Question: What does a Flight Test Engineer do ? A friends father is a flight test engineer for an aircraft company, sounds like a cool job, what do they do ?
Answer: A Flight Test Engineer is involved with the testing and development of aircraft, their components and their systems. Once a new aeroplane (or system / weapon / etc) has been designed and constructed, it must be demonstrated that it functions as required throughout all expected operating environments.
Flight Test Engineers achieve this by planning, co-ordinating, and reporting on the results of dedicated flight trials. Testing can be carried out in the air, on ground or through use of rigs and simulators.
They will often specialise in a particular area of Flight Testing; i.e. Handling, Propulsion, Avionics, etc. Therefore a flight test programme on a brand new aeroplane can take many years to complete. Flight testing is not restricted to brand new aeroplanes, the same process has to be undergone with aircraft and/or system upgrades - whether civil or military.
Some FTEs will spend time onboard aircraft during test flights to monitor progress and ensure that the testing is carried out in a safe and efficient manner. In essence, FTEs are the guys who tell the test pilots what to do....!!
Question: What's the difference between Test engineer, Quality Inspector and Electronics test technician ? Are they all the same ? I have 2 yrs experience as a electronics test technician from few years ago and recently got my 4 year degree in electrical and computer engineering.What can I qualify for?
Answer: Test Engineer also design tool to be use for testing and writes the procedure.
Quality Inspector inspect the component for sizes, visual and other requirement per drawing and other specs (Military or another standard written by engineers organization).
Electronic Test Technician test the unit or component to be tested using the tool and testing procedure written by the test engineer.
4 year degree in Electrical and Computer engineer makes you Electro/Computer Engineer.

Question: I am looking for a job in Software Test Engineer career? Software Test Engineer Career - Can some one help me or give me a pice of advice?
Answer: This is a very wide field and you have not provided much information. Given that...
Get to know computer software operating systems. Vista, WinXP, Mac OS, etc. Also, get to know the PC/Mac itself as to how it works h/w-wise.
Then it depends on what kind of software you will be testing. You may need to learn different types of client applications.
Question: Value of Flight Engineer written test? For you heavy jet guys,
I'm currently flying business jets but am slowly preparing for a move to a cargo airline within the next 2 years. My resume is not super-competitive since all my jet time is in small jets, so I'm trying to find ways to stand out. Is the Flight Engineer - turbo jet written a worthwhile test, even if you're not planning on being an FE? Any other ideas for a strong resume?
Answer: Its absolutely useless except for one company: FedEx. They require you to have completed it prior to your interview. This is because they fly older aircraft and some of them still have a FE station (like the 727). They are phasing those aircraft out and will soon be done, but they still require the FE written. Other than that specific case, theres not a single company out there that would even care one way or the other if you had a FE written test completed. The ATP is basically the same test and that is the one they actually care about
Question: What is the job of a hardware test engineer? What qualifications are required to do this job and what is the average salary in UK?
Answer: generally depends on the type of hardware.
For a manufacturing test environment, the qualifications are low (as is the pay), and they will train you.
For an engineering test environment, you need to bring some qualifications to the table that will allow you to communicate intelligently with the engineers. For instance, I was in a company that develops chemical analysis instruments (hardware) and software. One of the testers has a bachelors in chemistry, but chose to be an engineering hardware tester because it paid more. In another company, we made printers and plotters, the testers were all brain-dead because the job was so redundant (no qualifications needed other than tolerance for boredom).
Question: I was working as senior software test engineer and I have lost my job. What should I do? I am financially backward what should I do as I cannot go for higher qualification.Please advice.
Answer: My recommendation is to get a job any job you are not too good to step down to Mcdonalds and continue looking for a job in your field right now you just need to worry abput making your payments and if you have a spouse then they need to get a job too. Don't panic everything will be okay.
Question: What does it take to be a test flight engineer in the Air Force.(Only serious answers)? Do you have to get a degree in engineering, do you have to do something else in the airforce before you can become a test flight engineer, is the position only out of edwards air force base, and do you become a certified astronaught.
Answer: Test pilots are combined now with the flight engineer.
My father did this for many years. He was then employed as a civilian working with the military with Boeing and then Lockheed, Now Lockheed Martin.
My mothers first husband died after returning from Korea where he was test flighting a plane and crashed in Alamogordo.
Both of them went to School one was a pilot and my dad was an engineer.
Flight engineers are used in the civilian world.
You can apply for flight school but you need a degree Bachelors is preferred to progress.
