Aircraft Level - System Test Engineer

We’re more than aviation experts, we’re pioneers. We challenge what’s possible. From breaking the sound barrier to advanced tiltrotor systems. Today, Bell is shaping the future of aviation through specialized engineering. And we want you.

The Future Long Range Assault Aircraft (FLRAA) is the Premier Vertical Lift military program in the world. Bell's FLRAA aircraft will become the Army's primary assault aircraft for the next 30 years, sunsetting UH-60 Blackhawk helicopters and advancing the Army's assault capabilities. The FLRAA program is utilizing the latest in cutting edge technology to expand the United States Army’s tactical advantage in future conflicts. The Bell FLRAA team seeks the top engineering talents from around the industry to design, develop, and deliver the world’s next-generation military aircraft.

Aircraft Level - System Test Engineer(s), FLRAA\:

Come work with some of the most innovative and talented teams to integrate and test complex aircraft subsystems. As a world class platform integrator, you will ensure that all the aircraft subsystems and software meet design and safety requirements for the most efficient and safe platform for the pilots and crew through development and execution of a comprehensive and effective testing program. At Bell you will work with suppliers and customers, to test mission requirements with the latest technology and modular architecture.

You will be doing end to end testing of all aircraft functions including Avionics & Mission Systems, Flight Controls, Hazards and Failure Modes and all other miscellaneous functional testing.

Bring your experience and ideas and help us test the aircraft of the future in our Systems Integration labs (SIL). You will be guiding the integration and testing across multiple aircraft systems including sensors, communications, navigation, flight controls and many more. You’ll work with test pilots, Integrated Product Teams and technicians to support the development, buildup, and testing of the next generation of aircraft systems.

This role will be an integral part of the team, working closely with customers and internal technical SMEs. You’ll be able to hone your technical abilities on significant engineering problems, all while gaining experience in leadership and communication. You’ll leverage information available, facilities, and technical experience to guide the development and execution of aircraft level testing for the new platform.

This role is located in both Fort Worth, TX headquarters and the Classified SIL in Arlington, TX with occasional travel to Amarillo, TX required per business needs.

What You’ll Be Doing as an Aircraft Level - System Test Engineer\:

· Create and execute comprehensive aircraft level test plans by leveraging safety analysis, failure modes, and hazards assessments from all aircraft subsystems.

· Manage aircraft and System Integration Lab (SIL) hardware and software installation, buildup, and conformity on the next generation platforms.

· Lead aircraft test readiness activities including resource management, scheduling, and artifact submission for the next generation of Bell aircraft.

· Work with subsystem and software engineers responsible for the development of software and hardware systems.

· Work collaboratively in multi-disciplinary teams to define and solve problems as they arise during test and eval of the integrated systems.

· Work collaboratively in multi-disciplinary teams to adhere and execute an effective test program.
