Job description

At Zone 5 Technologies, we're redefining what's possible in unmanned aircraft systems. Our team of engineers and innovators is developing cutting-edge autonomous solutions that push the boundaries of UAS technology - solving complex challenges that matter.
We're building the future of UAS capabilities, and we're looking for exceptional talent to join us. If you're driven by hard problems, energized by rapid innovation, and ready to make an impact on next-generation flight systems, you belong here.
Role Summary
At Zone 5 Technologies, Systems Integration & Test Engineers support the development and execution of Hardware-in-the-Loop (HITL) environments, as well as the integration, bring-up, and validation of new technologies and features.
This role is hands-on and execution-focused, operating within a collaborative cross-functional team to mature, integrate, test, and troubleshoot avionics, systems, and subsystems prior to production.
Mid-level engineers in this role independently develop & execute integration and HITL test environments, own subsystem-level integration efforts, and play a key role in validating hardware and software prior to testing. This position balances hands-on engineering with increasing technical ownership and responsibility.
Responsibilities
HITL Development & Ownership
  • Develop and maintain flight-representative HITL rigs
  • Integrate avionics, sensors, and control systems into test environments
  • Develop scripts/tools for simulation-driven testing

  • Validate communication protocols (CAN, Ethernet, UART)
  • Perform signal integrity and timing analysis

Mechanical Integration (Mechanical)
  • Design packaging solutions considering SWaP constraints
  • Support thermal management and environmental validation
  • Develop integration hardware and mounting solutions

Ground Testing & Flight Support
  • Execute and lead integration test procedures
  • Identify, troubleshoot, and resolve integration issues
  • Support flight test campaigns and on-aircraft validation

Qualifications
  • Bachelor's degree in relevant engineering field
  • 3-8+ years of experience in aerospace integration/test
  • Strong understanding of embedded systems and avionics architectures
  • Experience working independently in lab/test environments

Preferred
  • SIL / HIL experience
  • Flight test support experience
  • Configuration management experience
  • UAV/autopilot integration experience

Leveling Signals
  • Works independently on well-defined problems
  • Owns subsystems or test environments
  • Mentors junior engineers
  • Contributes to system-level decisions

Pay Range
Level III - $129k - $149k
Level IV - $150k - $170k
Pay range for this role
$129,000-$170,000 USD
What's in it for you:
