Job Description

The tester’s principal aim is to confirm and support the safe, reliable and effective operation of Airbus product related features and functions across sub-system, system and aircraft levels, primarily using ground based test rigs and the analysis of flight test and in-service data.

The jobholder will contribute to the Avionics system Integration testing by preparing & performing system tests and analyse the test results on all Airbus programs using Remote and/or Virtual Test Means.

Main Responsibilities

• Define System testing methods, strategy and planning, execute tests, record results, perform analysis, record and classify defects. Writing summaries of test outcomes, Test Result Analysis, certification cards
• Use of appropriate means to perform real time analysis and support to flight test, the analysis and defect identification from flight test analysis  - reporting on system behaviour from Flight Test Report execution, produce Flight Test Report Analysis
• The investigation and analysis of in-service events, using ground rigs (real and/or simulated) to reproduce events and support RCA. Create and implement development test for In-Service problems
• The specification and validation of instrumentation on the test means for a given campaign

Contribute To:

• The formulation and planning of test programme through participation in the necessary reviews and milestones of the testing process
• The upstream V&V/Test Strategy required for a propose design (can be from review/advisory) to involvement and direct responsibility.  Use knowledge of both system under test and test means capability.  Challenge test requests as and when appropriate. Involvement in supplier testing.
• The ongoing development, renewal and strategy for test means through use of the test means defect reporting methodology
• The development of related processes and procedures through feedback and lessons learned
• The required innovation to develop the value added component of every tester – e.g.  Automated testing, virtual testing, targeted maturity and free testing, recording and eliminating cost of non-quality.
