Senior Avionics Test Engineer

About the role

Imagine being responsible for designing automated test solutions, executing complex hardware in the loop tests, and analyzing data to identify anomalies. In this role, you work closely with the different development teams across the programs, creating a constant feedback loop that helps them validate and improve their components throughout the development process. Your work ensures that issues are detected early, performance is validated rigorously, and every system moves one step closer to being flight ready.

At Destinus, we are revolutionizing the defense industry with cutting-edge Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs). Our innovative technologies are designed to meet the unique demands of modern defense operations, delivering unparalleled speed, precision, and cost effectiveness. Destinus partners with government agencies and defense organizations worldwide to provide advanced solutions for mission-critical operations, enabling a new era of efficiency and technological superiority. Join us in shaping the future of defense with groundbreaking aerospace innovations.

What You´ll Do

• Test Development: Designing and executing comprehensive test cases, scenarios, and procedures for avionics (sub-)systems and integration, including Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing.
• System Setup: Designing, commissioning, and maintaining test rigs and laboratories for electrical systems, including high-voltage, high-power systems.
• Troubleshooting: Extensive hands-on experience debugging electrical cabinets, wiring, and avionics instrumentation.
• Automation & Instrumentation: Utilizing tools like Matlab/Simulink or LabVIEW (National Instruments) to automate testing, including interfacing with CAN, RS422/485, Ethernet, and USB.
• Compliance: Ensuring systems meet aerospace or military standards as required

What You’ll Need

• 7+ years in aerospace test laboratories, with experience in at least one new aircraft or launch vehicle program.
• Master’s or Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or equivalent.
• Strong leadership required with the ability to work independently and communicate with various stakeholders with the capability to manage multiple projects simultaneously.
• Advanced coding skills in Python, C, and C++.
• Proficient knowledge in usage and connection of Git, JIRA, TestRail, CI/CD.
• Knowledge of embedded and realtime systems

Who You Are

You thrive in a fast paced, hands on environment where complex systems are your playground. You enjoy digging into details, connecting the dots between hardware, software, and data, and turning test results into clear insights for engineering teams. You are naturally curious, structured in your approach, and comfortable collaborating with multiple development teams at the same time. When something does not behave as expected, you stay calm, analytical, and persistent until you understand why and help drive the solution forward.
