Mission

The Avionics AIT Engineer is responsible for preparing, coordinating and executing avionics test and integration activities across different product levels, from PCBAs and subassemblies to system‑level campaigns.

This role translates verification needs and test specifications into executable procedures, detailed test setups and controlled test operations. The Avionics AIT Engineer ensures that approved test procedures are executed safely, consistently and with the correct product configuration, recording all required data, deviations and observations during functional, qualification,



acceptance and integration test activities.

The position requires a hands‑on engineering profile with strong knowledge of electronics, avionics hardware, laboratory instrumentation, test setups and operational execution in a fast‑paced development and recurrent production environment.

Responsibilities

- Review test specifications, verification needs and product documentation to define the operational approach for avionics test and integration activities.
- Contribute to the definition and maintenance of Avionics AIT Plans, including the integration and test sequence, required resources, configurations, dependencies and expected execution evidence.
- Prepare and maintain detailed test and integration procedures, ensuring they are executable, safe, repeatable and aligned with the intended verification or integration objective.
- Define and document the operational requirements for the test setup, including product configuration, harnessing needs, electrical interfaces, instrumentation, EGSE/SCOE usage, software tools, test sequence, safety constraints and consumables required for test execution and automation.
- Support test readiness activities and technical reviews, identifying open actions, setup risks, missing inputs, configuration issues or operational constraints before execution.




- Ensure that the product and test configuration are correctly identified, documented and controlled before, during and after test execution.
- Execute avionics tests and integration activities following approved procedures at PCBA, subassembly, unit, subsystem or system level.
- Operate avionics test infrastructure, including laboratory equipment, EGSE, SCOEs, test benches, data acquisition systems and automated test tools.
- Record and organize execution data, observations, deviations, anomalies, configuration changes and test evidence generated during functional, qualification, acceptance, environmental or integration activities.
- Perform an initial assessment of test execution and collected evidence, identifying missing data, deviations, setup issues or unexpected behaviors, and supporting troubleshooting, anomaly investigation and retest activities when required.
- Capture lessons learned and contribute to the improvement of AIT plans, procedures, setup instructions, evidence collection methods and recurrent execution practices.

Necessary Requirements

- Engineering degree in Electronics, Telecommunications, Aerospace Engineering, Industrial Engineering with electronics specialization, or similar.
- Strong hands‑on background in the operation, validation and troubleshooting of electronic, electrical and electromechanical systems at different levels, from PCBAs and units to integrated system‑level test environments.
- Good technical understanding of the electronic domains involved in avionics testing, including power electronics, analog and digital electronics, communication interfaces, sensors, actuators, instrumentation and, when applicable, RF‑related equipment or avionics interf
