flight test engineer
Flight test engineers work with other systems engineers to plan the tests in detail and to make sure that the recording systems are installed for the required data parameters. They analyse the data collected during test flights and produce reports for individual test phases and for the final flight test. They are also responsible for the safety of the test operations.
Also called: flight test technician, flight test performance engineer, flight test data engineer, flight test engineering consultant, flight test technology specialist, flight test engineering specialist, test and evaluation engineer, aircraft test engineer
