Skills
Nice to have
- Experience in aerospace, defense, robotics, automotive, energy, advanced manufacturing, industrial hardware, or mission-critical systems.
- Experience with environmental testing, vibration testing, thermal testing, structural testing, endurance testing, electrical systems testing, or qualification testing.
- Experience with hardware-software integration from a systems or hardware test perspective.
- Experience using test equipment such as oscilloscopes, multimeters, DAQ systems, sensors, load cells, pressure transducers, thermal chambers, vibration tables, power supplies, or similar.
- Experience supporting range safety, field testing, flight testing, ground testing, or test safety planning.
- Familiarity with requirements verification, qualification testing, acceptance testing, or compliance-driven test environments.
- Experience supporting root cause analysis, failure review boards, corrective action processes, or non-conformance investigations.
- Basic scripting or data analysis capability, such as Python, MATLAB, LabVIEW, or similar, is a plus, but this is not a software test role.

Tiberius is seeking an experienced Senior Test Engineer to lead the planning, execution, and improvement of physical testing across advanced aerospace and defense systems.
This is a hands-on engineering test role focused on electrical systems, mechanical systems, electromechanical assemblies, integrated aerospace hardware, and mission-critical components. The Senior Test Engineer will own test planning, test setup, instrumentation, execution, data capture, failure analysis, and reporting.
The ideal candidate will come from an Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Systems Engineering, robotics, propulsion, defense, automotive, energy, or complex hardware background. They will have experience testing real physical systems, not just writing software test scripts.
This role is best suited to someone who is comfortable around hardware, understands how complex systems fail, can build disciplined test plans, and can work directly with engineering teams to improve reliability, performance, and readiness
What You’ll Do
- Develop and execute test plans for complex electrical, mechanical, and integrated aerospace systems.
- Own the full test lifecycle, including planning, setup, execution, data collection, analysis, reporting, and corrective action.
- Design and support test setups, fixtures, instrumentation plans, and data acquisition approaches.
- Perform functional, environmental, structural, vibration, thermal, electrical, endurance, qualification, and system-level testing where applicable.
- Support integration testing across mechanical, electrical, aerospace, manufacturing, and systems engineering teams.
