part of a team that collaborates closely with systems engineers, hardware engineers, and software engineers to verify system functionality and performance, ensuring that tests provide full coverage and accurately simulate real-world conditions and failure scenarios. 

RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Participate in the design, development, and maintenance of hardware-in-the-loop test environments used for integrating and verifying fly-by-wire flight control systems and components.
• Perform data post-processing and analysis to support cross-functional failure investigations and problem resolutions.
• Assist with the integration and testing of avionics and actuation subsystems to verify compliance with safety and performance requirements.
• Design test cases and methodologies to thoroughly exercise system functionality and test system response to injected failures.
• Provide support during DO-160 standard environmental and EMI qualification test campaigns, including the design, development, and maintenance of test support equipment to representatively operate the unit-under-test. 
• Work in a collaborative manner with other engineering disciplines such as Systems, Software, Hardware, Flight Test. 

MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS:

• Bachelor of Science in Systems, Mechanical, Electrical, Software or related engineering field (or equivalent experience).
