As a Test and Validation Engineer, you will play a key role in developing and validating propulsion systems through engine and component‑level testing within an AS9100 regulated and safety‑critical aerospace environment. You will work across multidisciplinary teams, applying engineering judgment to plan, execute, and analyze experimental engine test activities supporting new engine certification, airworthiness, product improvements, and prototype engine development.

Responsibilities

• Lead and coordinate test readiness and configuration management activities to support development and certification objectives.
• Plan, procure, and support modification, instrumentation, and overall readiness of experimental engine and/or rig hardware.
• Develop build instructions, test procedures, test plans, and technical documentation to support assembly and test of experimental engines.
• Work closely with technicians and cross‑functional design and analytical engineering teams throughout the engine build and test lifecycle, including troubleshooting and investigation of hardware, build, tooling, and test‑related findings.
• Define problems, document findings, perform root‑cause analysis, and implement corrective actions through continuous improvement processes.
• Analyze and interpret test results to provide technical recommendations and corrective actions supporting product development objectives.
• Support production readiness activities that optimize assembly processes and tooling to transition from experimental to manufacturing environments.
• Document engine assembly, testing, investigations, and findings through technical reports and lessons learned.
• Identify opportunities to improve test methods, execution efficiency, and product validation processes.

Qualifications

• Field of study: Aeronautics, Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, Avionics, or related discipline.
• Bachelor’s, Master’s degree or technical diploma and at least 10 years of relevant experience in aerospace, product development, testing, validation, manufacturing, integration, certification, or related complex mechanical system validations.
• Experience supporting prototype development, product validation, testing, manufacturing readiness, reliability testing, or development of complex mechanical systems.
• Strong understanding of mechanical systems and component interactions within complex assemblies, with experience evaluating assembly concerns and technical non‑conformances.
• Demonstrated ability to lead technical activities, influence stakeholders, and work effectively with technicians and cross‑functional teams in office and shop environments.
• Strong troubleshooting, engineering investigation, root‑cause analysis, and technical problem‑solving skills.
• Experience with Validation & Verification (V&V), instrumentation, data acquisition, system integration, hardware integration, or test procedure development (asset).
• Experience with engine development, rig testing, propulsion systems, turbomachinery, development testing, certification testing, FAA/Transport Canada certification, FAR Part 33, or AS9100 environments (asset).
• Strong communication, project coordination, and technical reporting skills.
• Available for occasional travel.

Benefits

• Pension and savings plan with employer contributions
• Group insurance program
• Opportunities for advancement (career progression)
• Merit or recognition program
• Health and wellness program, including virtual health care
