Test Flight Engineer Cover Letter

In response to your job posting for test flight engineer, I am including this letter and my resume for your review.

In the previous role, I was responsible for manufacturing engineering support for flight instrumentation (RTDs, TC, pressure transducers, accelerometers, etc.) and other active components.

My experience is an excellent fit for the list of requirements in this job:

• Rotary wing flight test experience is highly desirable
• Some flight test engineering experience preferred
• Some knowledge of aircraft development and certification processes and techniques preferred
• Experience developing flight test plans to support testing on production or experimental flight test fixed wing aircraft
• Experience conducting test procedures on production or experimental flight test fixed wing aircraft in the discipline of avionics and/or electrical systems
• Experience developing reports to capture test results from test execution on production or experimental flight test fixed wing aircraft in the discipline of avionics and/or electrical systems
• Experience with data acquisition software such as TTC Ware, IADS, DAS Studio, or KSM
• Working experience with bus communication protocols and standards such as 1553, PCM, ARINC, CAN Bus and Ethernet

I would like to submit my application for the test flight engineer opening. Please accept this letter and the attached resume.

In the previous role, I was responsible for day-to-day support to manufacturing operation in the testing area of air circuit breakers including Test Data Management (TDM) systems.

I reviewed the requirements of the job opening and I believe my candidacy is an excellent fit for this position. Some of the key requirements that I have extensive experience with include:

• Should be able to pass a Class II flight physical and altitude chamber
• Experience testing and looking for manufacturing defects at the board, component and box level
• Experience using oscilloscopes, differential probes and other standard electronics test equipment
• Experience with Python, TCL and LabVIEW is recommended
• Using MATLAB, and various CAD programs such as Catia, Autocad
• Applicant should have knowledge of Systems Engineering practices and concepts
• Ethernet messaging
• Electronics troubleshooting techniques & tools

Please consider me for the test flight engineer opportunity. I am including my resume that lists my qualifications and experience.

Previously, I was responsible for technical support for avionics/instrumentation on test stands; provide and update drawings of harnesses/interfaces, electrical power, and data/control systems; provide mentorship/training and troubleshooting support for electronics technicians; calibration of instrumentation sensors.

My experience is an excellent fit for the list of requirements in this job:

• Experience communicating both technical and strategic concepts to the customer, management, technical teams and vendors
• Opportunities are available in multiple labor grades based on proficiency and experience
• Experience working as a Test Director in a mission control room environment
• Extensive background as a Test Conductor
• Experience and skills mentoring and training other engineers
• Experience with system engineering principles
• Experience with coordinating engineering effort in an Engineering and Manufacturing Development program (EMD)
• Experience with development of Mechanical and Electrical system detail designs for flight test instrumentation

I am excited to be applying for the position of test flight engineer. Please accept this letter and the attached resume as my interest in this position.

Previously, I was responsible for analysis of flight vehicle performance, including developing, updating, and validating predictive propulsion system simulations and comparisons of predictions to flight.

Please consider my qualifications and experience:

• Willing and able to work non-standard shifts
• Willing and able to travel for extended periods
• Broad knowledge of helicopter flight line operations is preferred
• Previous experience in the testing of newly developed systems software and hardware
• Generation and execution of flight test cards and reports
• Experience working on aircraft ground and/or flight test
• Experience working with avionics line replaceable units (LRU's) trouble shooting and repair
