  • Author or revise shop procedures and contribute to process development for new builds and test configurations
  • Maintain detailed and accurate documentation of work performed, including changes to aircraft systems or configurations
  • Support and execute ground and flight test operations, including pre-flight inspections, test setup, and post-test analysis
  • Identify and proactively address safety or quality issues in the shop or hangar environment
