In this role, you will work both independently and in close collaboration with our team as well as with those we interface with. You will have the opportunity to contribute to both individual and collective results together with your knowledgeable and unpretentious colleagues.

We test fly functions in simulators and rigs to ensure that the software works when the aircraft is ready to fly and perform missions.
