About the Position

Are you ready to change the world? One Way Aerospace is rebooting the arsenal of democracy by providing long-range, precision strike drones mass-produced in Ukraine. We are looking for an Electrical Engineer – System and Manufacturing Test to join our mission. If building systems to yield a 2-5x increase in reliability and production volume in the next 3 months appeals to you, read on.

One Way Aerospace believes that access to effective defense strategies should not depend on your GPS coordinates. We are at the forefront of a logistics revolution, using autonomous aircraft to deliver just-in-time, affordable, disposable, and effective defense systems, 7 days a week. Are you interested in building a system that can support a whole nation?

Responsibilities

As a member of the Hardware Reliability and Test team, you will:

• Join and help shape a passionate, high-commitment, and high-initiative culture.
• Synthesize design and field data to develop test systems, test procedures, and validation plans.
• Solve complex problems with little direction, defining milestones, schedules, managing vendors, and mitigating risks.
• Ensure that the smallest details of the user interface or instrumentation deliver an elegant solution to our customers.

Requirements

• Must-Have Project Experience

  • Experience on a mission-driven team in a passionate and high-commitment, high-initiative environment.
  • Capable of solving complex multidisciplinary problems with little supervision on schedule as an individual or as a member of an integrated team.
  • Full life-cycle development of new electromechanical hardware test systems – revolutionary, not evolutionary approaches.
  • Hands-on builder: Build, commission, and run complex systems working closely with vendors and engineering technicians.

• Must-Have Technical Experience

  • Prior experience designing and testing high power electrical systems, owning full product development from concept through commission and hand-off.
  • Trusted technical expert in designing electrical systems resilient to harsh environments, ESD, and high electrical noise.
  • Enthusiastic about developing a diverse, evolving hardware test and manufacturing test capability in-house.
  • Excellent written, verbal, and visual communication.
  • Ability to synthesize elegant solutions from disparate industries like aerospace, consumer electronics, or construction.
  • Hands-on fabrication of test equipment: circuit board design, setup, and monitoring of ongoing tests, maintenance of in-house durability and manufacturing test equipment.

Milestones

• In 1 Month

  • Expertly manage and lead a complex test system or HITL bring-up including deriving requirements, end-state, and overall scope.
  • Develop a credible plan given the risks, gains, and time sensitivity and then get hands-on to make it happen.
  • Independently perform a validation test including scoping, setup, operation, issue identification, and report clear, repeatable test procedures from minimal specifications.
  • Put wisdom through results in the design team’s hands within 3 weeks.

• In 3 Months

  • Drive design changes into flight-critical systems through fact and data-driven approaches.
  • Be recognized as a subject matter expert on the Test team who coaches and teaches others to level the entire team-up.
  • Lead root-cause investigations, especially relating to complex system interactions.
  • Work closely with mechanical, electrical, and embedded software disciplines to establish clear test objectives from technical concepts; enable ground test solutions for flight systems; communicate actionable design improvements at the moment of greatest value.
  • Translate hardware knowledge into testers which enable reliable manufacture of our components.

• In 6 Months

  • Own electrical test-system development across our projects and mentor others in this area. For example, test platforms for ESD, signal noise, back-EMF, mechanism cycle testing.
  • Provide forward-looking choices on in-source vs. outsource, invent vs. leverage. Develop and maintain a lasting network of test equipment and service partners.
  • Serve as a voice of One Way Aerospace Flight Operations by applying quantitative acceptance criteria to design validation tests.

We Offer

• Competitive opportunities to make a real impact.
• A chance to work in a dynamic and innovative environment.
• A collaborative and inclusive culture.
