This includes the documentation and release of test engineering processes and hardware drawings in our document repository system (Team Center). The role also involves executing and analyzing tests and logs for IFEC products, systems, or components, ensuring they meet quality standards and design specifications, and identifying and resolving issues through troubleshooting. This position covers all aspects of test tool deployment and support for both production and repair at our facilities, airline repair stations and contract manufacturers. This includes communicating with stakeholders and customers and managing support requests through tools such as JIRA, email and MS Teams. Domestic and international travel to sites may be required from time to time, especially when support cannot be resolved by other means. The candidate will work with other internal departments (PSE, ISPM, IFE Design Authority) to help troubleshoot their tools (software and hardware) and provide solutions as required, including building their suggestions for improved fault finding into the team's tools. The role also involves managing test tool hardware obsolescence and suggesting alternatives. The candidate will work across several areas, including a general office, the GSRE lab, manufacturing/production floors, SILs and the warehouse. The candidate will join a collaborative team of 10 test engineers and will be paired with an experienced team member for mentorship.
