Not RequiredCollins Aerospace is seeking a skilled Senior Manufacturing/Operations Engineer to join our Test Equipment Services team in Melbourne, FL. In this critical role, you’ll serve as the technical authority for installation, maintenance, troubleshooting, repair, and calibration of complex Collins avionics and electronic systems within the electrical AC/DC discipline. You’ll work at the intersection of hardware, software, and precision measurement—developing and supporting calibration interfaces, writing LabVIEW-based software, and ensuring our test equipment operates at peak performance to support mission-critical aerospace programs.
