Job Description
SCOPE
This position involves setting up and/or performing characterization and acceptance testing of products involving high pressure pneumatic, mechanical and electro-mechanical components and assemblies. The ideal candidate will have some relevant experience in the construction and selection of electronics and instrumentation items to construct test rigs for evaluation testing of electro-mechanical products. Additional skills in the areas of test rig design, assembly and prototyping of electro-mechanical items which may include electrical sensors, pneumatic devices, solenoid and motor operators are beneficial. Job duties will include working under the direction of Test and/or Product Engineers to construct and conduct tests of our products in an R&D lab environment. Tasking guidance may come in a range of formats from informal/verbal to detailed written plans and instructions and formal drawings and specifications. An ability to create written plans/procedures for conduct of testing across a range of test article types from component to all-up assemblies is a plus. Must be flexible and able to work in a fast-paced environment in groups or individually. Experience and evidence of creating successful outcomes inside a small team is a plus.
This position requires a strong background in the application, and operating principles of electronic circuits and instrumentation concepts. Typical measures include pressure, temperature, current, shaft speed, voltage, current and resistance. Familiarity with LAN networking concepts and operations is a plus. The candidate should be comfortable working in an aerospace development test environment with a major emphasis on high pressure pneumatics, mechanical and electro-mechanical components/assemblies. The ideal candidate will have relevant experience in a development lab environment with experience in assembly and testing of developmental hardware for complex electro-mechanical assemblies. Background with high pressure pneumatics and hydraulics and test facility operation/set-up is a plus.
