Mgrosso,
May I suggest rereading my post about modern flight test being a team sport? With the qualifications you state, I would suggest applying to any of the airframe companies for an engineering position within their Flight Test department. Once there, you are likely to carry out flight tests as an engineer and, if you do not find that sufficiently rewarding, may be able to advance (?) to a full time FTE position. This is how the bulk of non-military path FTEs get into the business.
