Flight Test Engineer Career Opportunities

Locate Aerospace Jobs, a highly-targeted aerospace job board, features a wide array of job search listings for the aerospace industry, ranging from aerospace quality control careers to aircraft mechanic jobs, and many more. Among the employment opportunities typically posted to the website are also jobs for flight test engineers (FTE). Because the qualifications to be a flight test engineer are rigorous, the position pays quite well and there is a natural competitive process leading up to entering the field. An FTE typically will acquire a bachelor's degree in either aerospace engineering, mechanical engineering or electrical engineering, though most employers seek candidates who have received an M.S. in one of those areas of study. There are available positions throughout the U.S. for flight test engineers, though jobs tend to be clustered around military bases and cities where aerospace manufacturing is popular. Nonetheless, our site features everything from Mesa aerospace jobs to Louisville aerospace job search listings, as well as career opportunities on the East coast and around the country. Another typical requirement to become a flight test engineer is graduation from a test pilot school and, because many flight test engineer jobs are with the U.S. government (military), some level of clearance is fairly typical as well. The flight test engineer job description varies somewhat from one position to another, but general responsibilities include flight testing of prototype aircraft. This also includes planning flight test phases, supervising the construction of the aircraft, working with manufacturing engineers and instrumentation engineers to ensure specifications are met, preparing the "flight card" for the test flight and documenting the results of flight tests. In many instances, the FTE will fly in the test aircraft, though on other occasions the FTE will monitor the test remotely and be in constant radio contact with the test pilot.
