Contract Duration: 6 months with possibility for extension or conversion to permanent

Maximum Pay Rate: $46.15/hr as W2

Position Summary

Morson is looking for a Test Engineer II to join a collaborative team of 10 test engineers in Orlando, FL, building the test systems behind in-flight entertainment and connectivity (IFEC) products.

In this hands-on role, you'll design and develop automated test software and test hardware (adapters and cables), troubleshoot test sets on the production floor, and support test tools used in production and repair at manufacturing sites and airline repair stations. If you enjoy working across both hardware and software, with NI LabVIEW/TestStand and C#, this role gives you a strong balance of the two.

You'll be paired with an experienced mentor. Your first few months will focus on training and supporting existing production test sets, before you move into more independent project work.
