Joining Collins Aerospace isn't just about finding a job; it's about embarking on a journey to redefine the future of aerospace technology.
Join the Mechanical Engine Systems (MES) Business here in Windsor Locks! At the forefront of Manufacturing Engineering, our engineers support over 50 individual fuel control and actuation products flying on commercial airlines, private jets, and military aircrafts. Alongside our technicians, we utilize precision equipment in the assembly and automation of our high performance test rigs to improve performance, reliability, repeatability, and quality. Our Manufacturing Engineers drive innovation you can see on display each and every day. Come join our team to support our flying fleet and put your engineering skills into practice!
As a MES Hydromechanical Manufacturing Test Engineer, you will be the unifier between project engineering, component assembly, facilities, and mechanical systems. You are responsible for supporting the component acceptance test specification (ATP) creation, interpretation, implementation, and execution. This role requires engineers to apply the core engineering principles of fluid pumps, valves, and programming. In addition to supporting the hydromechanical fuel controls and actuators, you will lead test rig development, troubleshooting and programming. Testing our aerospace products to the highest rigor, standards, and quality is pivotal to assuring the safety of our commercial and military aircrafts.
