Senior Systems Integration & Flight Test Engineer

ppDeltaQuad develops autonomous UAV systems for demanding operational environments. Our platforms are built to perform where reliability, resilience and operational readiness are critical. /ph3About the Resilience team /h3pThe Resilience team bridges engineering and operations. We validate new capabilities, solve complex field issues and continuously improve the reliability of our UAV platforms. By combining system integration, testing and operational feedback, we ensure our technology is ready for deployment. /ph3The role /h3pAs a Senior Systems Integration Flight Test Engineer, you own end-to-end system integration and validation. You connect hardware, software, RF communications, avionics, PNT, payloads, ground systems and operators so individual components become a reliable, mission-ready system. /ppYou turn operational needs and incomplete field evidence into measurable requirements, controlled configurations, representative tests and objective acceptance evidence. The role covers integration, root-cause analysis, flight readiness, technical release and operational handover. /ph3What you’ll do /h3ulliTranslate operational needs and field failures into system requirements, acceptance criteria and validation plans. /liliMaintain system architecture, interface-control, wiring, network, timing and configuration documentation. /liliDefine technical assumptions, test gates, known limitations, ownership and rollback conditions. /liliIntegrate UAV platforms, avionics, radios, payloads, sensors, PNT, edge computers, mission software and ground equipment. /liliReproduce failures and lead root-cause analysis across RF, power, EMI, software, networking, mechanical and operator factors. /liliBuild representative integration rigs, HIL environments and instrumented UAV configurations. /liliDefine logging, synchronisation, ground truth, instrumentation and data-quality requirements. /liliConduct fault injection across power, sensors, PNT, radios, networks, interfaces and timing. /liliDevelop repeatable scripts, checklists and methods for regression and acceptance testing. /liliPlan and execute bench, HIL, ground, range, environmental and flight tests with clear safety controls. /liliPrepare test cards, contingency actions, flight-readiness evidence and technical go/no-go recommendations. /liliAnalyse data, track anomalies and confirm closure against acceptance criteria. /liliProduce release packs, installation instructions, operational limitations, acceptance checklists and rollback procedures. /liliSupport field trials, customer demonstrations, operator training, deployments, incident response and after-action reviews. /li /ulh3Who you are /h3pYou are curious, hands-on and driven to deliver systems that perform in the real world. You work confidently across disciplines, communicate clearly and remain calm under pressure. /ppYou establish root cause, validate corrective actions and maintain configuration traceability. You can state uncertainty, challenge unsupported conclusions and stop testing when safety or evidence is insufficient. /ppFlight testing and operational deployments may require international travel or participation in a formally managed out-of-hours support arrangement.| /ph3What you bring /h3ulliBachelor’s or Master’s degree in Aerospace, Systems, Electrical, Mechanical, Mechatronics, Robotics, Software Engineering or equivalent experience. /lili5+ years of experience in systems integration, verification, validation, flight testing or mission-critical UxV systems. /liliProven experience taking a complex system from incomplete evidence through root cause, validation, release and operational use. /liliPractical experience with UAVs, aerospace or autonomous systems. /liliWorking knowledge of PX4, MAVLink, flight controllers, telemetry, flight logs, mission planning and ground-control systems. /liliCross-domain understanding of electrical systems, embedded software, IP networking, RF communications, mechanical integration and PNT. /liliExperience creating system architectures, ICDs, wiring definitions, network plans and controlled configuration baselines. /liliHands-on ability with configuration, scripting, packet capture, log analysis, test equipment and field repair. /liliExperience with HIL, SIL, telemetry replay, test automation or fault injection is an advantage. /liliStrong data-analysis, technical writing and problem-solving skills. /li /ulh3Why DeltaQuad /h3ulliWork on technology that has real-world operational impact. /liliWork with the latest innovations in autonomous aviation, AI, embedded systems, RF communications, advanced sensors and mission software. /liliTake ownership from system integration to operational deployment. /liliCollaborate with a multidisciplinary team of passionate engineers. /liliSee your work tested, flown and used by customers around the world. /liliHelp shape the next generation of autonomous aerial systems. /li /ulh3What we offer /h3ulliCoaching and professional growth opportunities /lili27 vacation days (based on full-time) /lili38-hour workweek with flexible working hours /liliTravel reimbursement of €0.25/km or full compensation for public transport (2nd class) /liliExcellent pension scheme through the PME pension fund /liliWork in an innovative, high-tech environment with real-world impact /liliOpen, informal company culture where your ideas are valued /liliLunch provided by DeltaQuad, monthly team drinks, and regular team activities /li /ulpPlease note that, as part of our recruitment process, we may request a Certificate of Conduct (VOG) and conduct a background screening in accordance with our screening policy. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation throughout this process. /p /p #J-18808-Ljbffr
