Job Description

As Test Engineer, you perform system-level testing for standard and custom hardware and software systems. You develop new test cases and evaluate the test equipment required to perform quality checks.
You will work on an aircraft connectivity solution that integrates hardware and software components to provide broadband and operational data services on board. The role involves system integration testing of networked equipment and interfaces in a regulated aviation environment.
Work location: Bavaria, Germany (Munich area). This role requires on-site presence in the test lab 5 days per week. Home office is only possible upon request and when work allows (e.g., requirements work).
Contract type: Initially fixed-term (limited in time), with the possibility of extension and conversion to an unlimited/permanent contract.
